How is it our luck that a nice, quiet trip to the library turns into an adventure? Well it started out @ around noon today, the boys & I decided to head off to the library to check it out. We got there, got a library card & made our way downstairs to the children/teen floor. After a 10 second potty dance Eric decided that he needed to visit the restroom (I'm convinced he is trying to visit every restroom in America, he's on a good roll). Anyways, the restroom is where it gets fun, the fire alarm starts going off!! Try telling a 4 year old that we have to leave the library right now because the fire alarm is going off. "But I don't see any smoke! I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!!" And after a few minutes outside the fire trucks & ambulance showed up. Eric was very interested in the trucks & the firefighters in full garb casually making their way inside (apparently this happens all the time!) for all of about 2 minutes. The rocks next to the sidewalk maintained his interest until it was time to go back in. There was no fire, just a false alarm. Well, our afternoon settled down after that. We got our books & DVDs & went for a ride around town (they both very desperately needed naps). So we drove around for about an hour till it was time for swimming lessons. I love how a car ride can put both of them out cold in about 5 minutes flat!!

A car ride is the only way I can get Ella to take a nap on the weekends. I wish it only took 5 minutes. She caught on to my car ride trick and now fights it as long as possible. She yells and cries, "Turn around go the other way, I want to go home."
