Everyday is an adventure for my family. Even a trip to Subway can be an ordeal. Last weekend, we had Charsy with us. Just picture it. I was in line ordering sandwiches for four children and myself. I was calling out condiments like a crazed woman and trying to figure out what chips each child wanted. I was that mom. You know the one. The mom who is simultaneously ordering food, trying to get all the children to stay in place, feverishly avoiding an accidental chip theft, ignoring the ringing cell phone, paying with one hand, and balancing trays of food with the other.
I have no doubt that the other patrons of our local Subway were glad to see us leave after we ate, but the children had so much fun. They sat at the small booths while Jay and I sat at a table next to them. I asked them to let me take a quick photo before we left. You can tell that Ella and Charsy were not in the mood, but Hadley and Layton were eager to strike a pose.
