First shopping excursion with mom...

Ohhhh boy.  Today we were on our own!  This morning I packed up the girls and we headed off to playgroup again this week which was really nice to get out.  We had fun hanging out over there and then I decided since we were right by Walmart, that I would try to survive the girls' first shopping excursion by myself.  :)  I brought the triple stroller along, carried my purse/diaper bag on my shoulder...and then had a teeny bit of room underneath the stroller for purchasing things. :)  Sure enough, I no more than got 2 of them out of the car and I already had an audience. :)  So many sweet people....but oh so many stares and so many questions.  Wow.  I just went with the hopes that I could walk up and down every aisle and the girls would nap the whole time.  It almost worked!  I just took my time and was stopped every other aisle or so....part of me felt like a famous person...and the other part of me felt like I was part of the circus.  It's just so funny that triplets seem so "normal" to me now since that's all I know but to everyone else, it really is a shocker to see a triple decker stroller!  Oh man.  I realized I couldn't really buy much since I had no free hands...but that was okay.  It was nice to just get out and to say that I've done it by myself now!  At one point, Addison started crying and I got a little nervous about what I would do since she doesn't like nuks and I couldn't take her out of the stroller because I had no where to put her!  But turns out, she was just tired so the stroller "rocked" her right to sleep.  Besides all the stares, questions, comments, and needing help carrying things out to the car, I felt like a normal person again because I could go shopping with my kiddos just like every other mom! :)  Woohoo! Then we came back home and I fed Addison and Hailey at the same time while Emily was still asleep in her carseat.  Not too shabby!
