Tonight we took all the girls to Rocktoberfest, our church’s Fall festival. We ate funnel cakes, hot kettle corn and played silly games. Instead of taking a stroller, my husband, Zeb carried Baby Sadie (10 months) in a backpack baby carrier for the entire 3 hours we were there. She loved being able to see everything that was going on around her and never made a peep.
Everyone was exhausted as we headed to the car to go home and I began cooing to Sadie who was still perched on her Daddy’s back wearing her bunny costume.
Me: What a good girl! You are so sweet! You sat in your seat for 3 hours and never fussed! You sweet, sweet baby!
Zeb: Yeah, she sat there for 3 hours…on my back. I’ve been carrying all 20 pounds of her the whole time, I’m exhausted.
Me: Oh, I know you di’unt! I carried all 3 of these KIDS for 9 months a piece, so get you some of that!
Zeb: (silence…crickets chirping….wind blowing)
Me: Mm-hmm… that’s what I thought. You don’t want to play this game with me.
Seriously! My husband every now and then is like, "I'm tired, I don't wanna give the kids a bath, or carry one of them on my shoulders because you were too stupid to remember the double stroller", or something equally stupid. My reply is ALWAYS "well, I didn't exactly WANT to have an eight pound MOVING child in my uterus, but I did it. For NINE MONTHS. THREE TIMES! And then laid still while they RIPPED THOSE CHILDREN OUT OF A THREE INCH HOLE IN MY ABDOMEN!" You'd think they'd stop bringing it up…
love the pic!
'Nuf said! Love the crickets chirping!
Love it! Lee gets the drop dead look if he complains about someone whining or misbehaving. You've been home for 2 hours…I have been with them non-stop for the past 5.5 years! (OK, so I love being with them but a girl needs a break every now and then!)
I want to win!!
