day one, logged.

7.13.2012

we've embarked on a grand adventure we've accurately dubbed, Practice Parenthood.
my brother and sister-in-law needed a little break so off to Mexico they flew, leaving us with a gorgeous new house and two of the most perfect specimens on the planet to tend to.
day one:
hours of cartoons//1
child meltdowns//0
adult meltdowns//1
diapers changed//9
minor injuries//1
major injuries//0
everything about day one was perfect. except for my poor decision to take both the kids to the grocery store during the hottest/most humid part of the day. ya, that was when the adult meltdown went down. i'm pretty sure if i was a parent in arizona in the summer i would NEVER leave the house. Never.
coco trying to communicate something to marcus... 
 coco feeling frustrated that marcus doesn't understand...
 message finally received.
 Woohoo!
and levi wants a turn!
 notice the slobber, snot stains on marcus' shirt!
wish me luck, i'm sure it will get harder as the week goes on!

Going out during the day with two littles is HORRIBLE. I only do it if I'm feeling particularly super or if it's an emergency.
