Sister Shopping

I'm home.  All day.  It's been a busy, busy week.  Nonstop driving, visiting, shopping, laughing, crying, eating, driving some more, eating lots more.....

I went shopping with DeAnn yesterday.  We're really obnoxious when we shop or really do anything together (ie: McDonalds story)....we never cease to make a scene.  And it's never on purpose.  I think we had the poor Old Navy checkout girl broken out in a sweat by the time we were finished with her yesterday.  Nate watched the kids while we went to Down East.  Our plan was to stop at Down East, then head up to Park City so I could get jeans at the Gap outlet.  Have you been to Down East?  Did you know that at the back, there is a shelf behind the clearance rack that is stuffed full of jeans?  All under $20?  Hidden treasure.  Snagged a pair of Lucky jeans for $17.50 and a pair of American Eagle jeans for $12.50.  We were there for over an hour, I think.  I'm sure the sales girl thought we'd never leave.  We finally did.  And I was giddy....got 2 pair jeans and 3 shirts for $60.  We bailed on Park City, went home to "regroup"....and repeated the fun at Old Navy.  Sister Shopping is the best.  I love you DeAnn!  I hope your loot fits in your suitcase.  Still think you should have bought the $7 jeans.....

My plans today include:
Bathing the children....they're sticky and smelly and Roo's hair looks like Vienna's...a rats nest!!
Laundry, laundry, laundry.....
Change bed sheets.
Scrub kitchen floor.
Work on new budget.
Get rid of the piles and piles of clutter that accumlate in every inch of this apartment.  Drives me crazy.
Take the kids outside because it's gorgeous out there.
Try not to eat all the 2 dozen pb/oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies I baked last night.
Do I dare attempt Walmart?  I don't think so.


What's on your to-do list?

I love sister shopping! Something about it just brings out the inner kid in you. Do you remember when we went to Hannibal and my parents took all the babies so we could all go around to the little shops? That was so fun...we almost got kicked out of some of the shops, haha.

The only thing on my to do list is figure out how to get me some of those yummy cookies you baked!

Come on over Ash! Anytime! We can bake them next time while all of our kids play!

You made me want to go shopping with my sister! And on my to do list today...keep the kids alive. I keep my expectations low, that way anything else I accomplish feels like a bonus! :D

Missing your blog this week. Trying to crawl out of my funk.

And, your post caught my eye b/c of my sister, Caroline. Sisters are the best.

Sounds like you found a fab place for shopping!

Blake and I skied Park City when we lived in Texas. Loved it. Great people.
