The Adventures in Hungry Toddler Shoppping


I was grocery shopping with Keith yesterday. We hadn't had dinner yet as we were waiting to go to ihop for pancake day (did you go?). I know it is never a good idea to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, but as we were planning on eating immediately after, I didn't think it would be a big deal.

As we were walking through the produce area, I stopped to look at some spinach. As I was pondering the need for spinach, I looked down and saw Keith.

He had pulled a green onion out of a bunch and was in the process of taking a big bite out of it.

I big bite.

He bit it in half bite.

I wasn't planning on buying green onions yesterday, but they were added to the cart. I couldn't very well put it back!

As we continued along, I noticed him trying to sneak some grapes out of the cart.

That boy was hungry!

I think my lesson has been learned. Never take a hungry toddler to the grocery store.

On an different note, I will be changing to a new blog url. at the end of next week. I want to give ample notice so it doesn't take anyone by surprise. Jeffrey and I were talking about internet safety and though it is a pain to switch the url, I would rather have my family safe from any loonies who decide my life is important enough to mess with. That said, you will be able to find me at involuntarysmiles.blogspot.com. I hope to see you all there!

What a funny story about your hungry boy. And I agree, you can't be too careful on the internet. And I really like the involuntary smiles url. It fits!

It's so good to know other kids do that too! My kids always grab an apple and take a bite out of it. Once one of my kids took a bite and buried it back in the bin with all the other apples and I couldn't find it! How did Keith like the green onion?

Hahaha that's so funny! I say never bring a hungry mommy to the grocery store, I have way more problems wanting to eat the food than my kids! :)

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
