I know all of that may not sound like a lot, but for those of you who have small children you've probably already calculated how many ins and outs of a car-seat that is! I'm usually really asking for it if I plan more than two consecutive stops involving getting the kids in and out of the car. Bringing their lunches along, coloring books, free cookies at the grocery store, and a lolly-pop at the bank helped, but mostly I just think I have wonderful children! Hee hee. I can't say that every errand-running attempt has run this smoothly (in fact that is probably why I feeling so grateful for today's success!) Just didn't want their efforts to go unnoticed.
*note: I also love and appreciate Grace...she just didn't happen to be there for this grateful moment (still in school.)
