Mass Pandemonium

It's hard to believe, but there was once a time when Traci could get together with her Mom's Club friends and have a relaxing time.  We would leisurely spread out a blanket, plop our tiny first infants down with their toys, and pretty much just gab with each other.  Whooo-boy, those days are gone!  Now, each of of us have at least two or more likely three kids, and our get-togethers are CERRR-RAY-ZY!

This morning, five of us got all of our kids together for a bit of bowling.  There were 13 kids on hand, ranging from the age of six years to four months.  Some had never bowled before, but all were excited to give it a go (at least at the beginning).  However, by the time we got the bowling shoes on everybody, got the screens all set up with the kids' names, and secured enough extra-light balls, some of the younger kids got restless.  The next thing we knew, we had the 5-6 year-olds ferociously trying to play by the rules, the 2-3 year-olds roaming aimlessly towards the arcade or pushing all the buttons on the scoring screens, and the 0-1 year-olds just wanting to be fed.  By the time we left, I think every mom just needed to go home and shower and nap.

That's just another playdate with our crazy crew!  Thanks again for the laughs, guys!
