So, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself…

And I nearly lost my drawers. Read on…

So Friday morning, I decide to venture out on my own with all 3 kids. Plus, the bug guy needed us gone for 5-6 hours:)

On my agenda: Target, the mall play place, and fast food. My pride took it’s fall at the very beginning, and we never made it to the mall…

I thought I was “all that” with Lucy in her car seat in one hand, a carmel macchiato in the other - what a trendy little mom - ehh? THEN, to make me even cooler, creative, and oh-so-protective of my flock — I had Joel grab one back pocket of my jeans, and Livi grab the other. The purpose was to safely guide my precious cargo through the wiles of the Target parking lot. I was feeling pretty grand and self-important as we neared the curb.

Pride comes before a fall they say… My sweet and clumsy Livi took the curb like the graceful swan she is, and nearly pulled my pants down! With carrier and babe on one arm and latte in the other, my preventative resources were consumed.

FORTUNATELY, I was wearing some of my long maternity shirts, and nothing was revealed. However, nothing had to be revealed in order for the average onlooker to know what had happened. Though I didn’t completely lose my drawers, I did lose some pride that sunny Friday morning…

Our fast food lunch was fairly successful, if one discounts the cup of soda that Livi knocked to the floor before she even got a sip:) I got a picture of our meal time…
