I know many of you take your kids with you everywhere. I try to most of the time but I have to admit I enjoy a little time to myself. Well, yesterday I decided to be brave and take both kids with me to my monthly OB appt. This appt was just the typical pee in the cup, step on the scale, and listen to the heartbeat appt, so I wasn't too worried about how long we'd be there. And I have to say they did pretty good. They were actually "shushing" me in the waiting room as I was trying to talk to a friend across the room. We got called back fairly quickly and went to our room to wait for the Dr. L and L investigated the room and were really interested in the stirrups at the foot of the table. We read a few magazines and then the Dr was there. They liked hearing the heartbeat and Landon asked the Dr if he was going to take "Leroy" out. Umm, not today!
After the Dr appt, the three of us headed to LR to the mall. I needed a dress for this weekend and I figured I might as well take them with me. We ate lunch at Chik-fil-A (is there anywhere else?) and made our stop at the bribery station (AKA the cookie shop). After I spent an arm and a leg on cookies we hobbled down to Motherhood. I think I tried on every dress in the store and finally settled on two that I liked. Checking out took forever, but we finally were on our way home. I managed to keep them awake on the way home by passing every care between LR and home. L and L kept saying "Pass the [insert color here] car Mommy! GO GO GO! Yea Mommy, you did it."
We were home by naptime and the kiddos slept for 2 hours...it was a wonderful day! Maybe I'll try this bravery thing again.

A doctor's appointment and the mall...that's not brave, that's CRAZY! Way to go Lanie and Landon!
You go girl. It was good to take them to dr. with you. Now they'll know what to expect in the delivery room!!!
BTW, remind me to tell you a funny story about the place the picture was taken.
