So here's my first attempt at blogging.  Posting tons of pics and videos on Facebook seems strange to me so I thought I would create a site where I can tell my family and friends about our day without filtering what I post.  Here is how today went down.  I decided to take the kids on a walk first thing this morning.  I have to carry the girls downstairs to the garage one at a time (they are great at going up stairs, suicidal going down) and put them in the stroller.  As I was climbing the stairs the second time to grab Drake, I noticed a putrid smell.  What had happened in the 60 seconds it took me to leave the room and load Stella?

This happened.  Drake was chilling, sucking him thumb, while poop ran down his chubby legs.  And then, this happened...

As I started to clean his legs, he started running and kicking, spreading it all over his exersaucer.  Right about now, Reese and Stella start whining from downstairs in the garage.  Reese is saying "Up, up, up" which means  "Let's get this show on the road or let me out of here, Mom."  Luckily, Wes was home and not on a call so he grabbed Drake and threw him in the bathtub while I cleaned the exersaucer and got ready for our walk.  

So here's a picture of the hill I have to climb to get to the main walking trail at the top of our complex.

I'm realizing pictures don't do it justice.  It is STEEP.  And I'm pushing/pulling this...

I should be in excellent shape in about 3 weeks.  People kept stopping in their car asking if I needed help.  But we made it to the top, enjoyed a little walk and even got out in a grassy spot to chase bubbles that I had luckily stashed in the stroller.  Going back down the hill was much more enjoyable.  

Reese wanted to wear my sunglasses when we got home.  

And Stella continues to "chill" whenever she is sitting in her high chair.  How does she do that while buckled in?????

That's it for today. 

XOXO,

Jenny
