Trader Joe's

We don't shop at Trader Joe's too often, but we like to go there because they have little kid-sized red shopping carts. Gavin thinks it's a really big deal to push the cart around the store with our food items in it. So we went there today, and to our disappointment, they had put the kid carts away for the week! An employee told me that "the store is just too crowded this week, the carts slow things down, and they'll be back after Thanksgiving." Hmph! You try explaining that to a 2 year old who was looking forward to pushing a cart! Cookie Monster even came with us so he could ride along with Gavin.

Luckily, Gavin took it all in stride. As long as I let him get a really green banana, he was happy. He even wanted to get in the cart with Evie. Here we are waiting in line:




"Hi Grandma! Yeah, we're stuck in the checkout line at Trader Joe's. You're having problems with your computer? Sure, I'll take a look at it when I'm over at your house for Thanksgiving!"
