Gone In Sixty Seconds

Okay, it took a few hours, much longer than sixty seconds. My kids are all set for school, clothes-wise, that is. They are going to look so cute! I swear, it's almost like playing with dolls. I tell them what to put on, and they're so excited about all this new cute stuff, they put it on and prance around like little supermodels. Freakin' adorable I tell you.
I was thrifty at first. I went to a cute little resale store in town, and bought a bunch of stuff for $45. There was no fitting-room, so I made the girls try stuff on behind a chair. We were the only customers in the store, so the kids didn't freak out too much. The lady who owned the shop gave me a funny look, but I told her I wasn't buying anything unless it was tried on, due to a 'No Refunds' policy.

Then we went to Target, where I started out very annoyed by the security guard checking out my girlfriend, but I got over it two hundred dollars and ninety three cents later.
A quick $37 dollars at JC Penneys and a $20 stop at Claire's Boutique, and all was done!

Whew, am I tired! And you know something? I think I enjoy shopping for my children more than for myself...maybe.
