I did it! I took both kids out for the afternoon by myself. I managed to get both of them dressed, undress one and change a diaper I had just put on him, dress them again, pack diaper bags, get them both in the car, unload them both and feed the one who decided that he had to eat NOW, get them loaded up again, and then hit the town. It was a big day for us. By the time we finally backed out of the driveway, we were only 30 minutes away from nap time, but we weren't in the house! We have taken both kids out several times, but always with Rob or my parents help. Today, it was just me.
Now while the kids looked clean and fresh and put together, the same cannot be said about me. Please don't anybody nominate me to be on "What Not to Wear." I will get better, I promise. But then again, I might get a free trip to NYC, a makeover, and $5000 to spend on a new wardrobe. Now that I think about it, nominate away. I promise to look just as frumpy as I do now until I get on that show.

You are hilarious! I SO can relate to the pride you probably felt in completing the task of getting two dressed and out.
Lauren, dear, I couldn't be prouder of you. And thanks for bringing the kids by the office so I could show them off! You looked adorable, all sunny in happy in your yellow shirt that matched Bennett's. I'm very sorry to tell you, you're far too beautiful and classy for What Not To Wear to come knockin'. You'd do much better as the host.
Congrats Lauren! That is indeed an incredible feeling! Way to go! Now get out there and do it again tomorrow! :)
You rock!!!! Much braver than I!!!!
Well said Rob! Now Lauren, the real challenge will come when Bennett starts potty training. You won't believe that you can stop 6 times on a 5 mile venture....
You did NOT look frumpy at ALL yesterday! In fact, I really wanted to say to you, "How in the world do you look so wonderful so soon after having a baby???" You looked just wonderful. You were not wearing a stained t-shirt with spit-up on the shoulder and sweat pants, your hair looked washed and cute and not gross and in a pony-tail so you are already doing WAY better than I ever did the first month after I had a baby.
And of course, the kids are just darling.
