Lydia Grace Barron and Molly Joy Barron

Yesterday after school, we picked up Liam for a playdate.  It was so much fun!  It also gave me a glimpse into life with three kids, and I have to say...I'm not so sure that I have what it takes!  But really, the kids were very good, and they played together well.  (Only 1 injury and 2 brief meltdowns...not bad!)

First we went to the Library, where Liam picked out 2 books for himself, 1 for his little brother, and a movie to take home with him.  From there we stopped by the McDonald's drive thru to grab a couple of Happy Meals (which Lydia didn't eat.  I thought she might try it with Liam around - nope.)  They played at our house for a couple of hours before we took him back home.  The giant bean bag chair was a bit hit (running and jumping onto it), and we built a fort (albeit, not a great one, but I tried) and Liam really liked the kitchen and shopping cart in Molly's room, as well as our toy vacuum cleaners.  Liam has an awesome imagination and he's really smart. I'm always impressed by his sharp understanding of things.  He's almost a year and a half older than Lydia, so they're not totally on the same wave-length where play is concerned, but they really love each other and like to be together.
