Looking back, I can remember the times my dad went "grocery shopping" - he usually goes if my mom forgets something, or if we are preparing for a long road trip.
He returns, usually with 10 more things then he went for, and at least 80% of them contain chocolate in some form.
As he pulls things from the bag, mom says, "we do not need that!" or "I have a whole box of those!"
I never minded the extra chocolate chips, ice cream or whipped cream- but now that I'm a wife, I mind.
Brett ran to the store for me a couple times last week, once to get some nyquil for himself and the other time to get stuffing mix to make for the ward party. Both times he came back with at least 5 more things then what he went for. And you know what? 80% of them contained chocolate in some form. He pulled out the half gallon of ice cream, "We needed this" he says, "No we don't!" I say. Reminding him that I purposefully hadn't bought ice cream the past few times I've gone to the store because we eat it in 2 days (or less).
He continues to pull out more treats, explaining with each one how we really needed it. And with each one I explain to him why we don't or how we already have it.
Now I know what my mom was talking about.
I'm thankful to have a husband who will grocery shop- I just have to be prepared for the extra items that seem to find their way home with him. :)
Denae took some family photos for us! we LOVE them. I will post the rest tomorrow.
I love this one, denae must have done something really goofy to get Parker to laugh- he's laughing/cuddling into Brett's neck- I love it!
