playpen, and J got him for me. While I was snuggling him back to
sleep, M was coughing so much that I decided to get up and get her
some cough meds. Well that made C go ballistic and he cried so hard
that he threw up, yes in like 30 seconds, even with his daddy
consoling him. Here we are with ZERO extra linens, no washer, and
puke all over our bed. (Have I mentioned there are only 2 towels
here???) By this time everyone is awake. So we get everyone and
everything cleaned up (thank you costco wet wipes) and finally get
settled back in. And just as everyone gets calm, the loudest thunder
I have ever heard starts up. At first we thought a nearby building
was crashing down near us. So everyone got all excited about that and
I think it was probably about 2 before we all went back to sleep. Oh,
and the sheets? Let's just say I'm getting good at washing sheets in
the bathtub!
This morning we woke up to sunshine and headed out to the Roman Forum
and Coloseum. We rode the metro over there- we are getting better at
that! We did Palentine Hill and the Roman Forum, and as expected it
was a little wild with the kids. I'm sure a stack of old bricks just
looks like a stack of old bricks to a kid! As we were finishing up
the Roman Forum, the skies just completely opened up. We tried to
hide out under some trees for a bit, but eventually made a run for
some museum entrance, where about 25 other tourists were hiding out.
We went to the Coloseym after that, which everyone liked, but even the
Coloseum is somewhat less impressive when you are wet and cold. We
are happy to be back at our apartment now having a rest! Although I
just tripped a breaker when I was making tea, so I had better call
Leonardo (not kidding) before it gets too much later...
Ciao!

I love that Carter is just barely peeking out in his little ergo-carrier... at least he made the picture. Too cute! Too fun! We're super jealous (of the trip, not the barf-o sheets). =)
Oh, man, what a night. Sorry about that. But at least it sounds like you were super-prepared for it, good on ya!
And what a day!! Really, you can do all that in a day? Are you exhausted? For our short day in Rome, I want to see the Vatican and Sistine Chapel ceiling. Are you going to be doing that so I can get some idea of the feasibility? So cool, your trip. :D
Wow! Wild! Your life is not boring! It sounds like the kids are getting good lessons on being adaptible. Jake and I went to Mom and Dad's yesterday and got Dad's navigation set up in the car and took them for a test run! He will be a great teacher! Miss you all so much!

Well I'm just plain exhausted after reading your latest! Tell Carter that I must have been feeling his pain because I spent the night huddled over the garbage can! Yuck.
I know I already left a comment, but when Grayson and I were looking at the picture together I asked him, "Why do you think Garrett doesn't look happy?" G's reply in a very matter of fact way: "Because Mom, don't you know he misses me?!" Of course. Duh. (hee hee)
