TARGET!!

It is Spring Break, and we are having a ball! I love being home with the babies during the day. Although, I am not sure I could be a full time stay at home Mama, I do enjoy my breaks with the babies. Today was a momentous occasion. I decided this morning that I would take the babies on their first outing with just me! I needed some bread, cereal, and detergent, so the logical place to go would be Walmart, right? But remember, I hate them. They might have needed to see the babies' birth certificates to prove they were mine before they let me leave with them. So, I decided our first trip would be to TARGET!! Woo hoo!!! Since I only needed a few things, I knew we could probably survive if there was any type of meltdown. Well, guess what? They were PERFECT ANGELS!!!! Not even a grunt. Of course, they stared a hole through my head the entire time we were in the store, but that is OK. This is the typical behavior when they are in the Snap and Go stroller. It was so much fun! I strolled and looked at stuff that I didn't need at all. That's what everyone does at Target, don't they? It was going so well that I decided we would walk down to the "new" Bed Bath and Beyond. I know that store has been open for months, but I had never been in there. Their AC was broken, so that was a VERY quick stroll. Next, I decided to get wild and crazy and go to Hobby Lobby! Still perfect babies!!! I know y'all are expecting it to fall apart at some point or for some employee to tick me off, but it didn't happen. Just a good, happy day! We got lots of "Oh, how cute!" and "Look! Twins!". It was kinda fun! I have never been able to enjoy that kind of thing before because they don't really say that much at the Pediatric Clinic... the only place they have ever been until today. We did get one person that asked, "Are they identical?" OK. Poor person. She is not the only person that has ever asked this question. First of all, see that little boy back there in the blue shirt and too handsome blue jeans and cutie up front with the pink toile pants on?? That means one is a boy and one is a girl. I am pretty sure that according to most definitions of the word identical just this fact alone would completely eliminate my two from falling into the identical category. But, just in case the blue/pink.. boy/girl thing wasn't enough proof, they don't look identical. So, no, they aren't identical. Did I actually say this to the person? Nah.. I let her off the hook. I just usually smile and say, "No, one is a boy and one is a girl." Then, I just hope that with that response later on in the day a little light bulb goes off for the asker of the identical question. I am almost glad she asked, though, because it gives me a funny memory for the day! What will tomorrow bring? So much for my plan to clean out closets this week. I have earned my "Shopping with Twins" badge, so now nothing can stop me!


Proof that I really did take them! Yes, I did take a picture in the Target parking lot, and yes, I did park that far away. I needed room to unload the stroller without worrying about taking out someone else's car door.


Tired from our shopping trip!
