Orange Colored Glasses

I gave away my original stroller when the twins came along and we upgraded to a double stroller.  We definitely got out money’s worth out of that sucker.  To say it was well worn would be an understatement.  Once, I had just washed the seat covers and a lady stopped me at the park to tell me that you can take those off and wash them.  I pretended to be surprised by that news.

I suppose after R turned 2 and the girls turned 3 (their birthdays are just a few weeks apart) I started using the cheapy umbrella stroller for R and the girls walked like big brother G.  It was actually nice not having to maneuver a bus through narrow doorways and aisles.  Again, because we are on the go a LOT, that stroller took a beating and one day the seat straps broke.  I NEED a restraining mechanism stroller for my wild child, so I ran to Wal Mart and grabbed one that was cheap and looked like it would do the job.  After all, he won’t be in one much longer, right?

I had that thing for about a week when I realized it was a complete waste.  Granted, I SHOULD have taken it back, but I am really, really lazy when it comes to that sort of thing.  I hate the hassle and when I weigh getting a refund vs. getting the kids dressed, ready and loaded up to go to WAL MART (of all places), well, the refund didn’t matter so much anymore.

I told Hubby we needed a new stroller.  I meant to go get one when we were out, but our time ran out and the meltdowns were coming, so I needed to come home early.

My Hubby is so thoughtful.  He decided to take care of the situation for me.  Sweet, huh?  He came home with this.  He has a slight addiction to all things related to Clemson.  You should see all of the orange in his closet.  It’s truly his favorite color.

Guess who pushes the stroller 95% of the time?  That’s right, this girl here.  Yippee.  I’m soooo thrilled.
