Yes to Dierbergs, No to Trader Joe’s
The reason… Dierbergs has a shopping cart that both kids can sit in. Aman wanted to sit in the shopping cart, darn it! They have the cute little carts for the kids, but he would have none of it. So, Trader Joe’s only if one kid is with us and that kid is Serawit. Aman is just too big for the little shopping cart. The good part of it is that we found healthy animal crackers that they seem to really like – so another snack to add that they like.
It was a fun day. We started off going to see a friend who works at the Whittle Shortline Railroad in Fenton. It’s a wooden train and wooden puzzle store, but for the kids, when you walk in, there are these tables set up with wooden train sets, and the kids are allowed to go to town. Don’t have to buy anything. The kids LOVED it.
This evening, my sister, her boyfriend, and his daughter (same age as Serawit) came over for dinner. I actually, like, really cooked for the first time in weeks, and grilled thick cut pork chops that I had brined ahead of time, and grilled corn on the cob, and roasted some regular and sweet potatoes. Then we played on the slip and slide. Afterward we enjoyed grilled pineapple. The kids had fun rolling around in the water and sliding down the slide we had set up.
Just put them down and they went right to sleep. Nighty Night!
