Reasons Why I Shouldn't go Christmas Shopping by Myself with the Kids...

  • Grafton insisted on pushing his brother in the double stroller and made it fall backwards so that Deklan was head down in front of a group of people waiting in line at Macy's.
  • The large double stroller barely fits through doors and between racks holding merchandise.
  • Potty breaks (poop and pee) at the most inconvenient times.
  • Deklan decided to have a melt-down at the beginning of lunch resulting in food all over the floor and BOTH of us.
  • Deklan was also wanting to nurse during his fit and proceeded to lift up my shirt and show all of the busy holiday shoppers my white stomach.
  • Grafton stood in the stroller, with only him in it, and caused it to tip backwards for a second time that day.
  • We temporarily lost a shoe.
  • Only two gifts were purchased.
  • We got on and off the same elevator 3 times because I could not figure out which floor we needed to be on.
  • My feet ached, my head hurt, and I was completely exhausted by the end of our trip!

  1. That sounds like an exhausting day! :( We haven't even done much Christmas shopping because I don't want to have to do it by myself with the kids!

  2. I've decided to do as much shopping as I can on Amazon from here on out. You get free shipping, no, tax, and I can do it from the comfort of my home!
