It’s the Sunday before Spring Break and I’m super spent. We’re going on an awesome vacation for the whole week that the kids have off! It’s gonna be sunny and oceany and awesome! But I realized a couple of weeks ago that we hadn’t done any of the kids’ “warm weather clothes” shopping.
So, of course, instead of doing the shopping here and there over the course of those couple of weeks… we did it ALL yesterday!
To be fair, the girls spent last weekend with their dad, and taking people clothes shopping after school is basically impossible. Also, I’m definitely not going to deliberately tiptoe through the minefield known as “buying teenagers clothes in their absence”. (I will absolutely buy the first grader clothes without even asking him. He still doesn’t care, as long as it has a cool picture on it.)
So, yesterday looked like this:
- Take the cub to swim lessons
- Take the twins to meet their friend for a movie
- Take the middle child clothes and sandal shopping
- Take twins sandal shopping, but only find sandals for one of them
- Take cub to Target so he can buy some Pokemon cards
- Late Lunch
- Take middle child swimsuit shopping
- Take twins clothes/sandals/swimsuit shopping
- Dinner
We actually made dinner! Usually, days like this result in ordering pizza or Indian food or tacos. But we made a homemade, breaded tilapia with broccoli and mashed potatoes! Okay, fine… the mashed potatoes were instant ones from a bag. I’m okay with that.
Also, we did it all in one day! Which is great when you say it enthusiastically, but also… we did it all in one day. Now I’m tired even though I slept pretty well and I’ve had plenty of food and water. And we still have grocery shopping and laundry and oven cleaning to do.
Definitely looking forward to that vacation!
