Mr. Mom......

Well, today was daddy's first adventure at the grocery store with both (yes, BOTH) kids. Of course, daddy played it off like it was no big deal (altogether he was internally freaking out) because if mommy knew that daddy felt iffy, she never would allow it. And daddy's ego would NOT have that!

So there we are at the store....just daddy, Chunk and Monkey. We got the rice. One down, one to go. We're looking at the nacho chips. Monkey is practicing her ballet moves in her metallic purple high-heeled flip flops (that mommy LOVES for her to wear out of the house), when CRASH! Down she goes, right on her tiny-hiny and immediately screams bloody murder. So I scoop her up and try to get her to quit calling attention to the inept father.....i mean quit crying. I look over at Chunk and he's laughing!! At 8-months old, he's laughing at his sister in pain!!

Well, anyway, we got the rice, we got the chips, we paid and headed out the door. And daddy survived his very first trip WITH both kids and WITHOUT the mommy safety-net.

Of course, before we left, we did trip and fall on the big carpet at the front of the store.......needless to say, we will not be wearing the metallic purple high-heeled flip flops out of the house anymore.
