Ready to roll!

I am now the proud owner of a double stroller! I truly, at this point, couldn't go anywhere without it! I did, however, take my 5 kids with me to the store to buy this thing. I was overly brave, I know. I was starting to panic that I would be stranded here at the house, unable to go anywhere. So, I made a plan in my head. Talan is in an infant carrier, so I would put that in the big part of the buggy, and Zachariah in the front. I headed to Baby Depot in Burlington Coat Factory first. I had found one online that I wanted. The buggy was too small for the carrier, so I opted to put him in the single stroller we have, and Zachariah in the shopping cart. One of the kids could push the stroller. What I wasn't counting on, was how uncontrollably upset Talan gets.

Are you picturing this scene in your head?? Me, with 3 school age kids, during the middle of the day, with 2 babies, of mixed color...one in a buggy, one in a stroller, and the youngest baby just SCREAMING. Everyone, of course was staring at me. One old lady had the gall to walk by me and say "that baby is hungry". As if I hadn't thought of trying that first to get him to calm down. Well, I kept thinking, as I walk with him, he will stop. About halfway through the store, I realized he wasn't stopping, so at that point, I just stopped in the middle of the aisle to try to comfort him. My kids decided this was the time to get wild running off with the buggy....oh, are you picturing this now? Everyone eye in that store was on me. At this point, I was SO CLOSE to the baby section with the strollers, I thought, I had come this far with FIVE kids, I wanted to at least see if it was worth coming back! haha Anyway, he never stopped his screaming, and I quickly left the store.....where he instantly stopped screaming. Just stopped as I walked out the door.

So, then I went on to Toys R Us. He stayed in his carrier, and was perfect, and I bought my stroller!!!
