Back to School Already


It back to school time and that means SHOPPING!!  That's not an exclamation of excitement, but one more of fright, my girls were definitely tired of waiting for it.  It had been two weeks of waiting and finally the day came we went down to Grandma's in  Salt lake and they got to go shopping.  The dreaded hours of dragging girls away from clothes that were two expensive or not appropriate for school attire or just out of the question.  That would be the 4" high, metallic blue and silver, hoochie heals(not pictured) Daughters 2 & 3  thought they just had to have.  Let my 8 year old get heals like that?  yeah right.  All in all I think we did alright, but I need a better plan.   B didn't get any pants, C didn't get shoes and we ended up with an extra pair of pants that belonged to no one.  Good thing Old Navy is returnable.  If any of you have a good way to take 5 girls (mine plus 2 cousins) shopping in an organized fashion I would love to hear it.  I think I need to just break it down and take one at a time.  Or enlist some help next time.

Grandma did take them all another day and the girls scored in the pants department.  Thanks mom for treating them to a special day.
