Attempting to get out

Ok~so  4 am the girls wake up, not just your stirring but wide awake hi!  So I tried to get them settled again for another hour to no avail so woke up poor James and we got bottles into them and they fortunately went back to sleep again till about 7:3o or so.  Then...oh boy awake until 11 am with full force, finally after their 9 am feed and a quick shower for me I decide I'll take them outside, urgh is all I'm going to say to that.  I decided in my infinite wisdom to try to sit outside with a few toys round the back of the apartment, how hard can that be I ask myself...back breaking and stressful is the answer I come back with.  So I pack a bag put a few toys in it and load Abigail up into the carrier get Isabel on my hip and march off to the car and grab the picnic blanket, so far so good...then I get out back it's damp on the grass so I definitely need the blanket except I have two bags two children and nowhere to put anything until I get the blanket unrolled.  Em ok, well the bags I have with me are waterproof sorta so they go on the ground now I still have one arm occupied by a child and another hanging around my middle and I still have to unroll the blanket, I can say it's not easy.  Anyways I manage to unroll things get the kids on the blanket out with the toys and for about an hour everything went well.  They were quieter than they were in the apartment and a little more occupied at least.  

Then they get tired, will they go to sleep outside...no, and admittedly it was a bit chilly even in the shade and I didn't pack a blanket to cover them, BIG mistake I had packed bottles but not a blanket and it's not like I can run back indoors even tho I'm staring at my windows and leave the girls alone.  F#$@k this place, seriously, so that means I have to pack everything back up again and get us all back into the apartment...oh wait so I get the bags loaded the kids loaded then the sodding picnic blanket it still on the ground and how the hell do I get that me everything else back up to the apartment?!  So I just grabbed a corner and marched back up leaving the keys to the apartment in the pocket of the arm carrying a child, so now I have to somehow get into that pocket for the keys oh JOY, trying to juggle a child  with another in the middle ARGH!

Least if I was on the ground floor I could keep the push chair in the apartment load everything up into it wheel it out!  And not have to negotiate the sodding stairs what a concept that would be and a relief.
