I am hoping I survive this week. It's only day 3 and I have cranky little people on hand. Or rather...tempermental. They've had some good spurts. Some of it is likely being tired. We had a busy weekend. Chris and Alexa flew down to Boston early Saturday morning for an afternoon/evening Red Sox game and lots of walking. The twins and I did a drive to Auburn for Girl Scout supplies. And because they kept talking at me I got sidetracked and went nearly 20 minutes in the wrong direction! But we made it there eventually and home again.
Alexa, Flat Stanley, and Bobby Orr...whomever he is :)
Then on Sunday we had another long drive to go down to Portland to pick Chris and Alexa up at the airport. I made great time down and had nearly an hour to wait for the train. So we went over to Deering Oaks to play on their playground. The kids had a blast and only one injury each. Jake managed to slip on the woodchips when bending over to pick some up to throw and whacked his head on a post. Not hard enough to bring about tears, but enough to embarass him in front of the boys who were throwing chips. Liz decided to try and let go while on a spinning seat. Luckily I was right there. I wasn't able to actually catch her but was able to control her fall so she didn't get hurt. After meeting the train we headed over to Hadlock to enjoy a baseball game. Well...enjoy it as much as you can enjoy a game that is so slow it'll put you to sleep with kids that don't want to sit still. But they had a blast eating ice cream and wandering the bleachers.

The rest of our week aims to be quiet. Today was a check up at the ped for Alexa. That'll be followed up by an eye exam on Wednesday. Otherwise it's just some activities at the library. And home all day...just me and 3 kids...
