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…
Found your site recently and I have been enjoying it.
My girls (9 and 7) frequently add ice cream. Since it is summer, I am surprised that didn’t make the list!
as I like to say, ‘Canby is a sometimes treat.” I guess it has to go on the list sometimes.
I have a 5 year old and the bodily function noises are always a sure laugh! Where do they learn that?
That’s a riot! Having girls, I don’t know what the car trip is like laughing about bodily functions, but I spend a lot of time mediating “She’s looking at me!” “She’s got her foot on my carseat!”
more canby!! more canby!!!!
Your boys are adorable and the list was hilarious. Okay on to more important topics. Could it be that I have found a second SB Chai Tea addict in the world? If I didn’t have kids, I might call them my reason for living.
I was thinking CAN BUY more toys, but Candy with a b..so cute…but I write that on my lists, so now i’m kinda embarassed.
Imagine actually using that list. Toy: check. Candy: check. More toy: ok, wow, I didn’t realize I needed more toys. *and* candy? Wish I’d known about this when I was in the candy aisle before. . .
Never know when you might need a little Canby
Gads, they ARE hard to stay ahead of, ain’t they? ๐
What kind of canby do they like, or are they not picky? LOL!
Wait. I want some canby too. Lots of canby…. wait… what’s canby again? ๐
One of the things I love about you is how much delight you take in these boys. I always smile.
