the idea of going out on my own with TWO kids has always seemed very daunting to me.
i certainly don't know how moms go out with more then 2.
when i see moms (like my sister) grocery shopping with 5 kids i instantly feel overwhelmed!
i can have a productive shopping trip with chet (most of the time) but i definitely prefer when matt and i double-team it.
{you will never ever hear me say i am a supermom}.
so, since holden came home, chet and i have stayed within the 500ft range of holden's monitor whenever matt is at work.
we have hung out in chet's pool, rode his bike around the parking, thrown pop-its on the sidewalk... really simple stuff.
but today i attempted my first outing alone with my 2 boys.
we walked to the grocery store just to get a free cookie (haha i probably shouldn't admit that!) and then we stopped at a park on the way home.
i didn't have any high expectations. i simply wanted to make it back home with none of us in tears. and i did it!
we will definitely be more adventurous now that i know it is possible. it felt really good to get away from our apartment.
richfield is a really cute town to walk around.
chet is in this funny phase where he loves to show off his [not so] neat tricks. it is entertaining.
he shouts, "mommy watch!"
this is an example of a really great chet trick.
