Grocery outlet

The first night of VBS J had no problems with his big brothers getting to go to church while he stayed home, but last night was a different story. He cried and cried as we drove away from church. He said he didn't want to go home he wanted to go to Grocery outlet, so we drove over there and walked through the store with him. LOL, it was one of the most pleasant trips we've made there! The first thing he grabbed was a fudge making kit. Since it was only $1.50 and I couldn't make fudge for that little, I went ahead and bought it. The only thing that needed to be added was butter and I already had that. We also found some salad, a honeydew melon, yogurt, and mini M&M's. Needless to say J was quite pleased by the time we left.

It was interesting making a trip to the grocery store with only two little ones. It's been a long time! Dh carried S while I kept up with J. One kid for each of us! Just like it used to be when we only had M and G.

When you only have one child its pretty easy passing him back and forth between you when you go out. When you have two its not so bad either because you have one parent for each child. Then comes along number three and it takes a while to get used to handling two at a time. You can take turns handling two at a time though. Then comes along number 4 and you pretty much have two at a time ALL the time! Sometimes you even have 3 at a time when you go out as a family because one is being particularly difficult.

4 are probably easier than 3 though, since you are already used to having at least two at a time, at least half the time.

Not sure what 5 is going to be like. Not sure if we'll ever have that many or more.

It was fun going shopping with just two. When they are all behaving themselves it can be fun shopping with 4 too.
