A shopping day . . .

but surprisingly enough, it was a very good day! I know all the Moms out there know what I mean. Isn't it amazing how you can take the exact same children out the week before and they are well, terrors, and then the next week they are complete angels? :) It might have had something to do with a slight bribe of a cookie while I was bargain shopping at Walgreens. Some might call that wrong but I consider it "going into Mom Survival Mode." It worked like a dream, while we waited for our pizza to be made at Papa Murphy's Pizza, we marched next door and purchased a half dozen of snickerdoodles! They were sooooo good!

Earlier in the day we went to the mall and the clearance racks were calling my name. It's so hard for me to resist good deals on little girls clothes, they are just so cute! I found an adorable white and pastel-colored dress marked down to $12.00, I pulled it out and showed Brianna. Her response was, "It looks like a wedding dress!" I told her it would be a long time before she needed one of those and she said, "Yeah, we'll wait until next week when I'll be all grown up!" I know it will seem like only a week has gone by the time we get to that day, but I'm ever so grateful that we have at least 20 yrs! (if I have anything to say about it :)

* I must add that even though I wanted to buy that adorable dress for Brianna, I didn't. She has so many perfectly good hand-me-downs from her cousin that I just couldn't justify it. (I was mightly tempted though!)
