Here We Go...

The day has come.

I am venturing out for the first time with all three of my boys. Alone.

Destination: MOPS
Weather: Sunny, 23 degrees. NOT snowing!

Team Conditions:

Mommy: Showered. Dressed. (a small miracle)
Jack: Sprinting around the sofa. Half nekked.
Max: Munching on waffles. Still in pajamas.
Lincoln: Dressed. Swinging.

And I'm blogging...I must be nuts! (Note to future self: You were nuts!)

I've got 30 minutes 'til I need to leave. I think I can do this.

Strike that. I know I can do this!

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

2 Timothy 1:7

  9. I can't wait to hear all about it! I remember venturing out with my 2 for the first time. I just sat in the car and cried.

    Cried like a baby!! Wasn't much better the second time I tried.

    I am sure you did great! MOPS is a great place to go because of the childcare! If you can just make it through the door... :)

  11. You CAN do it! I remember when it only took a couple minutes to get out the door. Now with three, it's like a twenty minute prep time just to get everyone ready!
    Have fun!

  16. Going out! Fun...but...What do you do when you go to a store without carts!? Or like the library? And the grocery store has carts, but when you put the baby (in carrier) into the back of the cart and toddler in seat, where do you put the food? Hmmm, questions of a mom with 2 under 2...I think I'll just stay home, unless Julia or my mom go with me! Hope all went well!
