This morning...

Today marked the end of our boring week because I had to take all 3 kids for shots this morning. As we waited in the waiting room and they were so calm, I found myself thinking what a worrywart I am and that I was more nervous about this than they were. And then we got into the nurse's room. Joshua was very brave but cried a little and then Gray flipped out and I had to drag him over to the lady and hold him down for his shot. Afterwards he flopped on the ground and refused to move. Julia gave a heartbreaking cry for hers and kept burying her head in my shoulder, calming down, then looking at the nurse and bursting into tears again. But we made it and headed to the library, with me thinking the next time we get shots is going to be trouble!

We got to the library and there was a crowd out front. Turns out there was a library anniversary celebration today. We made it through the crowd with Julia in a sling and Gray in the stroller (so he doesn't run around while we check out) and Joshua holding the stroller. I always get lots of comments with this setup b/c it looks like Gray's younger than he is. I went to the elevator with everyone and then realized I had left my library card in the car so we went back out through the crowd and got the card. When we came back in, there was someone giving a speech that we had to cross in front of to get in the library. I know people wondered what in the world we were doing! Anyway, we ended up staying to hear a storyteller who was there for the occasion and it was great! I've always been afraid of storytime b/c I didn't think the kids would sit still that long, but the boys loved and and even Julia, tired though she was, just stared at the guy for the first 20 minutes. Anyway, nice surprise to get to do that today.

Next excitement: we have to leave by 6:45 in the morning to drive an hour to watch Matt participate in a triathlon. This is sure to be an interesting trip!
