Meijer shopping trip 9/19/10

I had Parker with me when I went grocery shopping. Not my favorite thing to do when he's with me...... I'm sure I would have "played the deals" a bit more, if he wasn't with me. Kent was home taking the trim off the dining room walls and prepping them for paint! :) YAY! Can't wait!!
