Happy Munching!

"It's not possible to bring kids out to eat." A classmate of mine from Bridgeport recently posted this quote on her own blog. Being a mom of twin girls herself, she hears this statement often. And, like myself, both of us can proudly say it is so not true. Bringing your little people out to eat is absolutely possible! Yes, it may take extensive planning and preparation but otherwise the trip is usually seamless. So, being inspired by her post, I figured I would share one of our lunch outings with all of you.

Prior to leaving I rummaged through my diaper bag to make sure all pertinent items were included. Diapers, check. Wipes, check. Disposable bags, check. And the list goes on... Hand/Face wipes, boogie wipes, binky wipes, binkies, snacks (i.e. cheerios, puffs, goldfish), applesauce, cereal bars, spoons, sippy cups, bibs, table mats. Well you get the idea. Load up my little people and then we are off.

We always enjoy having Daddy home during the afternoon. Those days are few and far between so we like to take full advantage! Today we headed to South Hills Village Mall to run just a few errands. Surprisingly, we managed to get our short list checked off and then headed to lunch. To keep things simple, we made our way over to Red Robin (much easier then loading the babies back into the van and driving to yet another destination). So here they are... goldfish is one hand, sippy cup in the other. Happy as could be!


Wouldn't be right without a few individual pictures as well. Todd snapped all of these with his blackberry, so my apologies for the poor quality.




Happy munching everyone!
