I Have Officially Arrived as a Mother

I must be crazy. I took the kids (still in their pajamas) to Wal-Mart first thing this morning so we could get this movie before it sold out and my coupon expired.


(I'm pretty sure going to the store at the crack of dawn to use a coupon on a Disney movie is a rite of passage all new moms must pass through on their journey to greatness.)

THE HIGHLIGHT: I mentioned in my previous post that Garrett is really into the Living Scriptures movie "He is Risen." We were walking through the store and Garrett was following behind me reciting a few lines from the movie. We passed by another mom and her children. We both stopped to look at different things on the shelves, which left Garrett facing a little boy that seemed to be about his same age. Garrett looked at the little boy and said (quite emphatically), "You killed an innocent man."

Oh Wal-Mart floors...please open up and swallow me whole. It's bad enough when your three-year-old accuses another kid of killing an innocent man. It's even worse when he does it wearing bright green dragon mud boots and candy-cane striped pajamas from last Christmas that are way too small.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who got up early to get Tangled the day it came out :) I felt a little crazy fighting with the other mothers for my copy at Target.

I LOVE the Garrett moment. I had to tell Josh because it just cracked me up. What a funny little guy.
