Out and About!

With the beautiful weather, Jody and I decided to load up the boys and "expose them to the real world."  We decided to take a walk around the Clarkesville Square and visit some of the neat shops there.  We thought about braving the outlets in Commerce, but in the end went with the less crowded and certainly less drama-filled option.  Besides, I have a hard time with unwanted, germy hand touches.  I tend to think ugly thoughts about others who touch my babies without washing their hands.  (Such as, if you touch my babies' hands again, I will literally spray you in the face with Lysol.)  See?  That's not nice.  It's no fun to have other people make you think crazy (yet, well justified) thoughts.  

So, with a perfectly sane mommy in tow, off to Clarkesville we went!  

First we went to Sweet B's and picked up a few cupcakes (which are super yummy, if you haven't been).  We actually discussed ordering the boys' one year birthday cake.  Yes.  Crazy, huh?  Now, I know the boys are only seven months old, but we've learned that if we want to get anything planned with twins, we have to start early!

Next, we walked down to a new shop called The Wishing Well.  That place is precious!  The boys did so well, and while we had several sweet people ask us about the boys, no one touched them.  Success!  The boys even helped me pick out this cute frame for one of their pictures.

I'm in love!  Perfect!

We ended our day with a side trip to Lowe's.  After putting up with Mommy's cupcakes and gift shops, they deserved a little "manly" shopping, too.  As always, the boys did great.  They were in love with the light aisle, but started to get a little restless on the air filter aisle (or maybe that was me....).  Either way, today we not only had fun, but felt like a real, independent family who actually gets out and does stuff!  

Who knows, maybe next time we'll even try a restaurant!

And cue Jody's hysterical laughter........Now!  :)
