Day of shopping...

Friday after school we headed to Edinburg, In. with Gabe's mom, dad, and little brother to do some Christmas shopping at the outlet malls they have there. When you have two little boys in a hotel - what is the first thing they want to do? SWIM!! So we let them splash around in the pool for awhile, Gabe brought us Arbys for supper, and then it was time to settle down for bed.


Must-do List for a Hotel Stay:
#1: Jump on the beds, and from bed-to-bed!!
#2: Eat chocolate in bed...
#3: Wake up at 5:45 a.m. because you are just soooo excited...
there is no sleeping in for me, EVER:(

The next day we TRIED to go shopping - but the boys had different ideas. They decided to whine, cry, beg, fight, - do I even need to go on? Anyway, I did end up getting some shopping done and I'm now about 1/2 way done with Christmas shopping. The boys wanted to buy these:
but we made an executive decision that the world was just not ready for these two boys and their silly hats!
Best purchase of the day? Cracker Barrel Buttermilk Pancake Mix - which I put to good use tonight for our yummy supper:) Hope everyone has an AMAZING Thanksgiving week!

I would ALWAYS want to jump on the beds when I was younger too.....the joys of being a kid:) The boys sound like my husband! haha. Whenever he goes shopping with me (which isn't often) he never wants to stay in the stores long at all. Maybe he doesn't do the whining or crying but you know what I mean!

Hey- Sometimes I STILL jump on the beds with the kids at hotels!! :) Sometimes when we were kids, we'd even attempt flips from one to the other. Glad you guys had a fun weekend!
