Is It Me?

Finishing up with the groceries is always a blessing. I can't think of a better Amazing Race for a momma with littles. I sprinted toward the finish line-automatic doors when Nathan decided to try his hand at the liquid refreshment video games. Punching on those machines, hoping to win. I left the cart and made a move toward him to gather him up and scoot out the door. I heard Tims behind me squawking. I turned and saw that I had left the cart right in the doorway and the doors were opening and closing on the cart my youngest was sitting in. Doh. The staring from others was unnerving but I laughed all the way to the van. The look on Timmer's face? Priceless.

Oh that is hilarious! Sounds like something I would do.

When we go grocery shopping my hubby and I sometimes go together. We divide up the three kids between us and then split up and communicte via cell phones until we have our list completed! I feel like I have to go down the middle of the aisle(and make everyone mad) in order to keep the boys from pulling down everything within reach.

Divide and Conquer. That works too!!
