i heart target carts

after church we went to check out a new target and grocery store that were having grand openings in a brand new shopping center near our house.

right away i noticed the new cart style - all plastic - walking through the parking lot. they are definitely more attractive than the traditional metal carts you see everywhere. and then when we got inside the store i saw the most exciting cart ever! it has a bench for two kids and then there is still a regular cart. granted it is really long and feels like driving a bus around the store, but it is worth it to have two happy children.

besides the abundance of seating, the normal cart seating option (where i have mason's carrier) reclines further from the weight of the carrier instead of the metal ones that barely fit it and cause it to 'clip' on. i hate when the carrier 'clips' on to a traditional metal cart because it never seems to come off easily and just annoys me.

i never expected that i would become such a fanatic about shopping carts, but these are the kinds of things that make my life easier. and i didn't mention how thrilled madelyn was to have the option ride versus walking. she told us several times that she was very happy to be riding in the cart and that she really "likes this cart".

on the way home she started to blow her spit bubbles - a recent favorite past time - and just looked cute with her sunglasses and polka dot dress (that she picked out for church this morning because it had polka dots). love.
