It’s easier to take someone else’s kids shopping. I sure hope they show this shopping trip… could be fun!

Uh-oh, it seems Evie has forgotten. My older son was okay but my younger son was a pain. He was very fussy and very vague about what he wanted. At the end of the excursion, he settled for plain colored t-shirts – after hours of looking for acceptable logos. At least both were strictly Levi’s and Vans shoes boys so that parts were easy. That part of being mom I don’t miss – both are now grown.

Don’t forget the parent’s curse: When you grow up, I hope you have kids who behave exactly like you. Evie may be planning to let the girls get whatever they want to remind Val what she was like at that age.
