costco

Today we needed to go to Costco.

I packed the kids a quick lunch, to eat while we were shopping, and loaded them up.

Avery has a little cold and wasn't feeling great, 

but she hopped in her seat with her baby doll right next to her.

Carter is way too big for the cart, but he sure thinks it's fun to sit by sister.

We shopped, talked, looked at toys and fun things for the yard and sampled yummy food.

While we were in the refrigerated section, next to the cheese, 

they both put their arms up and puckered up their lips.  

I bent my head down and got two big sloppy kisses on my face and 4 little arms around my neck.

It was delicious. 

It hit me...

someday I will be shopping in Costco and my cart will be empty.

It might be full of food and toilet paper,

but not kids.

I don't think I'm going to like that very much.

I'm sure enjoying each and every day with these little ones.

They make my life full, busy, crazy and happy.

Some days I dream of shopping at Costco alone and wonder what it would be like

to meander down the aisles, not worrying about nap times, kids fighting in the cart

 and binkies falling on the floor.

But, I will take my cart full of sweet, yummy kids, 

over an empty cart, any day!
