Shop Til' You Drop

Saturday after Braedon's final basketball game we went up to Idaho Falls to look around. We wanted to look at Furniture Row for some couches and things. The kids found a little bit of everything they 'thought' they needed. Needless to say we came out empty handed this time. (We will go back) Then we went to Old Navy to 'look'. Well that is one store I don't just 'look' in very well. Shane and the boys went to Best Buy and Taelor, my mom and I went to Old Navy. Taelor found everything and I mean everything she NEEDED to buy!!! She is walking around the store holding up shirts to skirts and finding leggings to go under them and sparkly shoes to complete the ensemble. We had a skirt, one dress, two shirts in my hand when Shane came back. Well then the boys needed something so they find their shorts and shirt. By then Taelor had found a swimming suit that she just had to have!!! She is under the rack on the shelf crying,"You never get me anything, all I want is this one thing and I know you won't get it for me." My mind and Shane's mind work a little differently when it comes to Taelor. I think get your grouchy little butt up you just got some outfits and now your complaining. I should put these back!!! Shane goes over and he tries to reason with her. Why do you want that? It is kind of a lot of money how about we find something else? Do you like this? Well while he is trying to reason with the crying kid in the girls clothes the boys are ready to leave. Grab her and lets go they keep saying. I thought the same thing but Shane was still trying to help her out so I went to try on some pants. I come out and they are still deciding. The boys are in the hall resting on couches by now. Finally the little Diva decides on two more shirts. Then we pay the bill and we are out of there finally!! Now everyone is hungry but we still have to go to Michael's because Dawson and I have gift cards we NEED to spend!! ;0) I find what I am looking for and Dawson is now the one searching for just the right craft things to buy. He has his arms full and my mom is carrying one and he still thinks he needs more. I convince him he doesn't need to spend his whole card, we will come back I still have money on mine too. So we leave and go to dinner. By then they are all grouchy and hungry and want to go home. To make things even better Braedon was at a sleep over the night before and stayed up till 3 am. I am not going to lie....THE BOY NEEDS HIS SLEEP!!! WE finally eat and get back to the car so they can watch a movie and the car ride can be a quiet as possible. AHHHHH peace.......... Shopping is fun but I am not so sure it is fun with 3 kids that are tired and spoiled!! What have I done!!! OH well I am not sending them back where they came from so I guess I will deal with each of them and their respective attitudes. I love them anyway!!! One of the outfits so badly needed!! (It is really CUTE!!)

I don't know what I would rather go through...your saturday or my monday! I was chuckling as I read your story too. I would have let my kids starve and ride home without a movie. Cause I am THAT MEAN! (my 2 yr old just hasn't learned that yet)
