Shopping trip from HELL!

Yesterday, after the absolute WORST grocery shopping trip ever, Makenna and I baked the yummiest shortbread cookies! (it's ON Danica!!) I swear I'm never going shopping by myself with my kids again! Well Makenna was good, but Saige was not! I got the girls loaded into the shopping cart and off we went into the Superstore. We made it not even 30 feet inside and Saige started screaming her face off. I tried to calm her down, but nothing would work, so back to the car we went. I sat in the car and nursed her for a few minutes and remembered that I had the Baby Bjorn carrier with us. So with Saige screaming again, I managed to get her strapped onto me and then I bounced around like an idiot in the parking lot and finally got her calmed down. So I loaded Makenna back into the cart again and we were ready to give it another try. This time we didn't even make it inside the doors before Saige started up again, so back to the car we went. At this point I was ready to give her away to any stranger who passed by!! So I sat in the car and nursed her again until she finally fell asleep. I carefully got her secured back into the Bjorn, loaded Makenna back into the cart and we were ready to try attempt number 3. Well she slept for most of the shopping, but my shoulders hurt so bad from carrying her in the bjorn that I could have cried! She is much to heavy for it!! When we got to the check out she woke up, which I was very grateful for because I wanted to her off of me!! So I put her back into the cart and of course she starts to wail again! I just left her to cry because I had had enough, and because I had to bag my groceries! Poor Makenna was trying everything to calm her down.. she is such a good big sister. When we were leaving we were walking by a lady down near the customer service and she offered me a tissue for Saige.. I guess she had heard her screaming from across the store! Saige has got the loudest, most nerve shattering scream on her! Never again!!!! Anyways, here are the delicious cookies that I was telling you about with the wonderful big sister who helped me make them..

These pictures are from a few days ago..

My little angels were so tuckered out!

Here are some pictures of that plant we were talking about, Mike.

I also noticed this strange tree in the back yard with these huge bulbs on it.. any idea's on what it is??

Here's Saige just being cute

We all scream for ice cream!

Today I took Makenna to DQ for some ice cream. Poor Saige got nothing but a stinking baby cookie! Poor Mommy got nothing! That took a lot of will power!!!
