So, we headed out this morning with a whole list of things to do to prepare for our weekend away. I was not looking forward to it and neither were my kids, but I think we did okay.
Now, I always, always do two things before I pull onto the street with my kids in the car – I do a head count and a seatbelt check. As you can see in that first clip several of my kids did not have a seatbelt on… Trust me, they did when we left the house, but those little boogers unbuckled and there were consequences, in spite of the fact that we drove only a few blocks from home to Target.
Sadly, I was unable to capture the drama that ensued towards the end of the day – ie, Noah’s refusal to get buckled, which resulted in discipline; Julia and Ethan’s argument, which resulted in a tearful Julia; and Noah crying himself to sleep. Bummer.
Wasn’t Aunt Rachel cute, though? She was so nervous I was filming her that she was all giggles and made me turn off the camera!
Lesson for the day:: Sometimes we just need to resort to bribery to make a seemingly not-so-fun afternoon turn out pleasant.

Just watched this with Heidi and my head is spinning! I do not know how you do all that but your kids are hilarious and I love how the little one just gets out of his seat.
Okay, so I loved this.
My youngest, Meleah, really enjoyed it, and I must confess that we watched it more than once.
You look so adorable!

Your kids are ADORABLE and did well with the camera on. My daughter gets extremely silly when she knows a camera is on her. Oddly enough I had fun following the Youngs on their daily errands

Busy, busy day!
