Five kids. Three stores.
That was to be the extent of our outing.
Three quick stops to pick up a few needed items and then we would be done.
Five kids. Three stores.
Store #1 Kohl's.
So much on sale. So little time. Focus. Focus. Five minutes in. Five minutes out. Quick and painless.
Again, five children.
If you have boys you may know what "corn-dogs" and "hot dogs" are...If not, just know we are not talking about food. Nope. Both require one person's knee and another person's lower half.
Apparently Kohl's brings out "dog-ers" in my children.
Store #2 Hobby Lobby
I was in need of some crafts and a few gifts for my sister. This shouldn't be as bad, thought I. I mean, it is a craft store. Kids love crafts.
And they did.
I learned to stop telling your 12 year old to act his age, because when he is bugging everyone around him, he IS acting his age.
Store #3 Deseret Book
This one should have been the easiest, right? Smallest store. A bunch of pictures of Christ, hanging on the wall. Music about Christ playing in the background. Books about Christ displayed on every shelf. Yeah, this ought to be a breeze.
Except that they have this table of building blocks to distract children so mothers can spend and spend and spend.
My kids enjoy fighting over building blocks, especially when Jesus watching them.
Three stores. Five kids.
Frazzled mom!
'Tis the Season....

Steph, Why would you bring all 5 kids shopping? That is a rookie mistake ;-)
