Today I learned that going into a store with 2 toddlers that are not confined is a very bad idea.  Being the dutiful mother that I am, I made the trip to the surplus store to buy Peewee his cub scout shirt and necessary badges.  Yes I'm way overdue on this one.  I tell the older boys they can go look at the camping stuff while I go to the boy scouts section.  Silly me thought my dear sweet littles would stay by mom while she looked at the shirts.  Ha!  I was so wrong!  One went one way and the other went the other way.  Uuugghh!  Now I remember why I bought that double stroller.  I am frantically trying to catch 2 tots and yelling for Pumpkin to come help his poor mom all while the clerks are getting a really good laugh.  Princess is running and laughing with great glee as she is free in a store with all kinds of things to touch.  Peanut is dunking and crawling under everything imaginable.  I'm sure he thought he hit the jackpot on "tents".  Pumpkin did show up and help me coral the littles amongst his fits of laughter.  I think I'm probably the only one that wasn't laughing.  All I can say is thankfully there was very few customers in the store and I will never forget the stroller again.  Some days I wonder why I take them out in public. 

Disclaimer - they are usually really well behaved in public but when they act up they do it all the way.
