First shopping trip

So last Friday my mom and I decided we would take the girls to Babies R Us because for one I was ready to get out and two I wanted to pick up some things for the girls. Getting both girls ready was a chore! We made sure both were fed prior to leaving and by the time we changed both diapers and got them both in sweaters, hats and car seats I think we spent close to 2 1/2 hours getting them ready!!!!

For those who don't know where I live- I live about 50 miles from the store- The trip down was easy Hannah and Gracie both slept and did great! We get there and figure out how our stroller works (I have a stroller that I can attach the car seats to) get in the store and we are good. We get through the first few isles and Hannah starts the grunting so we know what she is doing!!! so we headed to that side of the store- And man oh man did she go- she had a BLOW OUT!!!! All the way up to her belly! It was a mess! After I got her changed she didn't want to go back into her car seat so she was held! And then Gracie starts crying! She didn't want a paci - took the hat off that didn't work- unbuckled her nope she wanted to be HELD!!!!! So I held her! And of course Hannah wouldn't stand for being back in her car seat, so here are Mom and I holding the girls and pushing a stroller full of items that we wanted to buy! I have to say that we didn't know how to work the stroller so it was very hard to turn we had to pick the front of it up to turn it! Come to find out the front wheels were locked!!! My brother showed me how to work it on Sunday!!!! (and he doesn't have kids yet lol)

We got checked out with Hannah going CRAZY because I put her down so I could pay and then get her ready to leave. By the time Mom and I paid both girls were crying and then getting them ready was another story! We got them both loaded in the truck and calmed down. We got on the highway only to find a HUGE backup due to a wreck. Long story short - we were stuck in traffic for over a hour and mom ended up crawling in the back to feed both of them! (And I wish I would had a camera to take her picture crawling back to them :) )

It only took me 4 days to write this entry! My life is getting busier everyday - I can't see how I will be going back to work - (If I do)

Later -
