One thing I am thoroughly enjoying this year, and for the only year in the middle of a 9-year-span, is that I never have an 11:30 school pickup. I have two in school all day and two home all day, with no preschoolers or kindergarteners. This luxury means I have time to do things like drive down to Clarkston to shop at Costco. Yesterday was the first time my littles and I made the trek that didn't involve an entire family excursion on the weekend.
The boys were great "helpers", and were rewarded with chocolate Oreo shakes at lunch. We only managed to eat half that huge pile of fries.
And after we got home, they let me admire how strong they are when they helped carry little boxes of things up the stairs. I love it!
