We went to Smith's Food King and had a tour of the grocery store.
It helps to know people in small places. Although when you have as many kids as I do....I'm sure most people thought that it was just another school tour. ha ha ha
My mom works at Smith's. She happens to do these tours with elementary classes when she's not making signs, hiring baggers and randomly drug testing people. I don't know why we haven't done this before....but it was well worth the wait.
The kids loved it. and LUCKILY for me...they were all well behaved.
Unlike the time this week when we checked off another item on our bucket list to get the big boys library cards. At one point, both little boys removed their shoes and socks and began jumping back and forth on the padded furniture in the corner of the kids area. When I went to retrieve them and put said socks and shoes back on....the one I wasn't holding (Nate) went running barefoot screaming and laughing up and down the aisles.
(sigh) keeps me on my toes those 2.
Here are some pictures of our day. I felt like we needed to balance it out. So I took 3 sets of twins with me instead of my normal 2 sets and Syd. Piece of cake :)
