I keep seeing this week's promo and it makes me miss living up north a little.

The Crayola Factory was nearly halfway on our trip back and forth from Maryland to LI, so we'd go there every once in a while with the boys. For me, the payday was getting to buy all the cool stuff at the Crayola store, but we loved the exhibits, too.

Glad I've got cable in the new place, we'll probably be watching the marathon.

One episode tonite is about the Crayola factory; the other episode is about ballroom dancing lessons (at least that's what my guide says).

Edited: Now another guide is saying the second episode tonite is about Leah & Joel going out with their parents. Who knows.

I loved when Joel was sitting there saying he didnt have to go potty because he had a _______... Hehe. Too Cute. I think the kids did a good job at the crayon factory. It could have been way worse!

OK - message to Kate - Life is messy! Three year olds are messier! Washable markers are, well, WASHABLE! Get a grip Woman!

This is the first episode where Kate annoyed me! Usually I can see where she's coming from but she was NEUROTIC. Holy crap. Why bring the kids to a craft factory if you're so neurotic over them getting messy? She could have at least put them in clothes that she didn't mind getting messy. They're three and it's just markers! Oh man... and in the beginning of the first episode it made no sense for Joel to get a time out for touching the window. Again, they're three and what do you expect them to do when they see little snowflake stickers on the windows and they're watching a snowfall? When my little cousins were younger we expected them to touch everything and by the time they left there were hand prints all over And shockingly they came right off of the glass and the world didn't end...

On a lighter note, the kids were too cute tonight!!! It was adorable to see how excited Leah and Joel were about getting their alone time. That's a really good idea.

I liked the episode where they spent time alone with just Leah and Joel. Leah is soooo cute. I loved the footage of the other kids playing dress up. Alexis in the duckie suit was so cute. The Crayola factory episode was OK, but Kate should relax just a bit. The best parts were when Joel was talking about not having to go to the potty. And Collin eating the clay. I liked when one of the kids was making theirs into a pizza and Jon said Collin would eat it.

I saw the episode descriptions for Mady and Cara's days. Mady's day is to go get her ears pierced and lunch with Jon and Kate. Definitely could be some screeching there. And Cara's is to go rollerblading. Next week it looks like Hannah and Aeden's days. Hers is to ride horses and his is I think to go to a farm. Collin's I believe I read has something to do with trains and Alexis with alligators and reptiles.

It was nice to see in both episodes though that there weren't a lot of helpers other than Aunt Jodie who watched the 5 while Jon and Kate spent time with Leah.

This is the first episode where Kate annoyed me! Usually I can see where she's coming from but she was NEUROTIC.

I know! I can identify with some of her neurosis, like the one about no bare feet in hotel rooms - I totally agree with that one! But tonight was just nuts! Saying it would take her all day to get marker stains out of 8 shirts! Use a little Spray n Wash! You'll be done in about five minutes! Let them be kids for cryin' out loud!

Hi GW!

Our paper has the marathon listed for Wednesday. Not sure what time during the day it starts but it listed all night.

Hi kelz!

Tuesday night shows were good. These kids are just too cute!

 

[Camster0307]

OMG - the kids are just getting cuter and cuter! And Jon & Kate are getting funnier and funnier! Loved the way they were describing Joel and his whining!

And I felt their pain about dressing the kids to go out in the snow. I dread doing it for my two - they get to dress eight! Then - "I can't hold it in anymore! I gotta pee!"

 

[Camster0307]

And, does anyone else feel sad the kids are getting so old, so fast? I miss watching them as babies!

Sorry if this was asked in other posts....why doesn't Kate drive? When they were talking about one-on-one time with the kids she said that Jon would take the boys alone but they would take the girls together since she didn't drive???

Last night I watched the new episode and also the one at the Crayola factory. Which one of the little boys was saying that he didn't have to go to the potty...but he *did* have a weiner...like Daddy!

I just love those kids - all of them! So funny to see all their different personalities. I even like Kate & Jon a lot. Kate might be tough to have as a friend for me as I let my kids get really messy and I think we would freak her out a bit. People may criticize her, but I'm telling ya, my dh & I would be at each others throats if we had that many kids! I think they handle it all quite well.

I haven't seen that one yet (Fell asleep) but she definitely drives - we've seen her drive

 

[Erin1700]

We live about 20 minutes from the Crayola Factory and have been there many times. I was surprised they went and I doubt they will be back. It is VERY easy to lose a kid in there! Lots of fun and all but kind of dirty. But I agree...let them play with the markers!!

Oh, and Kate did say she didnt drive, but I too thought we had seen her drive before.

Maddy's screeching at the CF had me crazy!!!

 

[eh24fan]

I think she meant she doesn't drive far? I don't know. Maybe she has some fears of some kind. LOL

i think Aaden is the Most Adorable little Boy i have ever seen. i like how Kate says he just Studies things! sooo cute!
