top of the list and NEVER again

Barnes and Noble is officially at the top of my s*#t list.  It's supposed to be a book store.  A nice, quiet place for me to be able to take my kids after having been homebound by a blizzard for 2 days without having to engage in our usual shopping fight about wanting and not buying toys.  Unfortunately, Barnes and Noble has decided that I need to be having this fight with Cayden absolutely everywhere we go and as a result has added a section of expensive toys (mostly trains).  SO NOT COOL!  I get that the toys go along with some of the books but seriously?  SERIOUSLY!?!  Now a nice trip to the book store with my kids quickly turns into a miserable 10 minutes with Harper wanting to get out of my arms and play while Cayden screams and cries the whole way back out of the store because I won't buy him the $30 train car.  Anyone out there who has had a child have a complete meltdown in public knows the kind of dirty looks you get from all of the strangers around you watching the meltdown play out as you threaten to leave the store without them if they don't follow you right this minute.  I swear I am not going to take my kids there again until they are in high school.
