Costco Shopper

Here's a picture of my constant companion. Lately, she has been on a kick to close doors. She follows me along all day and close every door behind me and then every other door she can see. You wouldn't think so, but it slows you down to open every door when you enter and leave a room. This is what she wore today. She even told me that her name was "Elmo" She wears her costume when we go out a lot. It embarrasses Allie when she wears it to pick her up from school. She even took a nap in it.
I like how she has the Pirate's Booty buckled in the shopping cart. She gave it a hug when I grabbed it and then insisted that it be buckled in.
Kate loves to go to Costco. She always asks for a hot dog or pizza. When she plays with her shopping cart at home, she says, "Bye Mom! I go Costco." then "Hot dog!" Usually we split one, but a couple of weeks ago I gave her a whole one. She ate it all! Luke said, "That was pretty impressive!" Or gross. But for a child who doesn't eat it is nice to see.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the costume. Riley was like that. He went everywhere in a costume. Jeremy did it but he was sometimes embarrassed.
The whole hotdog is impressive!

That is so great! I love your little shopping buddy! My kids ask all the time to go to Sam's Club and get a pretzel (I give in a lot since I love them too!)
