Out and about...

Nothing too exciting to most of the world but in our world yesterday was a very exciting day.  I had been thinking about making a trip out by myself for the past two weeks.  I had planned on going on Tuesday but it was raining, so Wednesday it was.  But sure enough it was threatening to ran that day too, but I had already made my mind up to go.  I started getting ready like two hours before I wanted to head out.  Then I had to think about the best place to go: park, store, mall, they all seemed to overwhelm me.  If we go to the park they could run off and I really can't leave the babies too far to really play with them, so that didn't seem like the best idea.  The mall is such a big place and chances are they are going to want to eat while we are there and I'm not even going to go into how bad of an idea that is.  So my only other option was the store, but now which one?  Obviously I went to Target, the mother ship was calling me home, it had been entirely too long since my last trip.  I really only went to buy two things.  What a joke!  I wanted to find a cart that all four or at least three of the boys could fit in and I could still have room for my stuff.  I don't think there is such a cart.  So we went with the regular cart.  One baby on top, one in the base of the cart which really only left me the very bottom to put my stuff in.  Hopefully this will prevent me from spending too much money.  The boys actually did really good, the babies slept and Landan and Carson stayed relatively close... until the very end.  This is when they started doing laps around me, the cart, and the isle we were in.  Obviously time to go and just in time I had all but filled every nook and cranny of the empty space in the cart.  I bought way more than the two items I went in for and came home with stuff I honestly didn't know I bought.  I think we had six hands buying instead of just two.  All in all it was a victory for the Morris household!  Go me!  Oh and we made it back just before the storm really let loose.

  2. I love this : )Mandy Jordan and I spent about 5 minutes brainstorming how you wrangled all of the boys while you were in the store. Glad it went well. You rock!

  3. I am so incredibly impressed! When I had my "3 under 3" (brought my twins home to a still 1 year old son), I don't think I got out of my jammies for the first year. ;) Way to go, Mama!!!

  5. I'll make you two of those kid harness things, so you can strap Landan and Carson to the cart. And GPS beacons they can wear so you always know where they are. I'm completely serious too.
