So once every other week, the kids and I head out to do our grocery shopping. Usually our first stop is Winco. For most this wouldn't be a blog worthy, but for our family it always is. As most of our friends know we aren't your average family, though we aren't the size of the Duggars (well known family with 20 kids) we are a large size family so any outing is always a bit of an event. I mean honestly a women with 4 kids under the age of 5 and one set of kids being twins, I get looks like I'm a traveling circus, hints the title. Above is what most people see coming through the store. A cart full of kids and groceries.
Even loading the kids into the van in itself is a bit of an adventure, maybe a short one, but and adventure still. Normally I start with loading the twins as above.
Then the next step in our loading process is Elijah and Ellie, as pictured above. All and all just to load the kids up into the car it takes approximately 10 minutes. And on our grocery trip days I do this approximately 3 times. To unload our crowd it takes about 15 minutes on average, this is done 4 times. Crazy to think huh?! So loading the kids in one grocery trip takes about 30 minutes, to unload almost an hour. Crazy thought huh.
But as a reward we get to see this view. Definitely a wonderful view after a heroic performance. Definitely worth an applaud. ( Courtesy of Elijah insisting I take a picture)
