We have been a bit scared to take the girls out on any trips. Just the logistics of packing up everything was a little overwhelming. We decided to make a run at it tonight and packed up for Costco. I first had to figure out the stroller. That was an hour to figure out how both car seats went in. We then had to feed both, change both diapers pack them in their warm clothes, hats, blankets, binkys, etc. The dog then realised that we were leaving and decided he wanted to go. After about 90 minutes of preparation we were on the road. At Costco we then had to set up the stroller, keep the dog from jumping out of the car and get the girls loaded into the stroller. Since I have been up since 5am I was now ready to be done and we were not even in the building yet. As if it was any surprise to anyone, Andrea got to push the stroller and I had to push the cart. It was at about this point that we realised that we did not bring the diaper bag so we were hoping there would not be a blow out. We would have had to buy a box of 200 diapers for one. We finished the shopping and headed back to the car where we had to go through it all again. Remove the car seats, collapse the stroller, yell at the dog for jumping out of the car, get the dog back in the car, load all the boxes into the trunk, load the girls in the car and back to the homestead. Once we were home we had to get both girls, dog and food into the house. We then had to get everything put away and Reagan decided she had to be fed. It was an ordeal but we got through it.
