Shop Til You DROP ~ or Run Out of Money!

And run out of money these 2 did!

Tuesday, I took the day off and mary dalton & whitney sue skipped school ~

We headed for a "Girl's Day" in Augusta ~ They woke up early, dressed in their "justice" clothes, put on make up and requested a side braid for the outing!

1st stop ~

TARGET!!!

They bought matching PJs for PJ day at school, WS got an elf on the shelf, MDD got fingernails, lipstick, and lotion! I LOVE this pic. of them counting their money! MD worked for 3 weeks to earn extra money for this special day!
I ran to Old Navy and they found the coloring table and had a great time coloring while I looked around ~ it was SO nice to have WS along to keep MD entertained ~ and so strange not to hear my 2 arguing ~ Jackson is NOT a fan of shopping to say the least!

They had a list of 19 stores they wanted to go to ~ #3 on the list was Bath & Body Works!

They each got a bath set here! They LOVED getting receipts! And let me tell you ~ before dance they showered and were smelling ALL sorts of wonderful! :)

They chose to eat at The Chop House ~ they both ordered ribs and were SUCH little ladies!

They were just PRECIOUS!

One of my fav. quotes

"Whitney! Don't walk near my mama, we don't want people to know she DROVE us here!"
ha!

we spent FOOORRREEEVVVVEEERRRR in Justice!

That is where the majority of the shopping took place!

MDD bought a towel wrap for her hair, charms for her bracelet, lipstick, and some other goodies!
She was SO sweet to buy her other girlfriends some candy to share with them at school on Wednesday!

After Justice, we went to Gymboree (but who KNEW that MD & WS were "too big" for that store, GAP, Children's Place, Crazy 8, Handpicked, Brookstone & Yankee Candle"

Then to CLAIRES we went!

They each purchased a MOST lovely rainbow hair extension that they wore to dance!

We headed over to build a bear ~

but these 2 were running LOW on cash! No purchases here, just looking!

MDD said ~
"Who knew shopping could be so much work! I am worn out!"

I had to go to HH Greg and look at something for Dalton ~ these 2 had a BLAST!

they picked out what they wanted for their apartment in college ~ they picked a fridge, washer and drier, TV and stove ~ and let me say...these 2 have EXPENSIVE taste! They better be SUPER cute and sweet and hook someone with deep pockets! ha!

After all that shopping, we needed some ice cream!

A quick stop at Bruster's before we headed home!

I had SUCH a good time with these 2! They were SO excited and they both hugged me and thanked me for taking them!

mary dalton said,

"Mama, this was one of the best days of my life"

And I agree ~ it was one of my best days too! I am so fortunate for my sweet girl and the special time we had together! I am excited about many more to come!

**They both said "Can we do this everytime our class goes on a field trip?" Oh how I wish! :)
