This evening we took our first trip grocery shopping as a family of 4!! It was time - the past couple weeks we have been living off the meals our church family provided, and then take-out! I won't deny that a big part of that was due to my exhaustion and not being able to find time to cook, the other part was that Scott had been working late most nights.
Anyway, we are trying to find our groove and after today went well it seemed like a good time to try and get back to normal. Unfortunately Toby does not like the car seat much, so we try to take him out after a bottle when he's sleepy!!
Emma continues to crack us up even in the car. She babbles all the time and when Toby is crying she copies him. She's also less shy, waving at people in stores! (She waves goodbye to her TV shows too!!) Thankfully she was pretty cooperative tonight, staying in the shopping cart and "helping" by holding the shopping - the baby's car seat fills the cart!!
There's no doubt we could get it done quicker if Scott stayed home with the kids and I ran around shopping!! At a push I think I could do it by myself, but I'll always opt not to if possible. No point in making something harder than it needs to be!
It was fun for Emma to get out and about, we even let her run around the supermarket - she doesn't run fast, and she kept walking into things as she was looking at her reflection in the freezer doors!!
