HAVE YOU EVER?

Have you ever...............gone into a store with your two kids and the toddler is wanting out of the cart the whole time, and the baby is screaming bloody murder...(Binky not helping.) When all of a sudden you hear your car alarm going off in the parking lot...you look around to see if someone sweet..kind...and honest will watch your kids while you run out to turn it off. Then you think again, and think...my kids are much more important than caring about all of the people that are annoyed by your car! Then think...who would I trust to give my key to..and then think again. Finally you say forget about the car alarm...(it goes off all of the time.) Walking around the store feels soo great with a crying baby, so you take him out, just when your toddler climbs out and runs away............ahhhhhhh! HAVE YOU EVER?? I am sure you have, but this was my first! WHAT A JOY!! IT WILL GET BETTER, RIGHT?

Oh man! That just about takes the cake! Sorry to hear about that wonderful experience of yours! All I have recently is my dog breaking through the screen door when a boy is dropping off a flyer about his Eagle Scout project. So the boy drops the flyer on the porch and then runs away. Well, my cute guard dog chases him down and then grabs on to his shirt. UGH. Not as bad as yours, but I feel your pain. :)
Davin is absolutely adorable, btw!

I am so scared.

Oh yes - I have been there! I totally feel your pain. This was out Maceys experience on Saturday. Aiden is sleeping at first, but wakes up before we hit the meat section - screaming of course. Then you have Addison & Kileigh hitting each other - so they are screaming - then Kileigh decides she is going to play hide and seek - so is running everywhere....Needless to say we did half of the shopping and left.

I feel your pain...just haven't had the car alarm part...but yea it sure is fun going to stores with a toddler and a baby. The baby will get better but I don't think that toddler will for awhile! Hey Ireta and Ken told me to tell you that they want you to let them see your blog. Their email is iretajensen@hotmail.com. Have a great day! See you in a few days! Love you!

oh, ha ha! love those times! all i can say is it takes A LOT of work to get to a point where kids obey at the store...dont give up and stick with your "rules" you have with the kids...i dont think i will go shopping alone again once these boys come though...talk about HE**! love you!

oh I hope it gets better, I am sorry for you. I have felt like that with one, let alone two. YIKES!! Good luck.

I hear you sweetie! I'm sorry...it doesn't get better for awhile. It just gets more interesting!

The first time I attempted Walmart with my three was interesting. By the time I was done, my armpits were soaked through (sorry about the yucky image) and my heart was beating like I had ran a marathon. I did get a sling, though and it has been a life saver.

Hang in there!! :)

hate to tell you - it just gets different! The good news, eventually they get old enough that you can just leave them home ;)

Oh man, my sister goes to the store in the middle of the night when her kids are asleep and her husband is home! I think I may know why now.

I have never.. but I'm afraid now. I love the pictures in the other post of Davin. I can't believe how big he is already!
