We met up with the Roberts Clan (minus Vernie - who was missed...read on we could have used the extra hands - lol) at The Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield on Tuesday...it really was time, I mean com'mon I hadn't even seen Kira - who is already 2 months old - Ridiculous! We had a great time corraling 4 kids on feet, and 1 kid in the sling on the tour of the factory, which by the way was pretty interesting. Did you know it takes an entire week to make a jelly belly bean, or that they use 100,000 lbs. of sugar a day, not very south beach diet friendly!!!
We enjoyed the beautiful sunny day having a lunch out on the patio with the kids...that is until Melanie had to take Mason to the bathroom, leaving me with 4 children to watch over. Maile and Kaitlyn were having a ball playing keep away from Alison, and Alison was just content with chasing them back and forth...little Kira was an angel just cooing away as I got my baby fix....then, all hell broke loose when Kaitlyn announced she had to go poop...I told her to wait until Melanie got back...she tried but she really had to go! So without all the details, just imagine me, holding baby Kira in one hand, practically dragging Alison in the other (because of course she didn't see the reason why she should have to come along), and telling Kaitlyn "hold it we're alomst there" with Maile in tow, we made it just in time! Okay, so all hell didn't really break loose, the situation was comical - Kaitlyn has a way of needing to poop at the most inopportune times!!! Melanie and I have decided to get together just us - no kids, next time!!!

YaY!! I'm glad one of us didn't forget her camera! :) I had a great time seeing you. Can't wait til kid-free get-together (KFGT) next month. :)
What happened to "Jenifer and I really want our kids to grow up knowing each other" ????? I have to admit, after reading this, I can understand why you want to meet without the kids -- at least until they're all able to use the bathroom by themselves!
