3/12/11 – Family Shopping Day!

Today started off like normal. The girls actually slept a tad later than usual, which was nice. Christian shipped up a yummy, breakfast for us, Amelia scarffed down TWO “jars” of fruit, we hung out playing for a while. It was just a nice, quiet, family morning. Nothing better than that!

During nap time I pulled out Amelia’s “new” wardrobe…she is finally moving up to 6-9 month clothing. Her tops still fit fine, but her pants are become high waters, more and more every day, so it’s time to move up. I was all excited, thinking we’d be pretty set since she has been staying in each sizing longer than necessary…but NOPE. All of our 6-9 month clothing is SUMMER stuff. Seriously, at least 95% of it won’t work, and it’s highly unlikely she’ll ever wear it since we don’t really get true summer weather until the end of June at least. So frustrating. So, we’ll be making a trip to the mall soon. The spending…it never ends!

We managed to get in some showers and get ready for the day while the girls were still napping. Once they were up, we were on our way for a family Target shopping trip. The girls did really well at the store, Amelia even stayed in her car seat the entire time! YAY for progress. We loaded up our groceries, we picked up a few sale 6-9 months clothing items and were on our way home. We decided that even though we had a nice stock of fresh new food, we were not in the mood to cook tonight, so Christian ran to pick up some yummy Chinese food and we settled in for the night. Ate, watched some TV…just the usual Saturday night in our house! We even managed to get baths and bed time routines done in a very timely manner…I thought FOR SURE I was going to catch Saturday Night Live…but nope. Christian passed out, which just makes me want to pass out, so we again, did not make it past the evening news. Losers.

Here is a sweet picture I snapped of Olivia today. I just love this picture!
