a first~

so sargento and i were laughing about this all day yesterday. we had gone out to do our christmas shopping or at least start it. (we have to start early because we have so many people to buy for that it would get really tough if we had to wait till november or december). anyways we were at target and were heading back to the childrens section. we had the boys with us. i know you might think we are crazy, but sometimes it is hard to find sitters so we took them with us and came up with a pretty good way to shop for them with them right there. one of us would play with the toys in the isle while the other was putting stuff in the cart. they both got to walk, which is rare for at least rewind, so they were blissfully unaware. then sargento would take the boys to the car while i paid and i would just put everything in the back of the van. (i think we were lucky though and this will be the last year we get to have them so blissfully unaware) however here comes the "FIRST" for us that made us laugh. both the boys were in the cart at first eating popcorn and sharing a drink (a great deal at target food stand for $1.50, thanks rebecca) anyways so they were sitting very nicely eating and drinking in the cart as we made our way back to the toys. on our way we passed this mom, grandmother, and little boy. the little boy was belting out at the top of his lungs "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUU! " and screaming about how he was not ready to leave. the grandmother grabbed his arm and pointed to curls and said, "now why can't you be good like that little boy"- sargento and i looked at each other and about fell over laughing, just because we have had more than our share of grumpy shopping days with our kids, and just laughed and thought "oh man, she just caught us on a good day" plus it totally helped that our kids were eating popcorn, one of there favorites.
