This happened yesterday!

Well, I did it!! I've never used one of these monster carts at Walmart, but I finally did it yesterday! It wasn't too bad and it was actually easier to steer than the ones at HEB. The ones at HEB look "cooler", but turning a corner in that thing makes you feel like you have never pushed a cart in your life.

The trip wasn't that bad and it helped that Finn slept most of the time, which made me a little more at ease. And I actually let the kids "help" by getting out of the basket and getting items for me. The only wrong item I ended up with were some pretzels Jase put in the basket for me. I asked for some regular pretzels and he picked up Rold Gold cheddar flavor. They are pretty tasty, but probably wouldn't taste that great dipped in almond bark! ;-)

It Never Fails & Ally's Jam Session

I took the kids to Walmart this afternoon and had a few realizations while in there.

• We ALWAYS have to visit the restroom and sometimes twice in one trip.  I make sure Ally's diaper is dry and both Jase and I have went to the restroom at home before we leave.  And 9 times out of 10 Jase has a bowel movement while there!  Can anyone else relate??
• I cannot go in there and get what is just on my list.
• I spend over $100 nearly every time!

This morning while we were upstairs playing, Ally found Jase's drums and helped herself to a little jam session.  She is absolutely in love with our Veggie Tales "The Little Drummer Boy" DVD.  She enjoys watching the story play out and the end is her very favorite, where the drummer boy plays and sings for baby Jesus.  If you listen to the little asparagus boy on the show, she sounds just like him.  It is the sweetest thing.  I was able to capture her singing the song (with my assistance) while on the drums . . . how fitting!
