our baby brigade
today we woke up early.. loaded up the car.. and headed down to Seattle to watch the world cup.. It was a stressful drive full of text messaging and restaurant calling.. just so we could get a seat.. missed our exit.. and was sent over to Quest Field.. alas.. we spread out our men in hopes of finding a restaurant for 7 adults.. and 4 kids.. and I was sent with my bear bear to the taphouse.. where they indeed had 2 tbls for us.. oh wait.. by the time I called dust to tell him.. we lost one of the tables.. ok.. 2 tables of four it is.. ladies in the restaurant section.. and the boys.. care free.. two hands to eat lunch.. live action bar section.. ok.. I can deal.. I don’t watch enough soccer to complain about it. our friends from seattle also joined us!
there were 3 of us mamas.. and four kiddies to watch after.. and it was surprisingly easy.. people kept walking by the table saying how amazedthey were at these children! little did they know we were jacking them up on bottles.. snacks.. and mac n cheese just for some sanity.. but it was ok.. I walked my little olive to the bathroom.. where I thought she had sat in water in the bathroom.. gross.. but turns out.. she had soaked her diaper from all the fluid I was giving her..double gross.. we headed over to old navy to buy a pair of shorts.. than we made our way to Pike Place market.. hit up a baby store and realize Olive has soaked Dustins shirt.. I really want to emphasize SOAKED! dripping pee was coming through this new diaper.. this poor girl was stripped down in the post alley.. and changed again!! I was fortunate to have just bought her a pair of jammies from old navy.. so the bottoms she would rock!
yup.. those are lime green crocks.. pj bottoms.. an earth day t shirt.. and an inside out hat.. she had Seattle granola written all over her!
The kiddies had a little taste of freedom.. and wanted more.. uh oh.. so we walked.. and they cried.. and they walked.. and we cried.. we than decided to hit up Nordstroms.. and when all else failed.. we headed to El Mexican for some patio margaritas and cheesy enchiladas.. when in doubt.. sit at a restaurant..
tired little Winny
Olive did great without a nap.. and was out the second we hit the I-5.. and it was overall just a really nice day in Seattle.. 25c.. cloudy.. cool.. and comfortable..
the only shot of me.. always the photographer.. never the photographed..
yes.. she is eating re-fried beans.. seasoned rice and cheese quesadillas..
her mouth was on fire! kidding kidding
and because she than peed through her jammie bottoms.. ( i clearly am moving her up to the next diaper size.. ) she went home in a hoodie.. and a diaper..
sweet baby zoe
overall.. it was a great time spent with great family and friends.. but it is always nice to come home to your baby proofed home where you can throw your bubbas in bed.. and relax with a frozen golden oreo cookie!
