Another milestone I knew we would need to accomplish is getting out of the house successfully to go somewhere. I've been putting this off as well but when the opportunity came about for us to go eat lunch with Adam at work, I knew I needed to tackle this hurdle head on! And that's just what I did!
The preparation for our outing was completed in several steps. Now the Blanchers are large fans of The Disney Channel and we are also fans of "Special Agent Oso." So as I'm writing this the "three special steps" song is going through my head...oh the joys of young children! So...
Step one: Prepare and pack lunch
Step Two: Make Sure Mom is Ready
Step Three: Dress the Dudes
Step Four: Diaper Bag Organization
Step Five: Warm Winter Apparel on Everyone
Step Six: Locked, Loaded and Ready to Go!
We did it! Sure, it took all morning to prepare and execute but who cares? Now to perfect the process and shoot for a more early morning departure (aka, getting ready for school/work...yikes!). That will be for another day!
We had a wonderful time up at "daddy's work." We got to eat lunch with the other interns there and got to meet some of the people that Adam works with. Everyone is so nice there! Plus, we got to see his office. Thomas quickly felt very at home there...he informed us that he needed to "sit at his 'puter and do his work." Ah, a little workaholic in the making!
It was a great first outing and gave me great confidence that maybe I can handle this whole two-kid-mom thing!
Evan also had a ball, by the way. All that socializing plum wore him out!

You go girl! So exciting. I remember the first day I did that with Cooper and Jackson. I was so nervous, and it took all day to pack, but it was so worth it! IT will only get easier! : ) Love the last picture of Evan, can't wait to meet him.
