Shopped Friday, Saturday Chatter

The kids and I were out a good part of yesterday. I had built up $75 in Gym Bucks from Gymboree and this week is the time to redeem them. The kids and I went to the mall, which usually I dread. We had talks before we left the house, in the car on the way, and on the way into the mall walking together- they WERE going to be good. I don't know what's got into them that they think it's appropriate to run about in public like they were on the playground. You know, they DON'T play like that outside or on the playground!

So we had lunch first, they had Chick Fil A and I wanted to try out the new Mexican Grill "Wholly Moly". WOW! I got a chicken burrito (about 3/4 size of what we get in regular Mexican restauarants), a side of spanish rice, refried beans (that had more whole beans in it like I like, too), a personal size order of chips and salsa (YUM! Watch out! the salsa has a definiate KICK!), AND! a medium sized drink .... all for the grand total of $5.25! I was very impressed. I wish the mall was closer to us, we would eat there after church on Sundays instead of our regular Mexican spot, lol!!

After we ate I got my traditional Gloria Jeans Cafe Mocha, and on the way to Gymboree downstairs we got Jackson's drink refill and Hannah went to the bathroom, of course. We got to the store and YAY! They're getting fall items in. I was concerned cause both kids have more than enough summer items now.

I ended up buying Hannah two dresses for next year, some capri pants that will work for her well into the fall, another pair of skorts, I broke and got a regular priced item, a sweater top / dress that requires a collared shirt underneath it. "Apples" is the theme right now ;) So she has a pair of white (winter) tights with apples down the leg, some apple ponytail bands, blue hair barettes to go with the striped tights I got, so when I go back she can get the striped dress.

I scored Jackson two pairs of pants that will be great for church or errands this fall. He needs church pants now, so this worked. Last time we shopped I was informed of the fact pants have to fall just short of your toes on your shoes to look right. So I got it right this time ;O) Of course, I come home with a massive headache.

So what's going on today?
I want to find my couch. I didn't find it Thursday though I got a LOT of laundry done. So while I'm not washing today, I'm folding, hanging, and putting away. If I do nothing else today, I want to get that done. The kids and Jay went to MILs to visit for a while. He's supposed to call me to let me know if we're getting together for dinner tonight or not. Thursday was his brother's bday, and yesterday was that brother's wife's bday. Mine is the 30th, so this would be a good a weekend as any to celebrate together since we don't get to see them often.

Oh, and one more thing. I realized the other night, I spelled my blog title wrong when I created the URL for my blog! Yep, look up there. "Whimsies", is not spelled "Whimisies"! So, I'll continue to blog here for the time being,but I'm trying to figure out what to do. I have an idea, so stay tuned ;O)
