Have I ever mentioned that being a mom is exhausting!? Especially with two little ones. Case in point: yesterday around 3:30 I decided we needed some sun and activity. The kids had already been to the park with the nanny in the morning. So I decided to take them for a walk. I put their harnesses on and off we went - no wagon, no stroller, no food or water. (Foreshadowing?) I decided to take a short walk around the block.
The kids love rocks so they stopped at every house with rocks in the yard to play with them. Who knew so many houses have rocks?! It took us about 30 minutes to get halfway around the block!
After rocks, we were checking out flowers. They love them but they pick them. So we had to move on.
Veronica decided she wanted to be carried so I carried her, grabbed Jackson's hand and we walked a little faster for a few houses. Then Jackson wanted to be carried too. I tried that for a few houses but my poor arms couldn't handle it! Both were getting crabby...
I told them we needed to keep walking so we could go home and have some crackers and juice. That kept all of us going until we finally got home!
When we came in, they drank juice and ate goldfish crackers on the couch, totally still and contented while watching Signing Times. They were still hungry enough after that to eat a big dinner. :-)
Whew! I'm tired remembering it... Am I too old for this?
We're having fun, though. :-)

lordy, i hear you. i don't have much success w/the harnesses. i rarely go out with them alone anymore in places they'd get down. it's just not fun for anyone. i recently read that it becomes safe to take twins to a park without a fence at about 4 years old. sob.
ReplyDeleteGood workout for MOmmy! Sounds like fun and you wear them out at the same time....of course, you wear yourself out too. :( And all had a good night sleep lol
