kisses and fun

I tried posting some of this yesterday, but for some reason it wasn't working out very well. So, enjoy this little update.

Hannah has started blowing kisses. It's so cute. Here's a little video.

Here are some cute pictures from this weekend.

I don't think Nicole looked only two in this outfit...she's so cute.

I loved these two pictures of Nicole and her daddy...they are two peas in a pod.

Hannah had spaghetti Saturday night for the first time. She loved it. Of course there was more in her lap and on her face than in her mouth.

Have I told you before that I love my family? Well, I do...they are the best!

CVS Update

I took the girls with me to CVS this morning because they were FINALLY offering some good items with ECBs. Well, It was a great, and disastrous trip. Disastrous first...

I was in the diaper aisle trying to find more pull-ups in Nicole's size. Hannah was sitting in the cart (you know, where the baby sits) and Nicole was walking beside me. While the cart was still, she decided she was going to stand on the side of the cart (feet on the bar below and hands on the basket). Well, CVS has very small shopping carts, so the weight of Nicole made the cart tip over. I couldn't catch either one before the cart fell. Both Nicole and Hannah hit their heads (very hard) on the shelving units. The cart was on top of Nicole and I couldn't get it up or Hannah out of the cart. They were both screaming, and I was finally able to pull Hannah from the cart, but I couldn't get the cart up on all four wheels. I was finally able to push it off Nicole, and as I do this, a sweet lady who was on a different aisle and heard the crash came running over to help me. She had a little girl between Nicole and Hannah's ages. I was very shoock up and both girls had large red areas and marks on their heads from hitting the shelving. After a few minutes, both settled down and they were fine! Praise God! I just sat on the floor with tears in my eyes for a couple of minutes. I don't think I could stand up. It was scary. I took them over to the pharmacist and asked him to look at them and teach me signs of a concusion or anything else I should look for. They looked fine, and now, just a couple of hours later, their little head boo boos are gone. They were fine after about 5 minutes....but I believe I have just now stopped shaking. Whew....it was intense, but they are both ok. So, I thank God for that! I carried Hannah for a while, and eventually put her back in the cart, only to find a moment later that she had almost slipped out of the cart through one of the leg holes. Our CVS cut the straps off the cart to hold the babies in!!!!! So, I held her the rest of the time.

So, with my super safety goggles on, we continued on our CVS excursion (only because it was clear that both girls were ok of course). I purchased $52 worth of stuff, but I only spent $8.00 out of pocket, used 10 ecb and earned back 20 ecb. Looking back, I could have done better, but I was still pretty shook up (and it's hard enough to think right when the kids are ok, let alone when some catastrophe happens!).

FYI...GREAT CVS Money Maker. See the Neutrogena facial bar. It's $2.99. The deal this week is buy 2 Neutrogena products and receive 10ecb. These bars are not pictured in the ad, but they work. So, I bought two bars (rounded to $6) and I earned $10ecb back.

Thanks for bearing with me through the story, and for not judging me to harshly. These things happen, and this is why the label on the cart says not to let your kid ride on the side. I'm really thankful for the lady who came over to check on us. It was sweet of her and I needed someone at that moment I think.
