BOO!!!

Parenting has a lot of golden moments that make you laugh and smile.  These are the moments that you will treasure long after the kids have moved out and you’ve converted their bedrooms into an exercise room and/or office.  Some of my favorite moments are when our kids make us laugh with the funny things they say or do. 

I made the decision to take Kaleb and Kennedy with me on our weekly grocery shopping trip. Generally, they would rather not go just as much as we prefer not taking them, because as luck would have it we spend more money when the kids tag along. As we all are well aware Halloween is approaching and there is always that one aisle in the grocery store full of Halloween goodies, masks, costumes, etc. This aisle just happens to be my life saver because while I get my shopping done it entertains my kids, it's the perfect child care. Year round our house is full of scaring each other or other people for that matter, to be honest its just something we get our kicks out of. Often before the culprit even makes it to a door way I'm giggling so hard my scares end up being giggle fests.

Needless to say my kids come by scaring honestly. As I've finished checking out and grabbing my cart full of groceries, I head towards the aisle to retrieve my two kiddos but I can't seem to locate them. This had to have been the most perfect timing ever, because just as I'm getting ready to call Kaleb; a mother and her daughter are venturing down the Halloween aisle. Two kids yell BOO and jump out from behind a candy stand with pig masks on causing the daughter to scream and the mother to jump back into the shelves next to her. I know immediately that my kids are behind this and can't help but laugh until my guts hurt and I fear I will wet my pants at any given moment. This was my Sunday grocery shopping adventure and as terrible as this sounds, I can't help but think I wish I would have gotten it on video, hmmmmmmmm well maybe next Sunday!!!
