My favorite helper!

On most Sunday mornings Ben has to work so it has almost become a ritual for Kyle and I to get our grocery shopping done for the week! We go around 8 or 9 a.m. and then on the way home we stop for breakfast.

This past Sunday was no exception! We got up bright and early and went to Wal-Mart. I really like going early because no one else is in the store. (I will acknowledge and say yes, I know we should be in church during this time. I am not going to give the 10,000 reasons that just doesn't work right now....but yes I know that is where we need to be.) BUT.....for now we are getting our shopping done!

Kyle is such a big helper! I give him items to look for and he spots them for me on the aisles. He loves to ride in the big part of the buggy so I pile all the groceries around him. Lots of times we go through the aisles with him making towers out of my canned goods. Or playing telescope with the crescent rolls! In this picture, Kyle "spotted" an eagle flying!

Then when we get to the check out he helps me put everything on the check out counter. This past Sunday, Kyle told me "Mommy we are a good team!" And I have to agree....He just melts my heart!


And yes... he is holding a new hot wheels car for being such a good boy!
