I really enjoy going to the grocery store with the boys. I know this sounds crazy...busy store, crowds of people, two kids...but we almost always have a good time. Matthew helps me bag all of the produce and also prints all of the produce labels. He is always thrilled when it is his turn to press the green print button. Samuel normally just hangs out while I push the basket. Occasionally he gets upset and I put him in the sling.
I recently had the idea to take Matthew's shopping cart with us to the grocery store. I had no idea how much he would like it. I made sure it was a time when it was just the two of us because I did not think I could handle pushing Samuel in the basket and making sure Matthew wasn't getting into anything he shouldn't.
Matthew has all of the ingredients for yummy beef stroganoff.
No trip to H-E-B is complete without a fruit pouch.
Notice the cool bandaids. We swapped the gauze tape for our friends Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.
We had such fun. He followed me around. I pushed a little basket and he pushed his. We filled both of them up with ease. At one point he told me his wheels were breaking. After investigating, I concluded that all of the groceries he was carrying were to heavy for his little cart. They were causing the wheels to buckle.
Notice we are in jammies. I took Matthew after bath time and we got back home way past bed time. But all of the fun was worth not going to bed on time!
