Playgroup: Round 2

We had another playgroup today. It was at a base near by. They had stables with ponies to ride and a fairly big playground. We arrived at 10am and I got the kids out and they went off to play. I noticed I had forgotten the diaper bag, but thought nothing of it. Nathan had already blessed me twice this morning with poops so a third, I thought, was out of the question. So we headed to the playground and the kids played. Around 5 minutes later Nathan pooped. Awesome. So I head to the car to hopefully find a magical diaper laying in the seat. No such luck. I look under the seats hoping and praying for a misplaced diaper. Crud. I look around to see if any kids around look to be the same size as Nathan. None. Just newborns and pottied trained kids. Suddenly a light bulb goes off... PADS! Yes, dear readers, I slapped two Always pads together and voila a diaper. Or a pad diaper. Or a "Please hold together for the next hour until I can get us home and you in a real diaper" diaper. Thankfully, so very thankfully, it held together and there were no accidents or more poops. Soooooo.... after that excitement it was time to ride ponies! Jon Kent and Zoey rode ponies and Nathan watched. They had a great time. I got to talk to a few moms for a bit here and there. After the pony rides it was time to head home for lunch, naps and pad.. err.. diaper changes.
