[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 424031, member: 84"] Nichole's reception is next sat. I think I mentioned that 1. Nichole did not want M there period and 2. I was not driving Katie's family. (might have left 2 off......can't remember) Normally driving them isn't an issue as it's one of us and all of them. So they [B]sort of fit[/B] if they squish right. But for the wedding reception......it's not only going to be husband and I, but Travis as well. There is no way we're going to fit 4 more people in the car. M has to work glory be! And I'm not squishing anyone as we're going to be dressed up it's a WEDDING reception. ugh So I asked her tonight if M could watch the kids. Nichole has asked katie twice and received no answer. This is how I know he has to work. Well, that means the kids would have to go. Which is bad as far as transportation.........and also not so great as in truth it's going to be boring as all get out for children and it's set to last until 11pm. Everyone already knows Nana and Papa are Aubrey's safety valve, soon as she starts getting tired we wisk her away to our house to sleep on the couch in her piglet sleeping bag. We could do two trips. But honestly? I don't want to. Katie's kids are doing much better, but I'd rather not test it in a wedding setting. easy child has a sitter for her boys. Aubrey is only going because all her sitters will be there. It's in no way a kid's setting. It's a fairly expensive restaurant and there will be an open bar.
