The Valentines Cards and the Grocery Store

Had to stop at the grocery store yesterday for what should have been a 5 minute trip.  Had all 3 kids and it started out pretty well until the girls saw the candy down the candy isle.  Mind you I do everything in my power to not let them look down this isle!  So they start jumping up and down yelling "momma, momEE, we want suckers we want suckers!"  So they did say please and we get the bag of sucker and they rip into them immediately!  Meanwhile my son finds a box of NBA valentine cards and wants a box, so sure, why not.  Then my 3 year old wants a box of Barbie cards.  Fine.  So here we are almost finished and of course I have forgot something.  So we book it down that isle and from behind me I hear my 9 and 3 year olds fighting.  Don't know what about but all I know is that as I turn around they are now using their oh so needed valentines card boxes as weapons!!  Before I can say NO my daughter smacks her brother directly in the face and now its really on!  9...AND.....3!  So I grabbed the cards out of both of their hands and told them that no one gets them!  To which they protested and they were making such a scene, mostly my daughter that I took the boxes, threw them up over the isle, hopefully not hitting anyone on the other side, and we quickly proceeded to the check out, then to the car, then home where everyone went to their rooms! 
By the way, my husband called while all this was going on at the store, only to ask, "how's it going?!?!"  God love him!

Mom, momma, mommy
