Double the Fun!

The Pouliot family has really discovered the magic of wholesale shopping with little ones in the house.  We make a monthly trip to get all our bulky items like paper towels and of course...DIAPERS!  (Thankfully, AJ has helped considerably by cutting that need in half with his amazing potty training efforts!)  What you probably never paid much attention to in these clubs are the grocery carts.  Sure they're carts that you put your stuff in.  How much attention do these carts deserve?  Well, unless you have little ones, you probably never really noticed that they have seats for TWO children up front!  WAHOOO!!! A dream come true..space for BOTH of my little rug-rats. 

When I was pregnant with Robert, Adam and I thought this was brilliant.  "Why don't ALL stores have double-seat shopping carts?  It's perfect!"  Take these children for example...

These two brothers LOVE their double-seat shopping cart!

Perfect right? They couldn't be happier to be sitting side-by-side.  This is what I envisioned.  Happy, giggly family shopping trips.  Nothing could have prepared me for this...

 

"Moooo-ooooom, he's touching me!  Make him stop. Stop touching me! He's breathing my air.  He's too close!"

 

Don't they look thrilled to be sitting next to each other?  WORST. IDEA. EVER!  And the fastest shopping trip we ever had too.  Ahhhh looking forward to the next "fun" trip!
