Today was a long day! We went school shopping. Our daughter and I headed out before mass to check a store for sneakers. After trying on 5 pairs of sneakers, she chose 2 pair. Great - check sneakers off her list. We also found 5 tops while there. We meet before mass and all of us attended mass. Kids were very good but hungry so we stopped for lunch and then drove to the mall. The big guy went home to work on a woodworking project. I’ll have to write about that because I have beautiful tables in our house that he has made. We started at Sears for pants for the little guy. We bought 4 pair ~ they were on sale! He also picked out one shirt so we purchased that. Off to another store to get the little lady some jeans. Jeans that fit her perfectly and I don’t have to cut 6 inches off and hem. She found all that she needed and a top too! Add three shirts for the little guy, a 15% off total purchase coupon and we all left with a smile on our face. Last stop to look at lunch sacks. They both found one and we picked up themed ice packs for them (splurge)! We made it home and almost 100% of our school shopping is done. Just need to get the little guy some sneakers.
I enjoyed the time alone with our little girl - not so little as she turns 8 in two weeks. Watching both kids get excited about clothes and to see what catches their fancy, is interesting. They both are very particular and know what they want. I should be thankful as that makes shopping easier. Today, our daughter went outside her box, she is growing up, and decided to purchase two pairs of flare jeans! The little guy, anything that falls within a football theme, is what he wants.
What a day and I hate clothes shopping!
