This morning we had no food. I had put off the grocery store long enough! So, I got the kids dressed, we picked up doughnuts for the ride, and went to the store. Doughnuts (sweets in general) are a rare treat so the kids were very happy!
We are always quite the spectacle at the grocery store. I like to shop at Aldi, but the carts are pretty small. So, Avery rides up front and Ethan and Gracyn usually get buried in food in the basket. Sometimes, like today, I let Ethan ride on the back of the cart. It works and the kids don't mind.
The grocery store with all three typically goes pretty well. I keep them engaged by helping me select the food and find things. If all else fails, we can always open some graham crackers or goldfish to keep them happy. They love to help me unbury themselves and put the food on the conveyer belt. Most days I am pretty proud of their behavior!After the store, I ran home and quickly put the food away and headed to a friend's for a play date with 2 other sets of twins. Everyone had a good time. Anne graciously made us all lunch too. So, when we got home I got to put the kids straight done for nap :-)
