Jackie and the Little Gosselins

I've always wanted a guest blogger. I see it all over the place and think it's fun to get someone else's
perspective... plus, it gives me a break from blogging for once!

Today my guest blogger is my BFF Jaclyne...
While Eric and I were off for the weekend, she kept the kids and documented their adventure:

__________________________

I love my little Gosselins. They make my life brighter and truly, they are like my own. Although I am just guest blogging on this ONE day, I have to say, I have them quite often and enjoy their company. They are three of the coolest people I know, true story.

We spent one Saturday at a book fair on the USC Campus. Yes, hindsight is 20/20 and taking three babies, by myself to a huge college campus during a book fair was a little nuts.

There was some pouting, crying and moments of despair, but it

didn't overshadow the day and we had fun.

Forgive me, for I am not the photographer in this friendship.

I did my best trying to handle the camera, push the limo and keep

track of three little kids who wanted to run around amongst the crowds.

And this is how you roll when you have three kids under 5.... I call it the limo. 

Our first stop, per the kids' request was the Ben and Jerry ice cream stand...

 Prior to this, we experienced a melt down over seating and the fact I couldn't tie
Kate's bracelet on just right... As expected, their blood sugar level was low.

They LOVED the ice cream and ate every last bite. 

 And then we were off to the kid's area, Target had a
huge stage setup with authors and live  performances. 

We made a quick stop at the Medieval Times booth for free crowns, which the babies proudly sported all day. Little Ella loved the ice cream and had two cups to herself!!

Mr. Charlie is obsessed with the Wimpy Kid's book series, which is quite comical because he has never even read one book. Nevertheless, I obliged and bought him another Wimpy Kid book and he was SO proud of his Wimpy Kid button. 

My little Kate wanted two books, so she chose Bambi and Silverlicious.

How can I say no to that face???

The babies actually sat in The Target red lounge and read their books. I had to coax them into leaving because they were quite content where they were. It was a proud moment for this book lover!!

Miss Ella was everywhere, reading every book she could get her chubby little fingers on. She chose an Olivia book to buy, which was selected by her big sister Kate. However, Ella LOVED
and it kept her busy for the loooooong walk to our car.

It was hot and sunny, but they behaved so well. Sibling Love!

 As we were leaving the USC campus, we came across this magnificent tree. I have never seen anything like it in my life. And the kids were all over it. They were mesmerized by the trunk and the hanging tree branches, but most of all by it's size!!!

Words cannot truly express how much I really love these babies.
They are little rays of sunshine and I am blessed to be part of their lives...

xoxo,
