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 have had an ongoing love affair with SuperTarget for a couple of years now. Where else can you get a Starbucks Cinammon Dolce Latte, ground beef, Zatarain’s rice mix, toys, AND canby — all in one trip?
Ahhh. Starbucks. I actually made it out to a Starbucks today. I loved this story…what smart, adorable and funny kids!
That is hilarious!
I was going to comment on your having a Starbucks in your Target until I thought about my Starbucks being in the Target parking lot – with a drive-thru. Then I felt like I was just sounding spoiled.
PS mine is a 2% Venti Iced Chai with 8 pumps. My definition of nirvana (lowercase n).
Too funny, You have to love when the kids actually work together to create an ambush for the parents. I would love a cup of coffee, do you have to start a fresh pot?
I enjoy oogling clearance endcaps at Target. I love me some red pricetag clearance items. Car coffee mug anyone?
WHO composes their grocery list in CALLIGRAPHY????
The list is a keeper. I would have totally caved and thrown some candy in the chart.
Ah, now I’ll dream of my Target having a Starbucks some day. *sigh*
Target wood? I love that…my kids think Target is just da’ bomb.
I hope you save that. Cutest thing I’ve read all day!! Have to love them for trying.
