Everyday Adventures: The one where we are famous

We.Are.Famous.
And I'm not so sure that is a good thing.

We're getting to be regulars at a nearby grocery store. 

We have our routine.  
We've mastered the basket-clipped-to-the-back-of-our-stroller technique and everyone gets a job. 


To make it a success, we have to maintain reasonable expectations (note to self), not be on a strict timetable, and be prepared to answer no less than 1000 questions about how many sets of triplets I have.


Oh, and always take advantage of the free cookies.

I never really intended to get locked in to this one store. In fact, it is the one that Cbug made me avoid for a while. But the kiddos and I went there the first time we ventured out alone, we know it works, and we just keep going back.

It makes for a great get-away from the heat and everyone loves being there (weird, I know).

EVERYONE recognizes us. The managers, the bakery ladies (FOR SURE), the cashiers, and maybe even the nice man who cleans up after shopping casualties (a dozen eggs one trip and a glass jar of garlic the next...oops).

I mean, not that we are conspicuous or anything (smirk).

Allison, you are doing a fabulous job! I don't even like going to the store with my 4! I'm enjoying the glimpses into your everyday life.
