I never knew there were so many curious, caring, and utterly rude people out there until having quads. I absolutely love your response...what a great verse.

Obviously, you are a very creative & artistic couple with a flair for writing. <BR/>Your babies are seriously some of the cutest I have EVER seen. I heart them! thanks 4 sharing.<BR/>oh! and the lady who watched you? Get a friggen life. seriously!! she should of at least not told you she was watching & pretended to do something else in her car. wow, kudos to you for being so classy about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487248148560087705.post-59791523743053446242008-06-04T09:44:00.000-05:002008-06-04T09:44:00.000-05:00Mari - I just had to leave a comment after reading...Mari - I just had to leave a comment after reading this one - you're awesome. I am in awe of your parenting. It's obvious why God chose you and Chris for the wonderful parenting experience of quads. Having a 9 year old, a 4 year old and a 16 month old; I live for the shopping trips when Daddy stays home and I get to go ALONE! I can't imagine trying to do it with four - all the same age! I think you handled the situation as gracefully as possible. I would have struggled not to make a comment - way to go Holy Spirit! <BR/><BR/>By, the way Ian loves the "At the Park with Jazz" video. We usually have to watch it at least two times in a row. For him to sit still that long is an amazing thing in and of itself!<BR/><BR/>"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise."

The other thing I have done is pull a grocery cart behind me while I push the Runabout - a little nuts but it worked (Gen, thanks for that handy tip).Goerlich Quadrupletshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659518562686407777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487248148560087705.post-63594879675490139862008-06-04T00:25:00.000-05:002008-06-04T00:25:00.000-05:00Wow, the least she could've done is pulled around ...Wow, the least she could've done is pulled around to the next row and watched from a distance. Still blatant, but a little less conspicuous. Houston really must be hurtin' for entertainment to get a kick out of one woman's "unloading and reloading" 4 babies! What a feat! So, I was wondering...did you purchase anything? And if you did, do you just let the quad-lets hold the items? I know you're SuperWoman, but it would be near impossible to steer the Runabout and a shopping cart at the same time.<BR/>Great e-Venting!<BR/><BR/>Moni GrafMoni Grafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729193377794783380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487248148560087705.post-16740704902455995012008-06-03T19:10:00.000-05:002008-06-03T19:10:00.000-05:00i love your blog!!! i live in houston too so i kno...i love your blog!!! i live in houston too so i know how you feel when you go out and about.... but its twice as hard for you.The Synnott'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604157855499816854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487248148560087705.post-61719301681363418662008-06-03T17:46:00.000-05:002008-06-03T17:46:00.000-05:00Eventually we can put your kiddos in umbrella stro...Eventually we can put your kiddos in umbrella strollers, take all 7 of our kids to Target, and give each one of mine a stroller.

To have her "breathing down your back" while assuring the safety of your kids is ridiculous. Glad you could laugh about it though.
