I decided after the long boring year we had last year with me tired and pregnant for most of it, that this year we are going to do more! Enjoy our community, take advantage of all the fun daytime activities that happen during the week!
Soooooo, we headed to the library to enjoy the 3-6yr olds story time. I was sure it was going to be a hit.
I stopped for coffee on the way and we arrived early enough for the boys to browse the books. I sat down at a kiddie table in a kiddie chair with Max Bjorne riding my front. Once I sat down, I couldn't get up. My knees just wouldn't work with the awkward baby situation, so i had this brilliant idea to climb down to the floor to reposition myself to get up. in the process of climbing down onto my hands and knees, I spilled my entire coffee all over the table! There I was on my hands and knees in the kiddie section swearing like a sailor and mopping up the spill with a baby blanket and wipes!
Once my mess was cleaned I quickly ushered the kids into the story room and away from the scene of my crime. The boys played with some puppets and looked at the books they had on display until the program started. A crazy eugene lady with a badly done blue dye job came into the room and started the group off on a song!
Miles ran to the front of the room screaming SHUT UP from the top of his lungs. I had to run to the front of the room apologizing to the offended parents and drag Miles back to our chairs.
Mason decided at this point that story time was lame and for babies. So he acted like a giant baby and crawled under my chair and kicked my seat through the first book. Miles of course followed Masons queues and hid under the chairs as well.
3 books, 4 songs, and a puppet show later and finally it was over. As the other parents were leaving a woman stopped and personally thanked me for breast feeding Max in public. What do you say to that..." Your welcome" That's all that came to my mind.
We were the last family out and one of the library attendants who looked incredibly young (think college student) stopped me and told me after watching me wrestle my boys, she had decided she only wants girls... I was and still am speechless. I'm sure I mumbled some platitude as we walked by. I kept picturing a pinterest pin that reads "your children make me want to OD on birth control."
The library was a hit all thinks considered, we changed lives,some lady will find a way to pick the sex of her children. Miles can't wait to go again and Mason has agreed to come as long as I promise a treat later!
The giant globe was a hit! We found Eugene!
