Oh what a day it has been (and it's not even over yet)! I've had some Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket the past few months and today was the day that I blew it all away. I decided last night that I was going to go shopping a bit after dropping Ethan off at school today. I was in desperate need of some new summer tops and pants since most of mine were well past their expiration date and had been worn for way too long.
So, off Trevor and I went and that "a bit" ended up being the ENTIRE morning. Trevor was such a trooper and that made it much easier to keep trying stuff on and putting it in the cart. And I was proud of myself at the end of the day -- I only spent a little bit from our account, but most came right from the Christmas money (Thanks, Granny! I hope you were watching me have fun in the stores.)
Here are a couple pictures of what is now going to be hanging in my closet. There are a couple pair of pants, a pair of shorts, 4 dresses, and 14 tops (3 of which are sweaters - you can't pass up the end of winter clearance buys). Oh, how excited I am to wear the fun, colorful stuff I bought! Now we just need to have spring stick around for more than one day.

Now, not only did I go shopping today, but I had things delivered to our house! Our Blog Book that I was
waiting so patiently for arrived today... and I LOVE IT!! I can't wait to start on the book with our 2008 entries. At the ripe ol' age of 32 I am already forgetting things that the kids and Rick and I do so this will be a great great way to recap each year and to have everything documented in a fun format! Thank you
Blurb for supporting Blogspot once again...

Today was not just a good day for me, but also a good day for the other girl in the house, Kelty! Much like my need for new clothes, Kelty was in desperate need of a new bed to sleep on. This bed is normally in the living room for her and it was getting so bad that the other night she dragged it through the dining room, down the stairs and to the basement. She wanted it out!!
Today was the day she got that new bed... and was laying in it only 5 minutes after I put it in the living room.
Out with the old
In with the new...
There's really no other way to describe the weather here in Utah lately. It's been in the mid 90's with an abundance of sun for much of the week and is supposed to continue into next week. Trevor is our "hot-box". His little face gets so red when it's warm out and he just looks miserable. Today, he was in heaven when I said that he could take his shirt off outside, as long as he kept that little white body in the shade. He did great! As soon as we made our way inside, he decided he didn't want his shorts on either so he took those off on his own. And this is the way he ran around until it was time for his pjs.
