First outing as a family.

Two weeks ago we took Jaxson to first doctor's appointment.  What an event.  The doctor was running behind so it took longer than usual.  Since we were out and about we thought we would run a couple "quick" errands.  On our way to Home Depot we could hear that the car was making a noise, so after Craig ran into Home Depot (Lucas whined the whole time, because he wanted to go with daddy) we drove around the Home Depot trying to figure out where the sound was coming from.  Then Jaxson started crying because he was hungry.

So Jaxson is crying while we are driving to Walmart, we are hurrying to get there so I can feed him, and suddenly Lucas says "Mommy, I make a mess."  I turn around and my child has picked his nose and is now covered in blood, and he is hiding his hands because he is ashamed, poor little guy.  Craig runs into Walmart with Lucas to get him cleaned up.  I am in the car feeding Jaxson.  It takes Craig longer in Walmart because he has to clean up Lucas and then the cashier was being difficult.

Our last stop is Comcast, so Craig can pick up the HD box (very important, apparently).  We arrive and low-and-behold Comcast is no longer at that location.  We call to see where they move to, but the location doesn't sound familiar to us, so we end up downtown at the other location, only to find that it is packed with college kids.  We spend the next several minutes in the car while Craig is trying to figure out where Comcast has moved to.  Craig figures it out, but it is back by where we originally thought they were, so we head back find the Comcast place pick up the box.  Three and half hours later we are heading back home.  Wow!  That was an event, and I had backup, because Craig was with me.  So needless to say I will not be venturing out on my own with two kids for awhile.
