So yesterday i finally got sick of having the brand new pair of jeans i bought sitting on the bathroom counter and decided to go exchange them for the right size. Sent Tyler off to work and Toph and Cree off to school. I have to admit i was a little worried about taking both T.j. and Pearson into the mall myself especially since there wouldn't be time to play on the toy! I brought Pearsons stroller and T.j. walked(which i was also worried about because he doesn't walk for really long times yet!) We made it to vanity with no problem got the pants exchanged and made it back out to the car. Other than the fact that it was only 3 degrees outside we did awesome i was so proud of myself, we even went into target ( they didn't have the baby magic lotion i love i will be so mad if they stop carrying it) and both kids did just fine!!
So i have been needing a new nursing bra and i really don't want a new walmart one since they don't hold up very well. They worked fine for the other kids but the other kids all switched to a bottle after a couple of months and i don't think Pearson will because he HATES bottles. Well i was so proud of myself yesterday for going to the mall with the kids i thought i would try again. Of course we didn't get nearly as early of a start since T.j. had gymnastics at 10 but i thought that if i could do it with 2 i could definately do it with three because Creedance is usually such a big helper. Wow was i in over my head.
We head into sears since it is the closest one to the store i'm going to. I have cree on one side t.j. on the other and Pearson in the stroller. Before i had even walked ten steps i lost both t.j. and creedance to the fitness equipment. After prying them off of there we continued ten more steps and the both started begging for more thermal pj's, i said we would see on the way out. We made it to the store without any more miss hap. As soon as we stepped in though cree had to go to the bathroom. Good thing they had one in the store!!!! I quickly looked at bras and of course the didn't have my size in the color i wanted but i found two that were a different color anyway. While looking the kids found things to play with then proceeded to make pearson scream while pulling him out they both started climbing under tables, of course while trying to check out the lady proceeded to ask me one billion questions while i'm trying to get the kids out from under the table and talk to tyler on the phone. ( we will now own two more windows that we have no where to put.) I finally get off the phone with tyler and get the kids out of the store. We have to stop to put Pearson back in his snowsuit( the sales lady decided he was to hot while he was in the store and cree tried to get him out, thus the screaming) While putting Pearson back in his carseat with him screaming even more the kids started running around and pushing buttons on a pop machine. I told them not to and they did it again.
So i start to leave, Creedance jumps in front of the stroller with Pearson screaming in it insisting she needs to get her coat right then she falls on her knees and is proceeding to try to dump Pearson out. I tell her to wait until we get to the door on the way out so i can get pearson calmed down she then starts pouting. On the way out they see the thermals again since they are on sale and they really do need them with how cold it has been i pick out a pair for each of them, while they run back to the excercise equipment. Ugh!!!!!! I pull them out and try to check out. Pearson starts screaming again and while i'm turned around trying to pay and listening to sales lady go on T.j. proceeds to climb on the tread mill and start it. It of course throws him off and a different sales lady comes running while giving me a dirty look and telling t.j. to get off. Well t.j. wasn't hurt but he started screaming at the top of his lungs that that lady is Mean!!! I finally get everyone out of the store and into the car! While pulling out the parking lot we almost get hit, i'm not sure were the car came from because when i looked two seconds before it wasn't there but i was lucky it was going slow and i got out of the way. Both kids started screaming again when they figured out we were headed home and not to walmart to buy their cousin a gift, because there is no way i was going into another store especially in to a toy aisle after that adventure!!!

OOh lady-- that sounds tough-- I've been shopping with Porter-- ooh maybe 3 times total-- you are brave!
WOW!!! What a day! I have been there- I understand so completly.. Way to go the first day though!!
I have to laugh because that is soooo typical of any shopping excursion I ever go on with more than two kids. Still, it seems we have to do it every once in a while to remind us why we don't do it:) Glad you found me!
PS I didn't even know you had another baby. I love the name Pearson and he is super cute!
