out and about

after being cooped up in the house all day yesterday, we got out for a little bit today.  nothing exciting, just breakfast at the diner and a quick food shopping trip.  the fun started with me telling johnny that we would be going out for breakfast.  he immediately countered with, "i'm having french toast."  i have to say, the kids were really good at the diner no problems today. 

we headed over to the a&p to pick up a few things.  in the parking lot, john went with daddy and i had gillian.  most things turn into a competition with john, and there was a race for the front door.  gilly and i had the handicap of putting gilly in the shopping cart.  so the boys won this time.  i walk in the doors of the store, and there was john with a gallon of apple cider.  "we won.  and i got the cider."  john then hands me the cider and jumps on the back of the cart.

i guess daddy hadn't seen john's new ability of riding on the back of the cart.  since john had an audience, he showed us some tricks.  there was a lot of "look what i can do."







i'm king of the world

after the cart tricks, we had john walk through the rest of the store.  it was a little hard for mommy or daddy to push the cart.  i was worried that he would just fall off.  so he created games with the different colored floor tiles.  we had to only step on the black or jump from one tile to the next.
