My day...

I got up early this morning. By early, I mean 7am. Took a quick shower, went to some yard sales and by 8:30, we ran into one of Julia's old classmates. They were having a yard sale and her mom asked if Julia and Cameron could stay so her daughters would have something to do. Heck yeah!!! Of course!!! So we left them there and went to some more yard sales for a couple of hours. I got some clothes for Cameron and some tennis shoes for both of the kids. They were only $1.00 a pair and like brand new. I'm having a hard time finding clothes to fit Julia. She's so tall but super skinny. I got her a pair of Capri's today from work. (Keep in mind, she's 8 years old.) They were a size 5 and fit her wonderfully. My problem is when she can't wear capri's when it gets cold and she actually has to wear long pants. We have to get at least a 7 or an 8 for the length but she can pull them down without even trying over her hips because they are so big. The 6's are about 2-4 inches too short, usually. I have a couple pairs of jeans that have the adjustable waist. I think they are 7 slims. But even at that, she can't wear those EVERY day! LOL! Oh well. If anyone runs upon any 7 or 8 slims that look super tiny, please let me know!
It will make getting ready for school in the morning much easier.
Oops, I just went off on a tangent. ANYWAY!
After picking up the kiddos, we went to Cozumel's for lunch. For all 4 of us, the total was barely $20. I'm very proud of our minimal spending at this meal. :)
We came home, I put the kids in "Studio G" (the garage) and set them up with the Nintendo. I came in and took about a 2 1/2 hour nap. Whew! I am feeling pretty good now. My neighbor across the street invited me to come over and have a beer or two with him this evening while he's putting up his fence. (Since he needs someone to tell him how to actually do it. LOL!) Plus his wife is about 9 months pregnant and about to pop any minute! I can't wait to see that little thing. They are naming him Xavier Paul. Enough rambling this evening...I better get to cleaning!

I didn't go to my neighbors...it was just too hot and there were too many skeeters. LOL! I will have to check out the Gap jeans. They seem to fit her the best. Thanks for mentioning that.
