So we went to Shopko after lunch today to pick up some $1.99 flip flops for the kids (sweet deal!!). It is always "exciting" to go to the store with all 4 kids. Grace and Elliot run around picking up everything, asking if we can get it, to which I always reply "NO". Today was really bad because I allowed them to pick out 2 pairs of flip flops each, so I guess they thought they would try their luck and ask to get everything else they saw!! So, Maggie and Naomi (in the shopping cart) were pretty much ignored in my attempts to keep tabs on Grace and Elliot. Anyway, Grace had some seriously crazy hair, a la Crazy Hair Day at school (pictures to come). I noticed a few strange looks from people in the store, which I attributed to Grace's hair and me and my barely veiled threats to Grace and Elliot to not "ask me for one more thing, or we aren't getting anything". So we pay, walk out to the car, yell at Grace and Elliot to "STAY OUT OF THE ROAD!". I go to get Maggie out of the shopping cart and SHE HAS NO SHIRT ON!! Who knows when she took it off. Needless to say, those looks began to make a bit more sense...

Hahahahaha, that is too funny!!! Last night at end of enrichment my friend and I were getting our kids from the nursery and she's exasperated and is like, "I don't know how you deal with 3!" and I said, "I don't either." Then I thought about your 4. You're totally awesome Becky. And so is Maggie.
LOL! You make me laugh! My kids used to do stuff like this all the time. Once I carried Chris in to Cub's and he was completely wrapped in a blanket , it was freezing out, by the time I got in the store I could hear people whispering and pointing at me. I contributed this to being 18 and having two children, but when I lifted him into the cart, I realized that he had taken his socks off somewhere in the car or the parking lot. We had to buy new socks at the store, which he ditched all the way through the store. He was like six months old and this was when they were telling us never put shoes on your child before they are 18 months because they won't develop arches. Parenting - it will make you laugh and make you cry :)
