Here's a number......call me maybe

22  - was the hours we had away from the kids this weekend.   Friday night was our annual wrap party.   Saturday we were invited to a wedding and reception.   It was my big fat Greek wedding without the hair and stone pillars.   But also included the non supportive father because the bride didn't marry a Greek man.
55 - was the amount of money we spent on a babysitter.  My mom watched the kids overnight WOO HOOOOOO
12 - were the inches of snow we got this weekend whildst away from the children.
20 - is the number of minutes it takes me to put hats, coats, gloves, socks, boots and snow pants on 5 little people.   That does not account for the time it took to reapply the clothes that were torn off in a fit of rage because the socks were too short for the boots and because someones gloves weren't tucked into their coat good enough.
80 - is the number of minutes that they stayed outside the first time.
33 - is the maximum number of minutes they stayed outside after that first 80 minutes.
12 - is the number of times they've been bundled up to go out since the first time
35 - is the number of coats gloves boots and hats that get tossed on the floor after playing outside
10,000 - is the number of times I've told them to take their wet clothes off in the garage before coming in the house.  and also....hang up your coats.
100 - is the number of fingers and toes that froze and needed to be warmed up in a bath or on a heating vent after playing in the snow all 12 times.




Wrap Party 

The view from the hotel window. Let it snow let it snow let it snow.

No, we didn't get the trampoline put away in time.

Our mud room apparently.
2 sets of bunk beds in one room.  Explanation coming soon.

Something I'm sure to love and remember.
Probably when they can dress and undress themselves :)

This was to be a hat hair picture...he wouldn't cooperate.
which turned out to be very cute any ways :)
