grocery store fun.

Grocery shopping is a hard thing to do with three kids. I usually try to go when Jeremy is at home... but lately, I've had to venture out with all three kids. Lincoln likes to go to the Eagles Nest (a place where you can leave them while you shop)... but lately he likes to stay with me... I think it has a little something to do with the new race car carts. We had to run and pick up some things for our dinner with the missionaries yesterday so Jeremy came with us. It made the trip much easier for me! The kids all piled into the race car and I pushed my own empty cart and pretended like I wasn't with them... :) Okay, not really, but it sure was fun to just worry about the shopping for a change! We get stopped at least 5 or 6 times on a given trip because people are always asking about our kids (how old they are... how far apart they are... my personal favorite... are they all yours?)
Graham likes to chill in the basket part where he can watch the big kids being silly... they love to make him giggle!
Gracie gets bored by the end of the shopping trip most of the time... we always bring the ipod so that we can whip it out for her to avoid unnecessary attention to our full cart! (We already get lots of stares... we don't need anymore!)

Isn't it funny how we get stopped so much with kids. Personally I think it is because we have such cute kids.

The grocery store is my favorite place to be! I am not looking forward for the day its hard with kids--I am enjoying my "grocery time" with just me while I have it!

I LOVE grocery shopping. My trick is to stop at the deli and get small ice cream cones for each of them. When Maddie was just tiny I would only get her the cone part. But I usualy make it atleast most of the way through the store in peace. So much fun.
