Every year, Jason goes on a road trip with friends to attend an MSU basketball game. This year they went to a losing game against Northwestern...sucks to be them....us girls had fun!
On Saturday morning, I took the girls to gymnastics and then out for lunch with my mom and Gerry. But the whole time, Sydney only had one thing on her mind...Justice. The day before, a catalog for Justice game in the mail advertising a major sale. Sydney had been begging me to take her there. On Friday, I kept saying "maybe", which as she knows, usually turns into "yes". So, after lunch, we went to Justice and put a little dent in my wallet. Oh, backtracking really quick...that morning before gymnastics, Sydney came downstairs with her purse telling me she had money to buy some things at Justice. She actually has quite a bit of money in her bank in her room, but she came down with six one dollar bills. I told her that she really couldn't buy very much with that. She said, "that's alright, I want to save my big bills, so I'll just give you these ones. I wasn't planning on buying very much, but everything was just so darn cute on her, that I caved. I usually buy their clothes at mom-to-mom sales, so I figured that I owed it to her to pick out a few things that she liked. And of course I couldn't leave Lizzy out who was running around the store like a crazy person. The clothes are too big for her there so she got a package of Squinkies...she loves those silly little toys!! The rest of the day, the kids had fun playing with each other, and Sydney tried on a lot of her new clothes and put on a fashion show...we had fun just hanging out.
On Sunday, I was planning on just relaxing and going nowhere. But when all the kids wanted to do was play in the snow, I had to come up with something because this girl just does NOT like winter! I'll save the cold winter outdoor activities for Jason!! So we met my mom and Gerry at Siegel's Deli where I had my favorite meal...bagels and lox! Then we went to Target and came home with lots of things we didn't need. The girls each got to pick out something from the dollar spot...can anyone ever get out of that store without making a stop at the dollar spot? I know I can't! Then, the girls talked me into buying them some new heart bowls for their cereal. By that time, I couldn't even remember why I went into the store in the first place (which was to look for a Kindle Fire case for me...which they didn't have), so we bought things to make cupcakes and went home and started baking. The kids had a lot of fun, and now we have enough cupcakes to feed an army, and I have a feeling I'm going to be the only member of the army and gain quite a few pounds. The rest of the day we just played and did a few puzzles, and then I shipped Sydney off to Gerry's house (of course my mom was there too) to spend the night since she had no school on Monday for Martin Luther King day! Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow, but I had a fun weekend with my girls, but it seemed like a whirlwind, and I could definitely use a rest!!
