i've been bad.
i realized i have let almost a month go by without taking any pictures of my baby buddy. nothing. not a one. he's growing faster than a pile of dirty laundry and i've been missing the action.
what have i been doing? i'm not sure. but i know what i haven't been doing…grocery shopping! can i admit that i'm too scared to go with all 4? i have visions of myself chasing two kids around the aisles, wrangling one to keep him strapped in, then filling the rest of the cart with baby's car seat. by that time, i would only have enough room for diapers and milk (which is all we are really consuming anyway). after just thinking about all this, i get exhausted. so i call jeff and ask him to pick up diapers and milk on the way home and call it good.
he has been doing all of our costco shopping lately too. bless his tired heart. dallin asked me the other day, "why has dad been going to the store? is it because you're lazy, mom?"
hmmm…that's a tough question to answer. maybe. maybe not. 🙂
i do know that i'm no longer going to be lazy with my camera. we can live without popsicles, but we certainly can't live without pictures of this little man!

lazy? i doubt that! congrats on your beautiful boy! i know all about grocery shopping with four. keep away from it for as long as you can (or at least until school starts!). love you!
I can totally relate!!!
I totally understand! I felt that way with 3. I was worried that there was no way to have them all in the basket, and those things did happen to me. It does get easier!! I promise! I’m not just saying that. Keep up with the pictures though because we all love those!!
i think i attempted the grocery scene with all four, um, once! i quickly realized why i shouldn’t have done this and why i should NEVER do it again. after pushing AND pulling two carts around the store, we left with smiles and sweat and way more then i intended to buy…those sneaky little shoppers! you’re not lazy, you’re smart. jeff is tired too i’m sure, but it’s a different tired…he’ll survive and inturn, so will you! hang in there. and did i mention how yummy little “c” man is, adorable! (notice the time…grocery shopping and laundry tonight…i hear ya sister, i hear ya!)
Ditto, ditto. I think my shopping trips have basically slowed to nothing since 4. It doesn’t help that all of them are with me all of the time. Once school starts I imagine the grocery store won’t be so daunting and I’ll start shopping again. I know how those photo strikes work too–and I try to keep the guilt away by just keeping my camera out so I’ll use it often.
