Grocery shopping was a success, but the clip boards were not. Ainslee ended up deciding to stay home with Anthony and play with a friend. You would think that would make it easier taking 1 less child, but that is not the case. She is like the ultimate assistant, a mom in training. Sometimes I don't know how I would get things done if it weren't for her. Suffice it to say, she was greatly missed :O) The boys were initially excited about their new "toys", but ended up just getting frustrated when the pencil would fall out, and trying to get the food while holding their boards didn't work well. I think we could make it work in the future with a few tweaks. We ended up just doing plain old shopping.
