a day like painted... like ordered and paid for dearly... but it was completely free. but not in vain... here are the most important rules we learned today. today, on our FIRST EVER day outside. when the kiddos saw the TRUE light of the world for the first time. with no glass inbetween... ready? here we go:
#1: real men - like benjamin - do not take jackets!
#2: yes, they _ALL_ turn their head to look at us!
#3: after passing large crowds (crowd counts women as two and women above 45 as four!) the kids are to be counted, lest one goes "missing"!
#4: 30 seconds of direct sunlight on unprotected skin do not necessarily pose a life threat or cause lasting physical damage.
#5: neither do 40 seconds.
#6: every bend in the path causes the sun's angle to shift.
#7: even transversal forces in formula-1-range (i can assess that!) fail to agitate a newborn, or even wake them up!
#8: all street lights passed under are to be checked for sitting birds. (no, we were smart BEFORE disaster struck!)
#9: the search for a safe passage way can look like a lap of honor; we almost got standing ovations.
#10: the wheel is lacking the sporty 3 spokes!

summarizing: driving is cool! tomorrow we go again, this time with EVERYONE on board! YES, the chief traffic officer, erm chief doctor has written collin fit 4 traffic, as well!

and if no-one ties me down, i will push the stroller all the way home, one day... :)

PS: we can be visited in the park from here on out: 3 maple lane... :)
