Shopping

After a cooped-up rainy weekend that we girls spent cleaning, we enjoyed some shopping tonight since Josh was off. I almost panicked yesterday when I looked at Aliyah's closet and realized that she has barely ANY long sleeved shirts and NOTHING as far as things for church for fall/winter...and I mean NOTHING! In fact, if I factored in all of the shirts that were size 3 & 4 that there were, she probably only had 3 or 4 in the correct size (she's 6 but can wear smaller clothes). I guess if I could bank on it being warm here in Illinois (haha), we would be fine. A trip to Gymboree was in order since I had a 20% off coupon. It was quite a profitable trip since the most expensive item that I got was only $10.79 and it was a skirt. I got several shirts for like $5.79. Now c'mon people...big "W" isn't even that cheap or that cute! Not only that, but it was earn the Gymbucks time!
We also took a trip to Target. We didn't go for anything specific, however we found several items that we anticipated buying on clearance!! My towel bar for the bath was on clearance, and we got a triple rod kit thing for our huge window. I am very excited about this one...we put it up just a few minutes ago. It allowed us to have sheers which I hadn't used before, but had in my closet. The reason we hadn't used them before was because we couldn't find a rod that would fit within the angles with the other windows--this one worked!! It was on clearance for $14.78 and I'm thrilled with it since it looks GREAT!
Following Target, we went to pick up a few things at Sears. We ended up at K-Mart to see if they had a trampoline that was in their ad. They were $80 cheaper than big "W". K-Mart had it in stock (surprise) and now the girls have the trampoline that they wanted for their birthday--using their b-day $$. I think we'll put that together on the weekend (Josh will during my garage sale).
All in all, it was an fun evening and there was much laughter and just lots of fun being all together. I love them so much!! I am blessed!
