Oh What A Night...

Last night Lehr volunteered to watch the kids so I could go to a fest/concert in Midtown with "D" and Carolyn. It was a much needed 'night out' with my two best friends, and even though it was freezing outside, Cowboy Mouth put on a great show.

While the three of us were dancing on a hill in Piedmont Park to keep warm, Lehr thought it wise to take (both!) kids to dinner all by himself. Ah, grasshopper....so much to learn. Not only is that a difficult task to take on when you're alone, but with Maddux's current teeth situation, it's darn near impossible. (Last night Maddux cried/screamed through almost the entire meal at the house...just because.) He learned his lesson and he won't be attempting that again any time soon!

Before "the dinner", Lehr had the kids out in the driveway, enjoying the reprieve from the rain. Maddux was in the red car, as usual, and Eli was just running around. Apparently, Lehr turned his back to grab the camera only to find Eli, with Maddux, at the top of our driveway. Lehr was able to point and click just as Eli 'let go' of the car and Maddux came flying down the driveway. She was oh-so happy to have so much one-on-one attention from Eli; Lehr let them continue this game for quite some time. For some reason, Maddux knows exactly how to grip the steering wheel to hold on. Her smile since teething has changed a bit. Right now I think it resembles Chandler ("Friends") when he was trying to pose for his engagement photos.

Ahhh mommy's night out sounds blissful!

Your babies always bring a smile to my face. The picture of Mad Dog coming down the hill with Eli running behind her is too cute!
