It's amazing how the most routine errands can be completely entertaining for the kids. Back in the day (when I was new mom), I avoided these little "car" shopping carts like the plague . . . imagine all of the germs in these! Well, the benefit of having 2 kids that already have had hand, foot and mouth disease is that I don't mind quite as much about them being exposed to something like that from these carts. (Not sure if I posted about the hand, foot and mouth a while back - I think I did. Anyway, it's not as disgusting as it sounds, but it is a pain. The good thing is once kids have it they shouldn't get it very bad, if at all, again.) I know they can still get exposed to all kinds of nasty things, but I'm more brave now, so I just give the cart a swipe with the Clorox wipes and we're ready to roll!
