Harry and Me Part Two

Earlier this week, Harry went shopping with me to Sam's Club!

He hadn't gone to the store with me since last summer!

It's just easier during the school year to go alone,

but during the summer I try to rotate the boys

so they get to run errands with me. I was expecting

Harry to do his loud, anxious humming that he always does.

And sure enough, he started into it as soon as we left home.

But as soon as we got to Sam's, he stopped!

Here we are in the pet food isle.

We picked up a huge box of bird seed for the outside feeders.

Notice how he is holding onto the side of the cart?

We started out both holding the handle and pushing.

(the carts there are so wide that two people

can stand side-by-side like that) But for some reason

he was walking as if he was anticipating his feet bumping

into the cart! It was really quite comical and we weren't

get anywhere so I had him walk beside and hold on this way.

He seemed to enjoy himself and

was very obedient and listened well.

After we got everything we needed, we went down the movie isle.

I told him he could choose a DVD but he just smiled

and shook his head "No". I think it was

because he had already put two huge bags of

potato chips in the cart and he was excited

to pay for them and take them home.

He also chose a huge watermelon.

As you can see, he dove right in before we left the parking lot. We usually get those reduced fat Pringles,

so the real Mikesells chips tasted extra good!

I began the summer with Harry because he is the easiest

of the three guys. Alex can tantrum if he really gets

frustrated. And Spencer just wants to be the boss,

even pushing the cart super fast and not slowing

down around corners. I have to really be

on my toes to make sure he doesn't run over anyone.

So, next trip I may just take a Tylenol

before leaving the house! Thanks Harry for a fun trip!
