I got this!

All alone.  Last week was my first week completely solo with the 3 kids.  AND the first two days were completely solo, as Christian was not home/out of town Monday and Tuesday.  Thankfully I survived, haha.  And also realized, I can do this!  It may not be easy some days, but hey, that would be the same whether I had 1 or 10 kids!  You kind of just figure out a new normal and make it work.  So, that's what we did and it wasn't too bad.

Monday night some bad storms came through the area - so much so that we were sent down to the basement with tornado sirens blaring.  This, of course, came right when I was feeding Gemma and had settled the boys in for a show right before bed time...the joys, I tell ya!
I love Micah showing Gemma his trains here...

And Reid deciding to join in :)

Tuesday I decided to try out a park, so we all walked to one of the parks in our neighborhood.  Micah rode his scooter, Reid was in the stroller, and I was carrying Gemma.  She was safe and sound and slept most the time we were gone.  It reminded me of how Reid lived in the Ergo when he was a baby! I think it's how I lost my baby weight so quickly with Reid - I was carrying him everywhere and we were constantly on the go!  That or I was running, pushing a double stroller, which included a baby in a carrier...which I can't do now with 3 :/  Guess I'll have to figure out another way (enter, treadmill at home!)


Boys eating a snack.

Proof that Gemma and I were there.


The way the boys ride in the single Bob - making it suitable as a double Bob, haha.

Chilling at home after a 3.5 mile walk with Momma and the boys to a new park - far, far away.
