Shopping

There is a supermarket literally right outside our door. It probably takes me less then 3 minutes to walk to it! It is right outside our gate. I think it is great to have a store so close! (I often find myself going many times during the week!) I really like going to Globus with Kerry, but if I need something quick or forgot to get at Globus it is nice to be able to go next door! I have taken Adalynn a few times to the supermarket next to our apartment. The first time she just rode in her stroller and I bought her a chocolate milk as a treat...side note: did you know you can by milk here in a carton that is not refrigerated until you open it? It can sit on your shelf for months and still be good...end of side note. I found out that in this supermarket (it is rather small...like 3 aisles at Walmart put together) they have little kid shopping carts!
This afternoon after Adalynn's eventful nap (I will elaborate on a later post), I decided to take Adalynn to the supermarket and let her push the cart. She. Loved. It. I tried to help her turn the corners a few times by pulling on the end of cart, but she quickly let me know that she could do it without my help. She stopped the cart, removed my hand from the cart and said, "No, Mommy". I got the point. It was funny to see her try to turn the cart around corners. She had a blast!

Don't worry, she did end up having items in her cart like dish soap, bread, flour, and some candy!

This is me sporting my awesome shopping bag from my friend Melinda! Below you can see it all folded up and small enough to fit nicely in my purse. It opens up to be a big reusable shopping bag! It is great and I love it! I used it every time I go! It is always in my purse! Thanks, Melinda!

Blessings,
Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and Gwen
