Wise Women

Women are like tea bags. You never know how strong they are until you put them in hot water." ~~Eleanor Roosevelt

April Fools indeed...





Well, I won't say I didn't think about it... I just forgot. The stroller that is... the trip to Seattle was back-breaking... literally. Rob and I feel like we are in our 80's after lugging the twins all over. While Jack outweighs Sophie by quite a bit, he helps because he holds himself upright and strong... Sophie... well, let's just say she's like carrying a 25 lb. boneless chicken. Floppy. Out of balance. Unless you get her balanced just right, with her head on your shoulder and her bum on your arm, you get tired VERY quickly.


Jack loved the street performers at Pike Market... we even stopped for several minutes while he and Maddie watched a duo playing the flute and guitar. He was mesmerized. He was also a big fan of the "Socialized Cat" guy... why in the world anyone would want to put a down vest on a furry animal and put them out on a street corner to prove their "sociability" is beyond me... (Sorry Sarah... )


We rode the monorail, the carousel and hiked to lunch (NO - not a beautiful outdoors hike to some little remote cafe... we HIKED through downtown carrying children from Seattle Center to Buca di Beppo... boy, I sure am sorry I forgot the stroller...). The Children's Museum was a big hit, and so was seeing Auntie Cyn... but in the end, the kids were ready to come home.

Last question for now... WHAT IN THE WORLD am I doing up at 4 am posting on my blog? SARAH!!!???!!! I'm not a young woman any more... I'm quite certain there will be a hefty price for this sometime later today.
