Who knew?

Who knew that I would need a DOUBLE stroller for my baby AND my 5-year-old?!?! Grrrr. Yesterday we walked up to the school. Zane begged and begged. I told him that he was NOT riding in Adley's stroller and he would have to walk the WHOLE way there and back. He agreed. The kids were having field day and he SO wanted to go watch them all play... he especially wanted to see somebody get wet in the dunk tank. They weren't doing that when we got there, or when we left. He was very disappointed and insisted on staying there until they did. I didn't know how long that was going to be and I knew he and I (and Adley) would need to eat some lunch soon. So I said, "Why don't I give you a piggy back ride for a bit" OK!!!! And he jumped on my back. So I'm hauling his Royal Chunkiness AND pushing the stroller. He got tired of almost being dropped so he said he would get down. Then he started asking if he could ride in the stroller. Grrrr. So I laid the seat down, put him in, then placed Adley on his lap. Then I took off running because I wasn't sure how long she was going to last like that. (I'm thinkin' that ME RUNNING was quite a sight to behold-I don't run). Sure enough, she started getting restless. So I took her out and was carrying her in my arm and pushing my pork chop in the stroller. I didn't think I was ever going to get home. But, I just kept thinking about all those calories I was burning. Then I got home and ate a big plate of nachos. So much for those burnt calories...
