Apparently Arizona is in the middle of or should be bracing for the storm of the century. The Perfect Storm. West Coast Katrina. Meteorological armageddon. Or maybe just some wind and a few inches of rain. Either way it means that we are stranded in our home surrounded by Last night food supplies were dwindling so we braved the 60 degree weather and light drizzle and headed to Costco for rations. We've sought refuge in Costco before because, much like the UN, they hand out free food.
We picked up a few things and decided to wait out the breezy weather in the comfort of the food court. Although the food isn't Bobby Flay's chipotle-molasses ribs, it is really cheap and very tasty. We all got a slice of pizza and froyo (I said it) to wash it down. We eat there so often that Robyn bought a clip-on table seat for Max so he can smear his food on the table instead of the shopping cart. The seat always garners inquiries from curious parents. Usually something like, "Wow, where did you get that seat? Oh my God, your kid is choking!" or "Hey, your other kid is climbing into that garbage can over there." Yeah, that seat is great.
My fav as of late. I think it's so amusing because I can totally picture the whole outing in detail and understand how a trip to the grocery store can easily be turned into a field trip when kids are involved. I'm sure, to them, a trip to Costco is right up there with Peter Piper.
ReplyDeleteNow that the Costco is closer, Peter is totally out. The only game they had that was any fun anyway was skeeball. They should just get a Wii, an Xbox, and a PS3 and hook them up to screens.
