This pic is from our wonderful 'Zoo Day' at the Portland Zoo with the children. It was a wonderfully cool, relaxing day. Much unlike my horridly hot, frantic evening of clothes shopping this evening.
We hit K-Mart. The clothes are 'buy one - get one 1/2 off' and I have 3 little ones that have all hit growth spurts this summer. And as I am the 'Lay-A-Way Queen' of the Flathead...the idea was a good one - until it was in the middle of execution.
Ben is in the 'in the middle' of sizes. I had chosen all the pants, shirts, dresses, outfits, coats, socks, underwear etc...then had the children try some of them one - just to be sure...
Tough for Ben...I wasn't able to purchase all I had chosen and the back and forth from the fitting rooms and boys section was a harried experience with Ryan's attention being done and Kimmie bouncing, bouncing and Ben just being done...
Then to back packs and lunch boxes...I will do school supplies and shoes later this week...thankfully the clerk was patient and good humored...and patient with me when I questioned numerous times about the pricing showing up 'buy one - get one 1/2 off'...but in the end...it was a real bargain...and I very grateful that the kids are still little enough that they don't care about name brands and such...
Aaannnd thank you Jesse and Jasmine for hanging with us to get it all done...
On another note...we are showing our house in the early afternoon - I will not be able to be here to get the house ready - having to be at work...say a prayer that my children are able to sparkle and shine their home...
I love Sundays, I love the end of summer, I love life...
