Baby or No Baby?

So we had a pretty hectic Saturday and ended up dragging all the kiddos to the grocery store for some fun "family time!"  Things were actually going well considering we had all five of the crazies with us. As we were walking down the isles, Hannah was running up to people, saying hi, being her usual energetic self! I must admit I was laughing at the things she was saying to the people we would pass. All of the sudden there was a nice "grandmotherly" looking woman that Hannah saw and took off towards. I was interested to see what she would say. My amusement quickly turned to horror as Hannah ran up and patted her tummy and with a huge smile said "Oh you have a baby in your tummy!" Coward that I am, I quickly started walking away, pointing out to Evan that he was on Hannah duty! He was pretty quick to catch on to what was happening and intervened, trying to smooth things over. Not knowing how the sweet lady was really feeling, I was sure to avoid her for the rest of our grocery trip. But as luck would have it, she was leaving the store the same time as we were. Evan was behind me so I couldn't disappear again! She came up and said, "oh there is that cute little girl that I would love to take home with me!"   Phewsh... I gave a quick sigh of relief that she at least laughed about the whole thing, but I was quick to tell her that while we love Hannah, she sure keeps us on our toes. She smiled and laughed and said she could see how we could feel that way. Hannah gave her a big smile and then we made a hasty exit to our car and locked the kids away where we could all be a little safer!! As Evan and I were talking about that adventure on the way home, I asked him what he said to the lady. He laughed and said he told her "don't worry, she says the same thing to me all the time!" Nice one Ev....
