so, today i did
something that might be considered monumentally
stupid. the Cork’s (Matthew and Mardi) are in India
and my parents and the Chandlers have been taking
turns taking care of the kids. however, both of them
were busy tonight and they asked me if i’d take them.
i said yes. i’m not sure why.
i mean, to go from having zero kids to having three kids under the age of 9 in one day is a little overwhelming. especially after The Conversation being this week and with me teaching in The Hub (high school group) tomorrow.
first, i picked them up from my parent’s around 1. i decided to keep the entertained by taking them to Boomers for some mini golf. (good call!)
after Boomers we went and grabbed some pizza at Roundtable. i forgot how good Roundtable is!
after that, i had promised a friend of mine from church that i’d come and check out his art exhibit at the Costa Mesa City Art Show at Triangle Square. the kids actually seemed to like it. unfortunately, Ella fell on the escalator and cut herself. she was okay after a few minutes, but she wanted me to carry her, which i couldn’t do for very long. (she’s not two anymore!)
after that, we went home and played Guitar Hero. but i wasn’t sure what to do with them at this point, so i called Stacy (who was working the Saturday night service) and left a one word voicemail... “HELP!”
she came over around 8.30 and we all walked to Cherry On Top for some yogurt and then watched some of “Elf” before hitting the sack.
all-in-all... a good, but exhausting, day. but we’re not done yet!
