Around The Town

1 mom + 3 energetic boys + 1 small baby girl + 1 home = general home insanity + a great desire to GET OUT! :)

Therefore, we've been trying to have as many Gasperini-Ville adventures as the 1 mom can take!
Getting the kids out in the morning and returning for lunch (or having lunch out--an even better option! :), always makes for a more relaxing day. The kids have gotten out some wiggles and we are all ready for a restful afternoon.

And that's without mentioning our wonderful home visitors, who have been giving us fun daily distractions. We had a college friend of ours, C, and her baby, A, swing by for a visit. They live in NYC, but were heading through VA for a quick visit! What joy to see them and feel their love... We definitely gave them a Gasperini-Ville welcome of zooming boys with cars and the CARS soundtrack blaring in the background. What good sports they were to humor our effervescence! :)
C, baby A, baby MG, and me!

To branch out a bit, we moved to the backyard with our wonderful bounce house! It was awesome and kept the boys occupied a bit before succumbing to the hot, hot weather. What you don't see here was a crazy mama frantically trying to bring IN the bounce house before a later storm... Not one of my most wonderful mom moments. lol. :)

We ventured this week to a local firehouse with one of my moms groups. The boys really enjoyed seeing the fire engine and learning about all of the cool fireman tools! They even got to pretend to drive it...



Just yesterday then, we ventured to our local mall, where the boys rode the train with some neighbor friends. It was this little man's first ride and he was excited and so brave...


All in all, great fun for the G clan.
We are all "resting" today--the two older boys are swimming with Mimi and Papa, while J and MG are hanging with Mom and Dad. It's amazing what two children feels like now--what a breeze! Miss my boys in the meantime. ;)

Hope you all have a blessed weekend,

What a whirlwind of activities!! Can't believe you have that much energy! Just reading about all of this makes me tired. Maybe it's just the thought of getting 4 little ones in and out of those car seats!! Kudos! :)

Sounds like your trying to keep busy amidst the craziness that comes with having four kiddos! Way to go B-Mama! I second FL M's comment about 4 car seats; 2 is enough for me and Joey even buckles himself!

Great for you for getting out and about! I'm sure it's a challenge, but worth it to get out those wiggles you talked about.

I didn't even think about the carseats!
