[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 424048, member: 84"] HaoZi Katie is, except with family, basically fairly antisocial. If she manages to befriend a neighbor, I'll be stunned. Happy, but still stunned. She made one good friend in grade school.......and it's the only friend she has that I'm aware of. So no, there is simply no one else to watch the kids. It's not really been short notice either. The wedding has been planned for a couple of months. She just assumed we'd be taking them. In the beginning before Nichole decided to do it at the courthouse for now and do the big deal one later.........I'd bitten the bullet because Nichole had asked her to be a bride's maid. Would be sort of tacky not to make sure she got there under those circumstances, plus that would have been quite far out of town. Taxi would not have taken her. The fairly upscale restaurant is located in/next to the bowling alley. (no clue why but it is) She assumed strangely enough......it was IN the bowling alley, plenty for the kids to do. Now who has a reception in a bowling alley itself?? lol The bowling alley isn't even open to the public on sat nights, it's league night. Nichole's bff and her husband have managed to arrange a ride. (they don't own a car either) I really see no way to make transporting them work unless we use both cars........which neither husband or I want to do. Parking is going to be an issue as well as it is. ugh And while I love those kids, no one but me (and I don't do it unless I have no choice) would volunteer to watch them. When they're good, they're really good.......but when the gfgdom kicks in they take a very experienced warrior mom's parenting skills to keep them under control. So I couldn't even hope to get someone outside the family to do it. [/QUOTE]
