We interrupt this program.....

....to bring you some breaking news! At approximately 10:00 AM this morning a very apprehensive mother was spotted taking her TWO children out of the house and into the world ALL BY HERSELF. The woman looked a little rough around the edges and hadn't managed to get much make up on but boy did her children look cute! The entourage was weighted down with an enormous diaper bag filled with snacks, diapers, a change of clothes, wipes, pacys and matchbox cars. The entourage was seen entering a local establishment that does haircuts for kids. Surprisingly, the mother was very calm and managed to get both kids into said establishment without causing any wrecks or chasing a child through the parking lot. One haircut and a VERY hairy lollipop later, the entourage emerged and again made it through the parking lot where they proceed to Sam's to buy...you guessed it-diapers!! (Exciting news day) The entourage arrived safely back home where the mother did a little happy dance and patted herself on the back for a job well done.

Now, I do realize this seems like a small accomplishment compared to say, Lori Oldknow's crew of 5 or Mrs. Day's crew of 5 or even my mom's crew of 3 but today, for me, this is my accomplishment. One more checked item that proves to me that yes-I can handle these two children and actually do ok! Now, both my children are sleeping and all is quiet....for now.

IN OTHER NEWS: MADELINE DAY IS OFFICIALLY A HUMAN BEING. The "stump" fell off and she has a pretty little "innie". Her daddy as threatened incarceration if that belly button gets pierced in the next 30 years

HeeHee...let the fun begin! Now, go try and buy a bathing suit- I vote that one of the most hard things to do with kids- it is worth the extra $ for a sitter at that point! Hooray for innies- both of my girls are borderline- innies when they wake up and it pokes out as they eat throughout the day :)
