First Day Alone




Well the time has finally come, both Grammy and Aunt Margot (Couchy) have gone back to South Carolina. Yesterday was my first day home alone with all 3 kids and it actually went pretty well. Grammy had been taking the twins to a story hour at a local library on Tuesday mornings and they really enjoyed it, so I thought we should go. And we had a nice time and were actually a few minutes early... I thought for sure we would be late! And look how cute all of them look in their Halloween shirts... yes all 3 of them!

But Grammy has also created monsters! After story hour each week she would take them to Panera for lunch. So we are getting ready to leave and Quinn turns to me and says... "Go to Paneras". These kids don't forget anything. So I thought what the heck and we went. Julia was perfect, she slept the whole time and Quinn & Grace loved getting their soup and grilled cheese. But grammy didn't warn me how messy they get with the chicken soup! They have to eat it like big kids out of the crocks with big soup spoons... which meant about half the soup actually made it into their mouths... most of it was on them. Oh well, they had fun and that is all that matters.

I was telling Dan that you took the kids out on your first day and even he was saying "How does she do it?" I think it would take me weeks to work up that confidence. They look so cute in thier Halloween outfits!!I love Grace's hairbows too. You are doing fantastic at this blogging thing. I think you have posted more in a week than I have all month.
