Adventures in grocery shopping

So it's been about a hundred degrees outside here and me and the kids are getting tired of looking at each other and playing inside all day (and I'm too nervous to venture out and fight the crowds of moms and kids at the indoor attractions by myself). So, I decided I was going to be brave and try to take both kids to the grocery store by myself.

Sure I know this sounds like an every day occurrence for some families but for ours it has a twist of difficulty. Ainsley just started sitting up and us a champ so I figured we could just get a double seat cart (which Schnucks has thankfully). But that isn't the difficult part. Getting from the car to the store is. See finn is walking but not great yet and not totally on his own through parking lots. So somehow I maneuvered both kids out of the car and into the store without any melt downs in the parking lot and no seizures from this awful heat.

We not only found a cart with a cool car (which had to be designed by a mom bc it had seat belts and a closed floor so the kids feet wouldn't get caught under the cart if I was going too fast). But we found a double seat/double car. It was my dream. This way if finn had a seizure I could just put him in the cart part next to Ainsley. I was almost worry free. And finn loved "driving". Ainsley sat smiling at everyone like normal. Have I mentioned that she really is the happiest baby in the entire world. I know we are so lucky!

Anywho. Enjoy the pics. And note the double seat car and basket.

Those are terrific photos at the grocery store! Finn looks like such a Safe Driver, I must say.
Good for you for braving the heat and any obstacles that might have come up!

Gotta love those carts at Schnucks! Glad to see you and your crew are doing well. Hope to see you all before too long.
