My boys are so precious. Kohen is 6 and Briggs is 17 months. Today when I went to pick my kids up after work, Landin Claire informed me real quick that she was going with Mimmy. No matter how much I tried to reason with her, she was "going with her Mimmy". So that left me and my boys. But unfortunately for them, we had to go and get groceries. Kohen did his normal protesting... "Mommy, I don't want to go shopping!" (Insert the whining and tears). One thing I have tried to teach my kids since they were babies is to communicate. They have to talk to each other when they get mad, and they have to fix their problems. I have to help them along the way, but they do a really good job. So my response to the whining and tears was, "Kohen, you are six years old. You need to talk when you don't like what I say, not cry. Talk to me". He said, " I don't want to go to get groceries". I said, "To tell you the truth... I don't want to go get groceries either, but I know a little boy who is going to want to take fruit salad for snack on Monday and I am not going to have any fruit to put in it". He smiled. "I also know a little boy who likes grapes and I don't have any of those either". He smiled, laughed and said "That's me". So we made our trip to the only place that is reasonable to shop... Aldi!
The food there is awesome and the prices are close to half of WalMart. We love it.
So we loaded everything in the van and Kohen got to do what he loves... put the cart up. At Aldi, you have to put a quarter in a slot to get a buggy and when you bring it back, you put a key in the back and your quarter pops out.
After all that we topped our night off with ice cream.
