Play Dates, Friends, and Uhh...Poop

Today has been one of those great days. I got up early and was ready before the kids woke. We took breakfast to a sweet friend, Linsey, who just had her third baby girl. We enjoyed breakfast together while managing five children 4 and under, and we were fortunate to sneak in a couple of 2-3 minute conversations. It was wonderful. And as a bonus, I discovered a wonderful floor vacuum that we're going to buy after naps today. Thanks, Linsey! I can't wait for next time.

Linsey left for the doctor and me and my kiddos loaded the car and headed to Amy's house for a play date. Amy, Jessica and Michelle were sweet to include me on their regular Tuesday play date and it was a blessing to be in their company. I didn't get a picture of the kids playing, but there was Miss Lucy, 4 boys, and 2 babes. I thought they all played really well together. Even Allison and Clayton got along pretty well:
Eyes met:

Hands met:

And now for a little conversation:

Just before we were leaving, Allison was sitting on the floor and fussing. I assumed she was tired, which was totally my fault for being out during her usual morning nap. I picked her up and noticed that she had on an orange onsie under her sweater. I didn't remember putting her in an orange onsie. Well, I guess that's what happens to your winter white onsie when you're sitting on the floor and you have a massive poop. There's only one place for it to go. Up!

Thanks, Amy, for the sink, soap, towel and baggie!

That was a messy one! Now we're all at home and my little darlings are slumbering peacefully.
