Grocery Shopping

We go grocery shopping when it works with my Schnucks schedule....if that happens to be on Friday evening, we tend to go eat first.....We ran into the Kroger on Houston Levee the other day, and decided we like it better than the Kroger in Collierville (it's bigger for one thing, and for my Texan friends, it reminded us alot of HEB grocery stores). Well, there is a Backyard Burger on the same street, not directly across from it, but close. So we ate there....

They have this amazing play area....Kraig loved it. We often deliberately DO NOT go to restaurants with play scapes because he won't eat....but 1)we didn't know they had one till we were already inside and 2)bribery has been working really well lately. He had to eat at least half his sandwich and then he could go play....he agreed without a whole lot of fuss. Which tells me he either was actually hungry, or he really wanted to go play.











I wish I could be this relaxed when grocery shopping....School wears Kraig out. By Friday, it is all he can do to stay awake...so we were stretching the limits of his stamina. But his favorite store is WalMart, and he knew that was next...so he stuck it out (but not without whining!).
