There are also some pits to being a twin.... like the big production that is involved with going places.
To go anywhere with them by myself, I have to have a stroller in order to transport both of them, a purse, a diaper bag, and have a free hand (without having child protective services being called on me for dragging my children around by their limbs). Not to mention the two or three trips to the car, loading and unloading two car seats, and another two or three trips from the car to the house. So, as sad as it is to say, Anna Kate and Drew haven't been part of many errand running days or shopping trips. It is just more of a hassle than it is worth at this point in life. I am sure it will get easier as they become more mobile and follow directions better.
So, at the ripe age of 18 months (and a few weeks) Drew and Anna Kate went grocery shopping for the first time yesterday with DotDot and me. They were so excited. They giggled and squealed about riding in the carts, tried to grab anything they could reach off of the shelves, and just took in all of the people. And to make a good time even better, they got "I've been Krogering" stickers to commemorate their experience. Its the simple things.....
Ready to roll
Anna Kate got a glimpse of a mound of tomatoes (one of her favorites!) and was certain she needed one. We had to pull out some distractions and keep moving.
Don't let his poker face fool you.... He was having fun.
We found a giant bunny! They squealed over that too. And said "bop, bop, bop" (as evidenced by Drew).
