I love Trader Joes

And it is not just for their wonderful food. It is primarily for the kid size shopping carts that they have. I will normally dread a grocery trip with either child because they would like to see just have crazy they can make mom. Normally I would walk out of a store with only a few brain cells remaining. This trip however was quiet and peaceful. Nathan wanted nothing more than to please me and put stuff into the cart (that actually belonged there). I think we are only shopping there from now on.


I also made this very sad attempt to get the two of them to work together so I could get a quick picture to print for Grandparents Day. It worked, there was some bribery involved, I see nothing wrong with a little ice cream being offered for a good deed like not choking, hitting, kicking or biting your brother. I'm sure all of the grandparents and great grandparents will appreciate my bribery.
