Now I'm actually looking forward to when we need to go again just so that I could take a picture of them. :) But it wasn't going to be like what you did.

With the long hours Boe works, I either have to take the kids with me all the time, or go late at night. Reed like to sample the produce while I shop. This would totally solve that problem.

I have to tell you, I LOVE IT! I only have 2 kids, but even then it would be helpful to have one cart for groceries and one for the whining child whose "legs hurt too bad to walk anymore!" Hope you don't mind that a stranger checked out your cute blog!

I'm just full of useless information and I'm kind of a spelling freak. I love pressing spell check and it says, "No misspellings."

Instead, they would run up and down the isles, slide into other shoppers and knock over the stacks of cans on the end! If someone said "Hey mame" I took off running! It usually meant that one of the boys had done something he was not supposed to do!!! Oh and by the way, they will so NOT remember this the same way that you do.
