First, you pull the paper off the of "bed" and lay it on the floor so the baby can sit in a semi-clean area while you hold child #2 (Madison). Next you notice that child #2 is hiding behind the shelves, so you have to get up and get her. Then you hold her on your lap, trapping her left leg between your legs, her left arm under your left arm, while both hands hold her right arm into place. Finally, you close your eyes while the doctor stabs the needle into her arm... but not before you see child #1 (Logan) quietly open the door and run down the hall. (Child number #3 starts crying because of the loud screaming coming from child #2.)
You set child #2 down and look out the door. You then start running after the child who is halfway down the hall. (A doctor comes out of a door, sees the chase, then continues on her way.) You catch #1 and carry the 45 pound boy, who is trying very hard to get down, back into the room. You then hold down his arms and legs (in manner already described), and wince while he screams because he is receiving not one, not two, but FIVE shots (flu and 5 yr).
Oh wait, I forgot to mention that before getting the shots we had to start off with blood drawing. From child 1 and 2. Lovely.

Dang! I thought getting shots for one was bad! Just know that when I go to get Callie's 6 month shots done, I will think of you and remember how easy I have it for now!
Oh, the JOY...
I can't believe Logan escaped down the hall! You are brave mom for taking all 3. I can help watch some of your kids next time!
Wow! You did a great job! I feel like that too sometimes, even though I only have two. They seem to run in opposite directions (and you're trying to do a million other things while taking care of the kids) and the older they get the easier it is for them to get out of places, like opening doors. Anyway, good job! I think moms accomplish superhuman feats sometimes:).
Seriously?! I thought kids just stayed wherever you put them down last. What am I saying? Mine already knows how to twist his way out of the bouncer and he can't even sit up yet! You are a brave woman.
it's been a while since I read your blog...looks like you've had a lot of fun, I sure wish there were things like that here...but um, I am so glad that Jake will be with my tomorrow when we get all three their shots...it will be quite the adventure! he and I will also get shots and have to be brave...i hope ;)
Sorry but I just couldn't keep from giggling...Congrats on getting all three of them to the doc at the same time and getting it all done!
