Poop and standing on her sister

Poop. Poop. Poop. Everywhere. In her panties. In the bath. On her legs. On the carpet. In the toilet (yay!). On Lorelai* At the park. In the pull up. Twice. Everywhere. The odd thing is, she didn't seem to notice it. Ever. She usually does, but this was a different kind of poop. She wasn't bothered. Except by the multiple changes of clothes. And, to top of the wonderful (said sarcastically) week we've been having. She stood on her sister with both feet and bounced. Luckily Lorelai didn't seem bothered either. Yes, daddy is at the station. But, tomorrow they are all his. For a little bit anyway. *just to clarify this was Lorelai's poop. Elle's never made it onto Lor. Although there is always tomorrow.

3.5 years later...

3.5 years ago 3 friends were laying on a bed watching the tv show FRIENDS on DVD. Laughing historically. Tonight, they finished the series. During the time that it took us to get through the entire series, we each had two kids (that is 6 total in case you needed help with the math). When we first started only one of us was pregnant. It was definitely bittersweet to finish. Sad because it's over, but grateful to be sharing life with these two women and their families. It is so easy to take your friends for granted and as cheesy as it is, ending the series tonight was a great reminder of how blessed we are. And, a friendly reminder that none of us is allowed to move away. It took us 3.5 years to get through the series, but it was 3.5 years of great laughter and fun times together. Also, goes to show you how much kids change things. It might have taken 1/3 of the time had we not become baby making machines. Thank you FRIENDS for the entertainment and the reminder of the importance of living in community together. Thank you Mindie and Maggie for being such great friends and living this thing called life with me. You guys definitely make me a a better wife, mom, and overall person. Also, in case you didn't know...the title of my blog is inspired by the titles of all the FRIENDS episodes...
