This Week...

...I took Wednesday off and went into the Cities to take A. shopping. Hard to believe that she will be a senior this year - AAACCKKKK! We hit Old Navy first and after a slow start, we found some cute stuff. A. got a 3/4 length plum shirt with a tank to go under it and a pair of brown pants. We found some shoes at Payless to match - she's looking very good! I think she could do a senior picture in that outfit. We both got striped polos (only $7.50 each!) and A. got some other shirts. I think we left there with lots of stuff and only spent $60. Then on to Payless and FamousFootwear (where I found 2 pair of shoes, but will need to return them because they are too big). Heading back to the car, I couldn't find my key anywhere. When we got there, there it sat on the passenger seat on our bag from Old Navy. OMG! A. went around to the driver's side and for whatever reason, it was unlocked and we could get in! Thank goodness! Then it was off to California Pizza Kitchen for a California CLub pizza - YUM! We went to Lane Bryant next. We found tons of stuff for A. - she got several t-shirts (a bit more dressy than her normal t-shirts), a pair of jeans (stone washed - not the really light ones she normally wears and they are much more flattering). Then we found a nice black dress shirt. And lastly, I found a red tank that we layered a white tank with red and silver stars over, then added a denim jacket - so adorable! We didn't buy the denim jacket, but have coupons for Sept. that we'll use to get that. I told her she HAS to wear that outfit for her pics she wants taken at the ranch for her srn. pics - she looked awesome! I even made her try on a headband! She said "you're gonna turn me into girl!" Yah - and a pretty one at that if she can wear something besides faded jeans and big, baggy t-shirts all the time! All in all, the total was $260, but with all the discounts and the gift card I had, I only spent $140 - woohoo!!
