I like the Sunday trips too. Two carts are chosen at the door. Daddy’s cart with the two older boys hanging from it’s sides turn toward the electronics department. My cart lightly loaded with just one child veers toward Starbucks. I order my Venti Soy Chai Tea Latte and Rhett gets his child’s soy milk. We then leisurely tour the open aisles with cups full of heaven.
It is the major shopping excursion of the week so I make a list. It is usually a long list but with an empty store and two carts it is easily managed.
This was last week’s list:
Hmmmmm…
“toy
canby
more
toy
and
more
canby”
…indicates three things.
1. Someone hijacked the list.
2. That someone may notice an increase in intensity of his currently lax summer home learning program.
3. I can no longer use the excuse “it is not on my list”.
On the way to Target the boys requested that I read the grocery list out loud. It was met with peals of laughter and shouts of “again! again!”.
I was happy because during that 20 minute period the boys were laughing hysterically at something other than bodily functions. It doesn’t get much better than that…





















I love that they made you read it so they could laugh. That’s good memories!
Add some canby to the list for me too!
this is adorable!!! brings back memories of when my kids were that young…
This is why my list is on the computer separated by different aisles ๐
So did you get canby?
wait. you make a SHOPPING LIST????
i bow to your obviously superior domestic skills, ms. cleaver. i. am. not. worthy.
Don’t you feel like sometimes you are living in a sitcom?
Sure a sit-com with plenty of bodily function jokes…but still.
Dang, and now I crave some canby too!
First off, that doesn’t look like major shopping – I remember our lists when we only had three, and… Wow! You are very efficient in the kitchen, I bet.
Wait a minute… I think I read somewhere…
Where are the WAFFLES!!
we have a chalkboard wall in the kitchen where the list grows until it’s shopping time. i shudder to think what will be added to my so-readily available list over the years.
I’m jealous – must be a super Target.
So funny #3 – shows your boys are smart!
You can buy ground beef at your Target? Is that a Texas thing?
