Okay, you're really going to make fun of me!

As some of you know, I tend to be a bit of a "home body". So, today was the first time I have ever gone shopping with both girls alone! I have been putting it off because I have been really nervous. Plus Dan gets home at 3:30, so we usually just all go together or I go by myself after the girls are asleep. So I decided it was finally time today. We went to the local supermarket and I was very surprised at how smoothly things went. The girls had a blast sitting next to each other in the "car" cart with a double steering wheel. Usually we have Eliška in the "car" cart and Emma in the front of the basket. They tore through my purse, which was a big treat for them. They took out all my credit cards, sunglasses, chapstick, keys, and cellphone (which Emma drooled on & now doesn't seem to work!). It created an hour of entertainment for them both. There were no tantrums, no crying, and no begging to buy a toy or a candy. I think I will definitely be going out more with them, now that I've tested the waters! I will post new pictures soon, we have been busy gardening and finishing up our landscaping.

Good for you Michelley! But you know me, I am a bit of an overdoer, so with me, it is constant going out which can get old real fast. I have to motivate myself to stay home! That is a chore for me! Love you!

Congratulations! What a big day. I'm a lot like Valerie, though. I get too bored staying at home everyday, so I have to go out almost everyday to keep my sanity. This isn't always good for the checking account, but I have fun!
