Until…we actually got to church. Then a certain second grader’s behavior took a nosedive. Sigh. Kind of set the tone for the day.
So when daddy left to drive Katie back to collge, I decided to make my escape as well.
All the way to the grocery store. Yippee.
I left the girls with Alex and his girlfriend and drove as slowly as I could to the store.
Got to relish those moments, you know.
I was a good shopper and did not veer from my list this time. I even used coupons. Yay me!
But as I was checking out, I realized it was pouring rain. I knew it was coming. I had just hoped to beat it home.
Rats.
Loaded the van, returned the cart, and drove my wet self home.
And I got home to this……
Say what?
I kept watching and saw more….
Cheap entertainment which didn’t require any fire (which usually happens with Alex).
And it put this certain child
in a better mood.
At least until she was told to help clean up….

Your little ones are so lucky to have such a fun loving (and little girl tolerating) big brother!
And, I am totally with you on the "stretch out the grocery shopping trip as long as possible" plan. I do that myself almost every week (at least, every chance I get).
Sister, I hear ya! Whenever I get to go anywhere by myself I draaaaaaaaag it out. I have become a pro at adding at least 1/2 hour onto grocery shopping time.
Those are some creative kids. LOL!
I have to admit that I enjoy getting away to the grocery store alone sometimes. Depends on my mood. Sometimes I hate going to the store at all!
This looks like SO much fun... the stuff I use to do when I was a kid... suppose I should start doing fun stuff like this again :) You only live once...
