Marathon Morning

I just have to write this down so I remember this day when I have a day when the world seems to be crashing down all around me and parenting my kids seems to be an insurmountable task....

I had some errands to run, so after the twins morning naps, we piled everyone into the car, and headed out. I didn't' know how this would turn out, but I was hopeful. I have to say, that my kids are the best shoppers. We went to Babies R Us, where Courtney carried the high chair box from the back of the store to the front (now, this is the high chair that sits on top of a regular seat, just in case you thought that just wouldn't work out), then we drove the mall where I had alterations done at Nordstroms, and a makeover at Macys. Now, if you know the layout of the mall, Nodstrom and Macys are on opposite sides, so the kids did a lot of walking, got to play at the playground when we were done, and had one helping of Mike&Ikes. We had no meltdowns, tantrums, etc.

Needless to say, I need to remember this....My kids were so good. I thought for sure I would have to leave Macys with only half my face done, but they were amazing! The twins looked around, Courtney ate their Cheerios, and Conner kept watch. So perfect!

As a reward, we stopped for two well deserved Happy Meals. What a morning........
