Shopping with Caitlin

We took the kids to Old Navy tonight because they were having a sale on jeans and both kids really need some. Of course, the adjustable waist jeans in Conall's size were so baggy on him that it was ridiculous. On the other hand, the adjustable waist jeans in Caitlin's size fit great. They only had three in her size, so I bought all three. Grandma says Kohl's is having a sale, so I think we'll head there next for Conall -- so far, he's had to have the Levi's brand slim fit adjustable waist jeans in order to get the length he needs and to allow him to keep his pants up! I'm washing his jeans every other day, so I hope we find some more soon and that they are on sale (Levi's are so expensive).

I got sidetracked. The reason I'm writing the post is to tell you a funny story about Caitlin. She loved the shopping trip. While I hunted for the right size jeans, she found a pair of golden/taupe colored ballet style flat shoes. She wondered over to the next wrack and found a purse her size in coordinating colors. We had to carry both to the dressing room and back out, with the purse on her arm. She is so girly sometimes that it is scary. I'm afraid she'll be one of those girls who has to have everything she's wearing coordinate, which translates to expensive!

Update: Stu reminded me that after she had picked out her shoes and purse, Caitlin went over to where daddy and Conall were playing football in the store with a few other boys. Caitlin played football, too. She is definitely her own type of girl!

I just noticed the "Label" section in the blog. I love it! Is it new or have I just been missing it?
Anyway, I love the new design. It looks great. Keep up the hard work Mommy, you're doing a fantastic job!!!
Love you guys,
Amy

It isn't new, but I just figured out this week how to use it. I like how it sorts things by key words. For example, while at dad's, I could just pull up all the links with the key word "slide show" and then show him how to use the slide shows.
