Carson is providing me with the immeasurable opportunity to have two kids before I have two kids. I realize that having two toddlers is nothing like having a newborn and a toddler. However, some things aren't that different. For instance, loading and unloading everyone into a car or making sure all are happy once you arrive at the destination. Therefore, I am taking this little opportunity to practice being the mom of two kids. I have gone to the store before with Carson and Lila, but I usually put Carson in my Ergo carrier. That is basically the same as being held so of course she eats it up. The Ergo is no longer totally comfortable so I decided to attempt the gigantic, two-seater, "driving" cart with the girls. I am still shocked by how well it went. I'm not shocked because I thought it would be miserable. I was just very unsure of the amount of items I needed to get (a lot) in correlation with the tight quarters of the cart. I am also still shocked that three people asked me if they were twins. Really? You have a very tall, leggy, blonde with blue eyes right next to a quite petite, dark hair and dark eyes munchkin. Twins? Really? Anyway, here's the rundown:
Lila takes control while Carson looks unsure...
...Carson says "now we're talkin'. A ride and someone feeding me...I'm sold"...
...Carson takes the wheel as it seems Lila has grown tired of the situation.
I also had the great pleasure tonight of meeting two friends at Canvas and Cocktails. While it may seem a waste since two of us are pregnant, it really wasn't. I say false advertising. You have to bring your own cocktails for goodness sake. Regardless, a good time was had by all!
I am sitting in my kitchen alone at 6:15 am and laughing out loud so much that I even started crying! These pics and your captions are priceless!
