Costco....love hate

So they have two places for toddlers to sit in the shopping cart and I would be lying if I did not say that's 80% of the reason I go there. It's become shall I say easy to take my 4 kids there but have to admit to always being some kind of spectacle for everyone else. Jackson typically hangs off the shopping cart while Austin plays go fetch for me. We know we're done when everyone is carrying something and items begin to fall off the cart. The strategy is less keeping things from getting smashed(eggs, bread, etc.) and more keeping things the girls can and will eat out of reach...today it was the strawberries, before I could get to them they each had a fist full. It's always exciting to see the checker outers trying to put everything back into the cart. Today after we checked out Austin asked me if that was our "highest score ever." Now the most fun happens in the parking lot, I don't think I have ever made it to the car without having something fall to the parking lot and subsequently block traffic while I try to herd my children to the car. Now those of you who know me and what I drive will no be asking how with so many kids and so little space HOW do you get everything into the car. Simple answer, magic. That and we eat about 20% of the food on the way home.
