Let me just say...

Never go Christmas shopping in holiday green valour pants when it is raining. I love valour so much. I have cut down how much I wear it but I figured we would shopping for hours and I wanted to be comfy. Let me just say it was not raining when I got dressed. I was NOT dressed for rain at all. My coat was not water resistant I did not have a hood. I had an umbrella with me but I hate using umbrellas. My pants are almost to big so they are a little long flowy and got wet. It was pouring rain through our whole shopping trip.

We left the girls with Cindy. So from 1:30pm tell 7:30 pm when we picked the girls up we shopped in the rain. I had to clean my glasses every time we got in a store and every time we got back in the car. We even had to unload the car before picking up the girls. Not that we had that many presents but my mom is getting the girls a trampoline for Christmas and it was so big it filled up the whole back seat. Let me just say that Cindy needs an award for watching the girls yesterday... Emily was missing us calling us saying we were taking to long. Umm hello we are buying YOU presents. Be quite. Ashley got sprinkles in her eye and her eye hurt. At 6:30pm Ashley got a blanket and pillow and said she was going to bed. She did not really but she was tired. Chloe was happy but she does not talk only grunts, she is 29.8 lbs, 18 months on Friday. Cindy carries her every where. Crazy I know. Cindy probably weighs 70lbs more then Chloe. Any way the girls were in rare form for Cindy. So thank you Cindy. We got almost everything DONE!!

It was fun shopping in the maddness with just Michael. I really want a small zip around car for moments like this in Cool Springs with rain and holiday traffic. But a small car is unrealistic for us... We never ventured into the mall but we did everything else Toys R Us, Learning Express, Brilliant Sky(sucked), Life Way, Essex, Hobby Lobby, and Academy. Academy will not be winning any awards for customer service but they had what we needed.

Hope you had a wonderful Saturday!! It is Sunday morning and snowing, well it stopped for now! Thank GOD. I hate snow. Specially when there is school tomorrow Ashley already missed a day last week. Have to get our money's worth.
