PARK

It has been so nice outside lately. The temperatures are starting to warm up, but not to the point I feel like I'm boiling, the birds are out, and flowers are blooming. I know that Teagan especially has been going CRAZY inside with not much to do so I thought it was time I (wo)man-up and take the kids to the park. I had gotten a text from a friend wanting to know if I wanted to meet her since it would be nice and honestly, I was a bit scared at the idea. I've taken the kids all to the grocery, to Target, and other places here and there, but not anywhere I didn't have a cart to strap them in, but I said yes anyway.

And, I'm SO happy I said yes! The girls had a blast! Teagan and Emmersyn played and climbed up the plaything a million times and slid down the slides. They were SO good. I was slightly worried about Emmersyn though because she's a bit of a dare devil and the playground equipment is very high with an opening she could jump from at the top, but she did good. She mostly followed Teagan and Killian (my friend's son) all around and played in the mulch. We left there and they were filthy. Luckily, I timed it right, and Brennen slept most of the time in his careat/stroller which worked wonderfully.

One of my biggest fears when I found out I was pregnant so close together with the babies was if I would ever be able to take Teagan out like I had before. I didn't want her to suffer and resent her siblings and I hate relying on others to come with me to help. I like being an independent mom and doing things with or without someone.  And Monday, I proved I could do it with 3 kids all alone! YAY
