The time frame between Friday afternoon at 11:00 till Saturday early afternoon was pretty much a big blur. A fun blur, but a blur nonetheless.
We met the Farwell’s at The Boat House (one of my favorites) for lunch on Friday. ate real quick. Jackson & Ellie LOVED feeding the ducks and running around outside. went to the Science Center. drove back to Sara & Ryan’s. unloaded everything. then Ali, Jackson and myself went off to Old Navy & Target. Jackson informs me that he is bored while we are in Old Navy. Allison spends a lot and stocks up on clothes.Jackson begs her for a Spiderman T-Shirt that is too small. I try to convince Allison to get him the shirt because I think it would be funny. girl checking us out is S L O W and starts to drive me crazy (she asked me 3 times if I needed a gift receipt).we make it to Target and Allison again begins to stock up on clothes for everyone. Jackson begs to go to toy section. I take Jackson to toy section. we walk through all the aisles repeating the following,
Jackson: “how much is this?” Lissy: “$50” Jackson: “do i have $50?” Lissy: “No, you have $10. you need to play a couple more rounds of Bingo with Grandma to get more money.” Jackson: “Can I have your money?” Lissy: “No…not when you ask so bluntly. You have to be all sad and sucker me into buying you a toy. You went about that the wronggggg way.” Jackson: “Can someone else give me money?” Lissy: “no” and repeat conversation.We spent about 10 mins in the toy section and Jackson decides we need to walk back down to the end and start over. That is when I say, “oh my gosh Jackson you are killing me!” P.S.- my feet really hurt at this point because I was wearing these really flat flats. You know…the ones that make you feel like you’ve pretty much just been walking on concrete barefoot all day. We pass some ridiculous electronic toy and I blurt out, “seriously?!?!?” as I’m looking at the toy and Jackson (not realizing I’m talking about the toy) says, “I know, I know…I’m really seriously killing you. Keep walking. I think the toy i want is over here.” I laugh. Allison finally rescues me and forces Jackson to make a decision. decisions kill Jackson. we make it up to check out. we make it back to Sara & Ryan’s. Ellie & Bella did their best to spread toys all over Sara & Ryan’s house. Sara was able to get both Bella & Lincoln down for naps. Then Andrew looks up and realizes we had been gone, realizes what time it is and then begins to wonder if they will have time to eat before they left for their show. panic sets it. Sara & I decided if we ordered now & then she immediately left to go get it…we would be fine and everyone would get to eat. we take orders and I called to order our food. then we realize we never asked Ryan what he wanted and we can’t ask him because he was on a conf. call for work. Sara guesses and orders him some shrimp pasta stuff. I was bad catholic and ordered chicken. ordered Rich & Charlies and then Sara left to go pick it up. Ryan get’s off the phone and we tell him what we ordered him…he’s not happy about it because he doesn’t like their seafood ($15 down the drain). Ali & Andrew get ready. Lincoln wakes up. Sara get’s back with food. Bella wakes up not happy. Sara tries to feed Lincoln his baby food while holding him on her lap with her pregnant belly. Ali get’s dinner ready for the rest of the kids. Ali & Andrew eat real quick. Bella just keeps crying because her mom is holding Lincoln and not her. I just hide at the back of the table during dinner pretending i can’t get out. Ryan doesn’t eat his meal. Ali & Andrew leave. Lincolns crying. Bella’s crying. Sara doesn’t feel good. Monsters Vs. Aliens is blaring on the TV. Ryan suddenly disappears. I give Lincoln a bath a pray he doesn’t pee on me. everyone else decides they want to take baths. i get Lincoln out real quick (he’s happy after his bath, yayy!) so that i can dump his tub and fill up the big tub for Bella & Ellie. I start the new bath water. Leave to take Lincoln up stairs to get dressed, but Ellie is standing there ready to get in the tub. Sara comes in and saves me so that I can take Lincoln up stairs. Lincoln gets mad when I put lotion on him and then I realize I left his paci downstairs. I steal the one out of his pack & play. get Lincoln dressed and go downstairs. Ryan appears again and it looks like he is making popcorn. I get excited because I love popcorn. Ryan disappears down to the basement with his popcorn. bummer. Poor pregnant Sara is trying to give both Bella & Ellie baths but Bella isn’t super psyched about having Ellie in the tub and having to share her toys. she’s still kinda cranky from her nap. I realize Jackson is sitting approx. 3 inches from the TV. I pretend I didn’t see it. The girls get out of baths and I get Ellie dressed while Sara get’s Bella dressed. We get everyone situated downstairs for the movie. Sara starts to not feel so hot again. Bella is much happier after baths and her & Ellie decide to jump on the fold out bed. Ellie starts crying because Bella jumped on her hair. I try to get them to calm down. I lay Lincoln ont the bed and that stops them from jumping, keeps them entertained and keeps him entertained. Jackson tries to change into his PJ’s in the middle of the living room and isn’t happy with me when I tell him he needs to go change in the bathroom. We get them all back into the living room and they play a little bit more. We put in Frosty the Snowman(yes…Bella lovesss Frosty and has to watch it…even though we are past Christmas). Apparently Jackson & Ellie enjoy Frosty too. They are all sitting still and watching the movie. Lincoln is snuggling with me. Sara takes Lincoln up stairs to feed him his cereal and put him to bed. Lincoln goes down without a fight. Bella slowly starts to crash and she goes down without a fight. I give Jackson a blanket, he laid down and then he crashed. Ellie sat in between Sara & I on the couch for the next 30 mins or so talking, reading, feeling Sara’s belly, etc. After turning out all the lights and giving her a pillow, she crashes. I pick up Jackson & go put him in his sleeping bag. Ellie eventually drifts far enough into sleep that I take her to her sleeping bag. Sara sets up camp on the couch till Ali & Andrew get home. I gather up all my stuff and head back to my apartment around midnight.
sleeepppppppp
Get up and get ready around 7:00 and then I get a call from the Sedlak house with a bunch of screaming kids in the background. The Farwell’s are getting ready to leave so I need to get over to the house soon. I finish getting ready and rush over to the house. Everyone is dressed, fed & getting packed up. Andrew loads up the car and then they are off before 10:00.
I look at Sara and say, “Wait….did the Farwell’s just come into town or was that a dream?? I can’t remember.
They weren't super impressed with the earthquake platform, ha!
Andrew & Ali are such suckers! Oh wait....I got Bella one last time we went.
Someone isn't too crazy about having to share her toys, her bath & her mom.
Everyone starting to calm down. The key is to seperate them :)
I spy someone picking their nose.
I think I have to defend Andrew on this one. He really did help take care of the kids while I was gone-just ask Sara. Our family has a whole other story to add in while you were sleeping including Ellie falling off the bed, Jackson falling asleep on the bathroom floor and Lincoln just not wanting to sleep too much. Sorry it was such a quick trip Lis, but thanks for hanging in there with us.
Ellie & her pink dinosaur sitting in the chairs is a classic.

If you ever tried Phallomax, pls post your thoughts here. I am about to test it out. Have heard about this solution some very good reviews. Just wondering on how many more inches would this product add to my little bruh down there lol xxxD
I’ve used Phallomax in the past. No doubts this is definitely the best solution for “that” problem. Got it from the UK within a few days and I live in Zambia. Well worth of money spent.
Valuable post. Regards :D
I think other website proprietors should take this web site as an model, very clean and wonderful user genial style and design, let alone the content. You’re an expert in this topic!
I do agree with all the ideas you have introduced in your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for beginners. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
I think I will give it a try: http://bit.ly/2N5npwG
Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
I was just searching for this information for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Usually the top web sites are full of garbage.
Very good post. Btw did you hear about this product: http://bit.ly/2N5npwG Seems like it’s one of those products you don’t normally talk about. I have come across it just now and thought I’d test it out just to see how good it is. watched some video reviews on Dailymotion and they look legit (I mean not scripted). Not all products out there have so many positive opinions. Have a look on it, maybe this can finally solve our problems (or at least yours).
Great info. Regards xD
