Writing about all the big & little things

Thankful Week (Tuesday)

3. I am thankful for shopping carts that fit both kids.

I admit that I scoffed at those silly shopping carts before I had two kids.  You know the carts: the ones with a giant race car on the front with a steering wheel and everything.  Or at target they have two huge bucket seats attached to the front.  I said to myself, “My goodness, why do you need to cart around your kids in that?  Can’t they walk?”

And then on days like today I laughed at my ridiculousness as I grabbed a red race car cart to make my way through the grocery store.  And boy, was I ever thankful for that cart.  It was crazy busy.  And I was on  my last fuze–after making our way through Target and missing lunch and then discovering JD had leaked out of his diaper and I didn’t bring a change of clothes.  So, as I walked through the store (with one child missing pants!) I smiled at the joy of having them contained.  🙂

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life.

    I too am thankful for big carts as I often need space for at least 3-4! It makes shopping much easier!

    Well, one way that you have it easier than we did, although I was very blessed with kids who behaved in the stores. Most of the time. And I often just waited until evening and went shopping alone while you guys were home with Dad.
