My STBX is here for the weekend, and my dd's best friend spent last night and will be here the rest of today.
STBX wanted to take the kids out, and after getting dd's best friend's mothers permission, I tried to get 3 across in the rental (I'm not on the rental, and I have places to go, and he didn't want to take my van anyways).
Problem? It's a Mercury Mariner.
Other Problem? I have two booster riders and only two booster seats - a Parkway (YAY!) and a Monterey (uh - oh).
So with the Radian XT and those two boosters, there was NO WAY they would all fit - at all.
So I went in the house, the kids had just finished lunch, and I put ds in his boots, on the scale and he was 35.5 pounds. So I changed him from jeans into sweat pants and took his boots off and weighed him again and he was 35 pounds. YAY!
He had been up to 38 pounds, but we all had the flu a few weeks ago and he lost a lot of weight and his appetite hasn't picked up since then yet.
So it's a tight squeeze, and I showed STBX how HE will have to buckle all three in, because there is no way the girls can buckle their own boosters, and ds was NOT happy about riding backwards, and cried at the thought, but then settled in and was content when it was time to go after all of the seat stuff was figured out.
I need to get a picture when they get back! I didn't even think about it at that moment - this will truly be the last time he is RF!
