Nice people

So today I went to Target with all the kids. It wasn't so bad. My two big girls are generally well-behaved and my baby just hangs out in my sling. I bought a bunch of groceries and was loading them in my trunk from my cart. I was a dork and had pushed the cart to the little sidewalk thing in front of my car, so I had to walk the length of my car over and over to get all the groceries to the back. While the two big girls were in the car fighting over something and Little Peach was still sleeping away in the sling while I loaded up, a car pulled in next to me. A middle aged couple and their granddaughter (about 10 or 11yo) got out. They took one look at me with my baby strapped to me, a forlorn look probably upon my face, and screams and shouts coming from inside the car and immediately offered to help load my groceries. I thought about it for 1.2 seconds and said, "yes!"

I am so grateful to be the recipient of a random act of kindness today!!

And because I love 'em, here is a pic of my two redheads today. They matched so we had a little photoshoot.

I'm loving the new blog! Thanks for writing it. I've been feeling pretty stuck in a rut lately, and you helped me remember why I really do enjoy being home with my kiddos. I was admiring your sling on your other blog and wondered where you got it. I've researched all kinds of slings but haven't taken the plunge to spend $$$ and buy one yet. I couldn't figure out what brand you have. Do you like it? Does is breathe well? Is there anything you would change about it. It seems like all the slings that come highly recommended also come highly priced. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your blog. You are and excellent mommy, friend and example.
