Saturday by the Numbers

200 pieces of candy put into Clark's hat at the Johnston Green Days Parade. Apparently, if you are the only kid on the sunny side of the road you get lots of extra treats! Ethan loved it!7 outfits worn between the 2 boys (Caden strikes again)!

4 miles run by Clark while Ethan, Caden and I made

1 trip to the grocery store:


8, only 8 items on my shopping list!


6 grapes eaten by Ethan in the back of the grocery cart (I couldn't see him over the baby car seat) before a HyVee employee informed me my son was eating the grapes.


1 screaming baby in the baby car seat.


1 Momma holding 1 screaming baby and pushing 1 grocery cart.


1 man's grocery cart crashed into by the above mentioned momma and her grocery cart.


1 of his 3 gallons of milk fell off the bottom of his cart, I was so embrassed by the whole situation I didn't even tell him he had lost his milk (I now feel guilty).

1 two year old boy that couldn't take the baby crying started screaming/crying himself while we looked at Father's Day Cards.

0 is the number of Father's Day cards Clark will receive tomorrow because really you can't pick out a good card while holding a screaming baby, and pushing a shopping cart with a screaming toddler.

20 people I passed as I tried to get to the checkout as fast as possible that gave me either looks of disgust, amusement, or pity!

1 very stupid comment made by the cashier, "wow your kids sure aren't happy." Thank you sir for pointing out the obvious.

0 is the number of grocery store trips I have planned with both kids in the near future!

1 calm Clark at home and 1 buy-1-get-1 free milkshake at Sonic makes the lovely grocery store experience seem almost funny. ALMOST.


1,000 kisses given to this little cutie! Look at him pucker up!


All in all, a fun day!

I would say you are going to sleep good after a day like this, but I doubt that is true with a new baby. So I will just offer my sincerest condolences to your pride falling by the wayside--you are super mom for coming out of that and finding a way to laugh about it.
