Are They All Yours?

So it finally happened. I was waiting for a passerby one of these days to ask if "they are all yours" and today was the day, as we walked back from running errands at the market with the two big kids in the double stroller, A in the Ergo, and lots of groceries. I probably looked more like a bag lady than a mom.

I was thinking that while having three kids under age five certainly isn't that unusual, it is probably (a) more unusual in the city, and (b) more eye-catching because a typical four-and-a-half-year-old around here is in school. So spotting a mom traversing the city streets at 10 o'clock on a Thursday morning with three kids in tow is a bit out of the ordinary. Then again, I have definitely seen weirder things on city sidewalks....
