Day One of Spring Break: Oh...My...Lord...
I'm a bit shell shocked, I forgot how
Since Em and Ally are 5 years old, I thought they'd appreciate picking out their own clothes. Oh no... Em didn't like what Ally liked but they refused to buy different outfits so they ended up with one T-shirt each (same style, one purple, one pink). I will buy their swimsuits without their input at a later date.
Zach's shopping style I like:
"Zach do you want a Spiderman T-shirt?"
-"Okay."
"Black shorts?"
-"Okay."
"These sandals?"
-"Okay."
Kyle picked out a cute surfer "orange-in" shirt, he has a ton of hand-me-downs from Zach and really doesn't need anything. Kelly happily accepted whatever I handed her while dumping out the contents of my purse. I'm now 83 cents poorer. The stop at Michael's craft store was quick, I only went in for one item (Sizzix Tag Die). Shopping with 5 kids keeps me way under my monthly scrapbook supply budget, no browsing or impulse buying allowed.
Grocery shopping went better than expected but then again, I had a list so it was mostly zipping through the aisles and tossing stuff into the cart. I let the kids pick out a box of Eggos so that kept them quiet through the candy, err check out lane. Oh and Kyle found a Sponge Bob bouncy ball somewhere and I had to buy it to avoid the melt down of the century. *sigh* All the old people commenting on the kids I could do without though. Yes I know there are five of them, yes they are mine (is anyone else in the world dumb enough to shop with 5 kids besides their mom?), yes they are twins, yes they are close in age, yes I'm a lucky mom to have such cute kids (said while gritting my teeth as Kyle opened a bag of Goldfish crackers). I think I need to ask Greg to schedule his business trips around my shopping trips. hehe
Now where's the vodka?
