This is how we roll

Gone are the days of quick errands. Even a fast trip to the grocery store now involves getting two kids up two flights of stairs to the parking lot, in and out of car seats, and into the very "special" car shopping carts that Safeway offers (I think to punish parents for trying to shop with kids). They place them right in front of the door so there is no way to get into the store without your kids seeing them, and if the choice is shopping with a sobbing child (or two) because they didn't get to ride in the car cart (or germ petri dish as I like to think of them), or wielding the massive beast throughout the store, I usually end up picking the later. I think its the better choice...I think.
