we did it...

i never thought it would be me but yes, we did it. mason loaded the kids in the van while i was doing my usual locking up the house, grabbing this and that while on my way out the door. before i got in the van i told mason i was getting the mail. after getting the mail i got in the van and opened the much anticipated letter from sila's school, informing us of who her teacher would be. i read the letter aloud and waited for a response from sila...no response(meanwhile mason's driving away from the mailbox & house)i turn around to look back at sila and...no sila. "where's sila?!" i shout. and mese looks at me and says, "she's not here!" then i glare at mason and ask,"where's sila?! YOU LEFT HER?" because of course, it was his fault:) so we put the van in reverse,open the garage door and i race in the house to find sila sound asleep in her bed. i know what you're thinking...but at least she was safe,right? i still can't believe we did that.

Well its a good thing that letter came!! What if it hadn't and you didn't realize she was missing from the car till you got there. I tell eveyone I know... after 3 kids---lose your mind!! Love you guys. See you soon.

at least you didn't get to your destination before noticing that's gotta be worth something right ?

there are so many things to remember when leaving. it's almost easier if you're the only one in charge, because you don't rely on the other to do it. i bet you were glad to see her safe and sound.

seriously sila would probably be fine on her own if you left her for a few days. but that is funny that it took a letter to make you realize what you were missing.
