On Thursday I decided to stay home with the kids versus "dragging" them around town. As noted, Luka screams in the car. Besides driving me crazy he is obviously pained. Danijela too despised the car as an infant. Maybe our children get car sick. I don't know. I just know they hear the "click" of the car seat and start screaming bloody murder. I wish I could say I have more compassion for him than I do. It makes me sick to write that. In all honestly I get very self-centered in those moments & just want everyone be quiet. I'm working on it.Anyway, the most amazing thing happened. Melanie & I went walking with the kids Thursday morning. She mentioned Courtney invited us over. She also told Courtney my one goal was to stay at home. Courtney offered to bring her bound house over. STOP! Courtney, like me, has two small children. Ava is 2. Livi was born one day before Luka. This woman was willing to "drag" her kiddos here AND bring a BOUNCE HOUSE for all of us. She deserves a THE medal. Seriously. Even in my own self-centered world I could see that went above and beyond. We went to Courtney's and I am so glad we did. Courtney reminds me of Sundee & Melanie.

We had a great time. That's the best shot of me i've seen in a while. ; ) Glad you came out and sorry the toy bar didn't work better.
Angela, please! I am NO hero. It just falls under the "crazy things we lug around and do for kids" doesn't it?? Anyway, I can't tell you how glad I am that you, Melanie & Sundee came over to play. And thank you for enduring the car ride...I'm sorry to hear the toys didn't help on the way back though. We had so much fun!! I feel so lucky to be taken in by such wonderful women; you have been so sweet to include me and my children, we really feel like we never left "home".
