There's no "f" in "way"

Today's grocery shopping trip with the kidlings wasn't quite a success, but it wasn't a complete failure either. Here's a summary:

Park. Leave kids in car to get a shopping cart. Put the Boy in the shopping cart seat. Attempt to fit Mei-mei's car seat into the main part of the shopping cart. Twist and turn car seat to squeeze it into the cart, then shove it down to make it stable. Put car seat canopy up so that the Boy doesn't drop things onto Mei-mei. Push cart into store and start looking for groceries. Realize there's nowhere to put the groceries, since both the seat and the main part of the cart are filled by children. Balance bananas on car seat handle. Put milk and various larger items under the cart. Squeeze tall thin items into small spaces around the edges of the car seat. Put other items in diaper bag. Stop shopping when ~30% complete, because there are no more places to stash items.

So I got less than half of what I needed. But at least I managed to get a few things! And there were no tantrums or tears in the store either, which I always consider a win.
