Shopping with Harry

Harry's first trip to the grocery with me went just fine!
In fact, I forgot to document it here and it's his turn again
already this week! We had gone to Sam's Club and he was
very excited that it was his turn! :)
This was also before he gave himself that haircut! ha.
He found some very nice train documentary DVD's in the movie aisle! But his favorite was the 2 big bags of potato chips! Of course, if you know Harry, that is no surprise at all! He even remembered that at Sam's, it's a Buy Any Two deal. How fun for a chip-loving boy! I think that look is "Can I open these now?" The most fun part of shopping with mom is that she lets you eat in the Jeep on the way home. :) Nice to see a little traffic! We don't have that in our little village!
Back to long empty roads and corn fields!
Still, there's nothing more peaceful than red barns,
green fields, and blue skies!
Just like his brothers, Harry did a great job!
Very obedient and pleasant to have around.
He even helped load groceries on the conveyor belt
while we were in the check out line.
He also answered 'hi' to the greeter when the man
talked to him. :)

  1. I love hearing how well the trip went. I'm a chip girl, myself. I'd rather have chips than fries any day of the week. Good on Harry for being so helpful. :)

  2. Pringles are better as the stack all nice and neat
    Not getting greasy stuff on your hands and feet..lol
    Wow that store has a huge dvd aisle
    Nothing much like that around here, just some stacked in a pile
    Sounds like fun was had by all
    Hey and a dvd of trains saves more pictures from going down the hall..lol

  4. Pat ~ I agree about the salty grease
    I tried a few and wasn't pleased.
    This was just a shopping trip treat
    and not the usual chip feat.
    Did you say grease on his toes?
    haha...he'd probably try, goodness knows!
    Yes, the pages weren't down the hall
    but wouldn't you know the dvd cases took that call!
    I should have taken a picture
    as it was quite the adventure!

  5. Good job Harry!!

    Does Harry share his potato chips...

    Love the country on your drive after you leave the city?

  6. Thanks, Silver.
    The second trip seems to be a little more of a challenge as they are more comfortable and independent.
    I'll have to give an update after he comes with me this week!
    Always happy for a smooth trip, though! We've had our share of crazy ones!

  7. Wanda ~ well, he didn't want to share! I asked and he shook his head 'no'! haha. But I took a couple anyway. :)

  13. Brian ~ tell Tara life is too short not to eat in the car! Besides, that's what they invented shop vacs for! :)

  14. I can understand not eating in bed, but in the car? Silly.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Glad to hear it went well and I am a total chip girl myself.

  16. The first thing I noticed about Harry, was he is so relaxed and content. He's just sitting there, looking out the window.

    Harry really scored with the DVD's and a car ride home, eating chips.
    He probably didn't have much time to eat because there wasn't any traffic.
    Wish we had that problem.

  17. Eating while driving in the car could be bad
    Depending upon what is to be had
    Meaning what one is trying to stuff in their yap
    Could accidentally speed and get caught in a trap
    But when not behind the wheel
    No big deal
    Unless you're a big slob
    Then I'll make you do the cleaning job
    DVD cases down the hall too..haha
    Oh that I can fill a hall or two

  18. Yes, they are messy eating their chips but we just take it in stride,
    vacuum them up and wash their clothes in Tide.

    ha.
    I use Era, actually, but that didn't rhyme.

  19. I bet when Brian drives alone
    he sneaks a burger and a cone
    and eats and drives at the same time
    won't tell tara...feeling so sublime.

    hee.

  20. Christine ~ I think he was the most relaxed now that you mention it. He LOVES to look out the window. The other two are more in tent on getting there. Harry loves to look for cows and horses, which we always see many of.

  21. Wonderful to hear that the shopping trip went well & I, like Harry, can be a bit of a Chippy Monster when my favourtie chips are about. Chips are so moreish & that's why I deliberatly avoid the chippy aisle. I love the old red barns too, what a lovely place to live.

  36. Awww....Harry knows that Sam's rocks! :D

  37. I love your shopping expeditions. It's so hard to remember that they are so much more of an 'event' for all the boys and you for that matter than they are for most. The haircut seems to be recovering

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love your header!!! I love old pictures and try to imagine what it must've been like way back then.

    I'm glad you and Harry had a fun trip to the grocry store together. I'm a little envious though, my mom NEVER let eat of the food on the way home. She never bought chips either.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wonderful, it all is just wonderful. It all makes me smile. You are so patient and kind.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanks, Larry~! Harry's patient and kind, himself! Maybe he takes after his mother? ha.

  43. You mean, first trip to the grocery store this summer, right? he's been before I;m sure.

    that pic of him with the chips is quite handsome actually. He looks really relaxed there. Love it. Way to go mom and son. :)
