My Favorite Play Pen

    So, the Christmas after having twins my mother-in-law got me this really awesome playpen. It's very roomy, light, and portable. I love it! I love it so much that I have two, in different ends of the house. They came in really handy when I had to shower or leave them in one room while I took care of something in another. They were a sanity-saver.

(This is how awesome this thing is before you put children in it!)

  Just to clarify, in no way do I blame my husband for what happened... 

  One evening while I was on my way out the door, my husband was jumping in the shower real quick. We did what we normally do in a similar circumstance: Put the twins in the playpen, big boys on the couch, and a reeeeeal good movie on. (I was still pregnant with Jack at this point.)

   I came home and saw this:



    My husband had said that when he got out of the shower he found all found all four boys sitting on the couch. It took him a minute, then he said, "Waaaaait a minute!"
    Logan had decided to cut them out. How nice of him, right? I mean, he just wanted his brothers to come out and sit with him. Yeah, well. He learned we don't do that. Andrew turned the big, gaping hole toward the wall, hoping they wouldn't think to get out.  It took about a day for them to realize they could escape. It was kinda funny though when one would get a leg, head, or some other body part stuck (not dangerously, of course) and they'd get mad.
    Eventually, I bought some more mesh and my mom sewed the biggest hole closed for me. That was just about the time they discovered they could climb out. Can you believe I'd never had my babies climb out of a playpen or crib before this?
   Anyways, that's the story of my favorite playpen. May you rest in peace.
