The People of Walmart

I discovered a surefire way to get stares from other people at Walmart. Curious?

  1. Take all four of your children to Walmart. (Really, we could stop there, but I'll go on.)
  2. Grab one of those gigantic carts that seats three comfortably, but could carry at least four additional children, if not more depending on how small they are and how well they can squish.
  3. Place your three older children in the cart, even the ones that look way to big to be riding.
  4. Give each of them a book to read. (Let's be honest, this part is more for your own sanity than anyone else's amusement.)
  5. Strap your baby into a baby-wearing apparatus.
  6. Push the gargantuan cart through Walmart while wearing your infant.
  7. Do all of this with a slightly giddy grin while you try not to burst out laughing at all the shocked looks you're getting.
  8. When people comment that you have your hands full (and they will) respond with, "Yes I do!" or perhaps, "It's always an adventure!"

There you have it, a no-fail method to garner attention, whether you want it or not.

In Utah you wouldn't have even be noticed. Shopping for you is an adventure and an aerobic activity. Great looking family!

How did you get Sophie into the carrier when she was asleep? Or was the picture post shopping?
