I rarely take the girls to the mall. It's just such a pain to maneuver a double stroller even through the mall entrance, let alone any of the stores aisles. But now that the girls are pretty much no longer napping, I'm finding it increasingly necessary to get out of the house more than usual. I mean, we were pretty much getting out most days anyway, if even just for a walk outside or to play in the yard, but we'd only go somewhere in the car maybe 3 out of the 5 weekdays. I could actually still live with that, as long as we could still get outside on a walk or go to the park or whatever, but now that it's fall the weather doesn't always permit that. So yesterday we did the indoor playground and today (even though it was sunny) I figured the mall would be a good change of scenery, plus I needed to exchange some things anyway. The girls really had fun playing at the play area and we got some really cute things for fall. Them falling asleep on the way home pretty much ruined any chance of me getting a decent nap out of them, but then again, I'm getting pretty used to that.
It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week: A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids? I am very blessed to be a SAHM. Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00. Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc. Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00. We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.). If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

My twins are still napping (thank God). I shudder to think about what I will do with them once they are not. It will be a very loooooong day!
When the weather gets cooler, I'm thinking about taking the girls to the mall to "practice" walking without a stroller. It makes me nervous to think about it, but I figure that will be a pretty safe environment in case one "escapes" my grasp! :)
