Old Navy is having a huge clearance that Megan and I stumbled on a few days ago. Her aunt Tara had given the older kids Old Navy gift cards so we went to use them and found some very good deals. Megan walked off with having spent only $7! Yesterday, Becca did the same with a new pair of sandals for the summer, shirt and gloves. Katherine, well as she put it, "feels the teenage blood for shopping cursing through her veins," what a drama queen! She went thru two gift cards! One from her aunt and one from uncle Geoffrey from three years ago! She got two pairs of pants, two sweaters, two tank tops, two turtleneck shirts and a t-shirt. She was so proud...the total was $47 and some change! I picked up a pair of shoes, slippers and a fleece jacket for Stephen for $11 and Kimberly I got a sleeper for $6--softest thing I've ever felt, 4 pairs of socks for 24 cents a piece, a hat for 1.49, tights for Megan for 1.49 and a knit dress that wasn't on sale, but was $16. I just love a deal!
The neighbor across the street spent the night with Rebecca on Sunday since they didn't have school on Monday. She ended up being over the whole day on Monday as well. Very sweet girl and gets along well with everyone. Sunday night we had both kids from across the street over for dinner as they'd been playing for hours here. I happened to have enough food for an army (for once), so the kids just invited them to stay. Afterwards, Stephen attempted to sleep over with Taylor from across the street, but that 9:30 phone call was him begging to come home. I wasn't sure it would happen anyway since he's really never stayed anywhere except with his best friend Raymond in Shreveport. He stayed one weekend with some friends of mine that have a ton of boys, but when I picked him up from that he cried for hours about us leaving him there for too long. He just likes his own stuff and even though he won't admit it...his family as well.
Well, I hear Kimberly stirring/screaming. I'm so glad that child finally decided to sleep past 6am! Now it is more like 7:30 or 8 that she usually wakes up.
Many blessings to everyone today!
