Saturday we took off for some shopping. Mattie had a few birthday gift cards burning a hole in her pocket and D had promised the girls some ice cream. Soooo....we took of to Legends and had Stone Cold Creamery for dessert at 10:43 am (before lunch). Then we headed to Books-A-Million where I totally enjoyed watching Mattie make her selections and purchasing books with a gift card. Caroline still had some money left from her birthday gift card and she bought a new Webkinz. Derick and I also bought books (and, since I skipped the ice-cream, I got a great SF Latte).
Our third stop was Target. We hit the jackpot in the kid's clothing section. Both girls got much-needed jeans and sweat-type pants. Caroline even got a new "everyday" coat since she had been wearing Mattie's worn-out old one this fall. Mattie spent more birthday money on a new DS game while I perused the Christmas section. Then, home for football and homemade pizza. Roll Tide and Go Air Force. A good football day!
Sunday, we enjoyed a lazy morning before church, birthday cake at a friend's house and (for me) handbell rehearsal in the evening. Now we are waiting to see if it really is going to SNOW!
PS--I got lots of Christmas shopping done, too!
I can't wait till I can give weekend updates that include my entire little family!
