The little things

Maybe it's twins, maybe it's just Heather, but wow is she incredibly well prepared. Whenever you turn around, what ever you need is there. But it's also more than that.

Today, we were in the car with K&O coming home from Target where we had done a massive diaper & wipe run to restock supplies. It was dark, around 5:30 and the boys were getting a little hungry. Kyle spoke up "Mommy, what's in your bag?" He repeated the question several times until Heather figured out that he meant the glove compartment.

Owen then chimed in, "I want Goldfish". Heather's response: "Ok baby, here are some goldfish for you." Wait - where did that come from? She pulls a ziplock of Goldfish out of the glove compartment and hands them to him.

Kyle says, "I want bananas." Heather replies, I only have banana chips baby, do you want those?" And hands him the banana chips. Huh? Wait - did he know that and was asking because he knew, or she got lucky?

I don't know, but this happens all the time. From a diaper that happens to be on hand at the right time (like an accident in the store), to an extra set of clothes for when that diaper wasn't fast enough, to a sippy cup with the right juice, to a hat when it's cold.

But here is the real kicker:
1. Organic, no sugar added banana chips
2. Whole grain Goldfish
3. 100% juice, JuicyJuice
4. Some of the coolest clothes any one can wear (I wish I had half their style)
5. Preemptive readiness for any situation
