I brought my kids to Sobey's and lived to tell the tale...





If you read my post from a couple of days ago,
You know how I feel about shopping with my kids..
Some of you expressed sympathy
laughed uncontrollably at me....
while thinking "that would NEVER happen to me...
(You obviously haven't had kids yet...)
To you all I have to say is ...
MUAH HA HA HA..your day will come...
(Except for Sienna  bless her heart who completly understood...)

Well today, I brought my little princess for her first ever swim lesson,
and she ROCKED...
Where the other little ones were crying and hanging on to mommy/daddy
for dear life, 
My little girl was diving in on her first try...swimming laps around the pool...
(OK...so I'm exagerating...but she sure wasn't scared of the water...
and she had a blast..)
Grandma watched big brother on the pool side, 
and took pictures, Hopefully avoiding me in my swim suit...
Mostly because I threatened her with permanent babysitting duty if I 
saw any pics of me online.. (kidding..)
We took the little ones to McDonalds afterwards for lunch..
They had fun till Jeremy got stuck in the big toy
and Grandpa had to climb up and rescue him...
Where is a video camera when you need one..
I would have loved a picture of Grandpa with his feet sticking out of the kiddy slide!


Afterwards Judy wanted to check out Sobey's dollar days...
WITH MY KIDS...WITH A KIDDIE CART
after I just sworn two days before I would never do again...
and what do you think they did?
THEY BEHAVED!
Thanks kids...make a liar out of me..

Right now my son is outside with my hubby and my FIL doing "Man stuff..." as he put it...
Someone vandalized our gate to the back alley..
It was on its last leg anyways, 
so Jeremy and Daddy headed out to the "man store" aka Home Depot
to pick up drill bits, and some wood.
then to work...
Daddy's little shadow "helped" by measuring everything in site...
stepping on Daddy's foot when needed 

and shining the flashlight ...all over...
He was quite proud of the fact that mommy and Gracie
weren't helping cause it was only for the men....

His next goal after helping daddy and grandpa with the gate..
is to build a car.......

Meanwhile...Gracie helped mommy, by trying to pick up 
ladybugs and squash them...but I didn't think you really wanted a picture of that...
So I leave you with one last picture of our future carpenter...

I took my animal to the store today, because I had to and I was reminded once again... She had 4 bags of chips running down the isle and fell onto them! NEVER AGAIN. Your a great photographer.

Adorable! Gramma also knows that he thought he should sit in the front seat of the car with no car seat to go shopping at the 'manstore'!
