I forgot to order my groceries for the end of the week. Now that didn't happen, I don't want to wait until tomorrow to get them...IF they even have an opening to pick up. Typically by now, it wouldn't be until Monday, but the kids need food for lunches this week. I love the pick up. I order, my mom picks up and my kids bring them in. It is a perfect system, well until I forget to order them. Ugh!
I asked Lucas if he would like to go to the store with me. Surprisingly, said yes! Then I realize he would like to go so that he can add to his already abundant slime supply that he won last night. So we had different agendas of what needed to be accomplished at the store. As soon as we walk in, we head directly to the office supplies. He is able to find some fun additions to his stash of slime products and couldn't be happier. Lucas said "now on to your list mom!" He was a champ and shopping went so much quickly with him. it was like a scavenger hunt for him. Lucas would ask for an item and run the isles to find it - it was great!

Sounds like a fun time. Totally worth forgetting to place the pick-up order!

Great! Forgetting to order your groceries actually made your son happy and help his mom! And his mom is happy! Good job, Lucas! :)

It sounds like it all worked out for the best. I used to have some great conversations with my daughters while grocery shopping. Maybe you can "forget" again in a few weeks.

It's nice when a mistake turns into something positive! And by the way...more and more I order my groceries, too. I just can't stomach spending my precious "free" time shopping at the grocery store!
