Hi to all! Well it is Saturday and I got to sleep in this morning! It was great. Adam got up with the kids and let me sleep until 9:30. We all ate breakfast as a family, it was just cold cereal, but it was still nice to all sit down together. After we were done eating we all got dressed and ready for the day! After we ate lunch we went over to Algona and picked up a few things we needed. We went to Shopper's Supply first because we needed to get new knobs for the lamps we have in our living room. Carter thinks it is fun to screw them off and then we cannot find them when we want to turn the lights on. He can be such a stinker sometimes. After we left Shopper's Supply we went to K-Mart. Maddie wanted to look at backpacks for school before they got too picked over. She found one she liked and it was 25% off so that was good. Of course she chose one that is green camoflauge. I could not talk her into the pink one but I did try. I think that I will go alone to get the rest of her supplies because it is just too much with the whole family along. After K-Mart we went to get some groceries at Hy-Vee. The boys were getting tired and I knew that it was not going to be alot of fun. They decided that they wanted to ride in one of those carts that is like a police car. They are nice for the kids but you can't get alot of groceries in them. So I sanitized the cart before they got in and off we went. After the first aisle Carter was ready to get out of the cart and wanted to walk. We talked him into riding in the regular cart that I was pushing and had Maddie get in with Kinnick because he was falling asleep and could not keep from falling over. After about 2 more aisles Carter started crying that he wanted out of the cart and wanted to walk. Of course we tell him no and then he screams and people look at us as though we are beating him or something. So, I gave into him and let him out of the cart to walk. Well he does not walk he decides to run. Someone I know who works at Hy-Vee came up to me and asked if I wanted her to tell Carter that it was against the rules to run in the store and that he needed to stop it. So I told her to give it a try. You should have seen the look on his face. He was scared. But as soon as she walked away he started to run again. What a fun time! My children just turn into little monsters when we go into a store and the people just watch us in disbelief as we shop. It is now 5 pm and Adam is getting some steaks on the grill and some sweet corn boiling for supper. I should go and get some laundry in the washer before we eat. I think we might go over to the Wild Rose Casino tonight for a few hours. Should be a good time. We both need to get out of the house and do something as a couple. Talk to you all again tomorrow! Love, Stephanie and family
