My hubby would take all 3 kids, if he had to. He hates shopping because of the $ spent. He did ok yesterday, though. No panic attacks. haha. He didn't even really cringe at the registers of the stores!

Love that MEME..

3 kids, all the supplies in one day. There's a parent's medal for that you know. It's given out somewhere. Maybe I'll google it and get back to you. ;)
