Sometimes, when I'm feeling brave, the girls and I venture into the neighborhood like a bunch of enthusiastic young explorers. We pound the pavement for a bit, climb the front porches of our neighbors, and if we're lucky we see an ANIMAL! After watching our neighbor walk his two-year old twin boys around the block every evening a few years ago, I thought block completion was a very reasonable goal. After numerous attempts, we may have made it once. May have. My brain is so fogged by memories of unsuccessful attempts that I'm not even sure. Needless to say, I've had to lower my standards. I'm no longer concerned with how far we go; my new goal is to make it within two houses of our own before I get stuck carrying a very awkward fifty pounds of fussy girl(s) to complete the trip.
The following photos are from earlier this month. We made it from our corner to the next, stalled in front of this house for thirty minutes or more, and then I had to haul both girls and their personal belongings back to our house for bedtime. Quite a scene! Our young neighbor mom watched the whole thing from fifteen feet away and didn't say a word... who does that?
