2 New "Firsts"

...for our family, that is.

#1--We used two carts for our weekly Wal-Mart run yesterday. Ellie and Laura were in one cart, groceries in the other. We have reached new heights of parenthood. Pros: you can prettymuch take up an entire Wal Mart aisle if you stand side-by-side having a discussion about what product to buy. Cons: It is made painfully obvious to others that you have a lot of small children (and they often feel free to comment on that fact. When shopping alone, I find this discouraging, but with David, it's often more humorous).


#2--We had venison for dinner tonight! Actually, our first venison was several weeks ago when I accidentally pulled some frozen ground venison out of the freezer, thinking it was ground beef. It was well disguised in spaghetti though, and you really couldn't tell what it was. Tonight, however, we had venison stew, and it turned out very well. Here's Laura, grinning for the camera:



Here's Carver, taking a huge bite of the yummy meat. Oh wait, that's rice!!!

Carver did eat it, and thought it was very cool to be eating "deer." And here's David, being charming as usual!

I guess there are less discussions of Bambi now?

Wow--that is a real Walmart milestone. I'm so glad you blogged about it...shopping at Walmart AND taking along your "innumerable" children is a delightfully politically incorrect combo! =)
