In the beginning...

This morning the girls and I spent a lot of time in the car. I accidentally left my purse in the car last night, and since I drive the van for everything (for obvious reasons) I had to go chase my husband down to pick it up before I went walking. So off I go in the opposite direction of the mall that I walk, and then back to to the Ontario Mills to walk and walk with the 4 girls.

I took the wagon in this time to the mall, and all 4 girls wanted to ride. Loads of fun for them, not so fun for my arm. Becca and Cassidy walked for 2 of the 4 miles, and the twins walked for about half a mile. Yeah, the twins are lazy, and also really slow and don't like to keep up.

After that I went grocery shopping. I found out that the store that I was going to for the turkey for next week was out of the ones that Micah can have. Bummer. On to the next store. All their turkeys were not okay either. Finally I gave up and went to Trader Joe's because Micah is out of the waffles that he eats every day for breakfast. They are out. I'm having a horrible shopping trip. At least the girls were good. I bribe them well, though. They only get samples if they are good.

We didn't make it home in time for Cassidy to get picked up by Carrie after work, so I am going to have to take her home later. She's been great all day until about right now. I think she just remembered that she's two. Of course, the twins didn't need that reminder. Trader Joe's was really great with the screaming Zoe the entire time because she didn't get her way. It got worse when they were giving out samples of cookies and she couldn't have one.

So anyways back to the car. I literally went from home out to San Berdoo, out to Ontario, up to north Fontana, then back home, then out to Redlands, then back home. I don't know how many miles that is, but it's a lot. During that time we were listening to Becca's cd for Sparks (the Awana club...a discipleship training for kids), and we heard stories starting from creation going all the way to Babel. Of course it didn't really hit all of the stories, but there were several. Creation was fun because the girls (all three two year olds) have been going over creation in their Awana club, Puggles. They know that God made everything, and they will say it over and over, and over, and over... They are now on to "it was very good," but they don't really know that part very well and it comes out funny sometimes.

So, that was my morning. Kinda a bummer in that I don't feel like I accomplished anything, but I sure did do a lot. Still, the car rides were entertaining.
