Straight jacket required

I have said it before and I will say it again. Boys are foreign creatures. They have search and destroy programmed into them. Here is an example for you. Today is payday. We also get our taxes back tomorrow. So it was time for a huge trip to BJ's (Costco/Sam's club type place). 2 kids and a warehouse. Right there I should have stopped. But no, I wanted to spend time with my family tonight, not be out braving the masses. The cart is getting heavier and heavier and Fletcher decides he doesn't want to sit, he wants to be carried. It went down hill from there. Aiden proceeded to reach behind him and start emptying the contents of the cart onto the floor. Dealt with that mess and managed to make it out of there with my sanity intact. Ran home, dropped off the massive amount of stuff it takes to feed and keep my family clean. Then it was off to Target and the grocery store. Again Fletcher insists on being held and now Aiden wants to be held as well. This is one of those times a third arm would be great. He is screaming, Fletcher is whinnying, and all I want is to get what I need and get the hell out. This very patient cashier tries to help me by putting the bags in the cart for me. Yeah, Aiden picked up and dumped the bags before I could get the word "NO" out of my mouth. Tonight we are going to try going out to dinner with the Bjorn clan (3 kids for them so 7 kids total). Wish me luck!

Good luck, Mama! I'm not sure if it makes you feel any better, but my B throws everything out of the cart all the time too!

Hugs!
