To Market

This morning I realized that we were all out of lettuce that we feed our turtle, Fendi.  I asked Emily and Audrey if they wanted to go with me to the market to pick out some veggies.  They were happy to run an errand so we all went, Molly included.  Emily wanted to push her own small cart.  They have these small plastic basket carts that she likes.  I told her that she could pick all of Fendi's food and I'd follow with my cart full of the youngins.  I didn't take into account the fact that Audrey now has a mind of her own and, even though she dangles from the handle of the cart, she insisted on pushing it herself.  She didn't take into account Molly's restless leg syndrome and she ended up getting kicked in the face numerous times.  Audrey is very determined and endured the face kicking for a good 30 minutes before conceding.

By the time we got to the check out Audrey was in the cart, Molly was in her seat and Emily was pushing her basket.  Molly decided it would be fun to throw Audrey's dolly out of the basket over and over while Emily kept throwing it back at Audrey and Molly.  They made such a racket but it was happy noise so I didn't shush them.  Fendi was happy with his salad this afternoon.
