Better Full Than Empty

We are slowly, gingerly, timidly, starting to venture out as a family of six.

We are cautious though.

See, our oldest needs two of us to help him be successful. He likes to run and sit and touch and can often be quite sneaky and fast.

Our two year old needs one of us because he’s two and so does our baby. Typically me because I have dinner.

And Sawyer can help but he often gets distracted by sticks and candy and forgets to hold hands. Because he’s only 8 and that’s what 8 year olds do.

So that leaves us drastically outnumbered. We get stretched really thin.

But not tonight. We went out for ice cream and managed waiting and a ridiculous candy aisle and the only thing that went wrong is I forgot to get ice cream for myself. I was short a hand.

A sweet lady smiled at us and said our hands were certainly full.

She wasn’t wrong.

Better full than empty I always say.
