Shopping

Shopping with kids adds a whole different dimension to motherhood. I use to love to shop. I still enjoy it, however it is a bit more of a challenge with two in tow. I have never let having kids stop me from doing what I want or need to do to. I just wait a little longer before I have to shop and make ALL of my stops at one time. Some of you know what I am talking about.

After I dropped Noah off at pre-school today, Camden and I went shopping. I have started shopping for a bed and bedding for Camden's big boy room. I thought I had found the right bed today, however, after talking to Brian tonight I am more confused than ever. Children's bedding... you've got to be kidding! There are a thousand different options to choose from. I had wanted to get something that he could use until he was 10 or 11, but then I look at all the cute toddler bedding! My head is spinning!!!

On a postivie note... I ordered Camden's 2nd birthday cake today. It is so cute. I had no problem picking out which cake would be perfect for Camden. It is a 3-D truck cake. He LOVES TRUCKS!!! I can't wait to post pictures after the party.


I am going to venture out shopping tomorrow with both kids. I know am temporarily insane! Wish me luck.

I also love to shop, but since I have kids, things have changed. I find myself making huge lists and then going to various stores when they are on my way to a particular place. The good news is, I am saving money--things don't seem so crucial to get when you have to load/unload four kids in the car to go a particular item.

The sux about the camera. I'm with you on taking the kiddos with ya on your shopping gigs. I had a major "take stuff back for refunds" day today. Luke went to all of them with me, Kohl's, Kirklands, Lane Bryant and Home Depot.
