lives of the rich and the famous....

we so will not fit in this crowd anytime soon... not like we were the only ones with kids (this is a family weekend but) we went away this weekend with Kevin's company to the White Mountains... it was a wonderful break from the daily grind but dinner at the Mount Washington Resort was just so not us... these things are so hard to do with kids... Daisy didn't nap most of the day and was very fussy by dinner time... I had to feed her on the Veranda (no biggie but a little awkward) and Carter had perfected the temper tantrum (and performed this everywhere we went- at Panera, the train station, the car multiple times, the weather museum) this weekend so we were on edge trying to avoid this the whole time we were there... we missed the bus returning at 7:20 (which would have been perfect timing for bedtime) and the next one didn't leave till 8:45... so we went to the playground and Carter ran around like a nut with the other kids and held up the line trying to decide if he wanted to go down the "big" slide or not (he never did despite my coaching)... he ended up settling into the sandbox in his nice outfit =(... oh well no tantrums there... the bus ride back to our condo was nice but both kids were wide-eyed and bushy tailed when we got home... a quick change into jammies and thrown (lovingly) into the pack in plays and then Kevin and I enjoyed the hot tub!... they were fast asleep by the time we were done... and the drive home sucked!!!!... I thought I wasn't going to get home in time for work (which was an awful night!)... lots of traffic and thunderstorms... not a good ending to the interesting weekend but Kevin's calmness eased me enough so i didn't have a breakdown!... when momma's not happy, nobody's happy! This is so true for us right now so I must stay cool calm and collected more and enjoy these babes while I can!
