I don't own a coat. I gave both of mine away before we moved from AA because one was 15 years old & too embarrassing to wear anymore (every time I wore it someone asked me in surprise if it was Jeremy's?) & one was shredded to pieces. So I finally went shopping this week. I thought about Target but figured I better go to the mall where there's more variety. I dislike the mall. Very strongly. I dislike shopping even more strongly if that's even possible. I get headaches & start feeling stressed just driving to go shopping. I spent a frustrating hour or two trying on coats but I didn't like anything & I definitely didn't like the prices. On the way home I thought I better go by Target just in case. 10 minutes later I was the happy owner of a coat I really liked that has the right kind of Target price! Sweet!
It reminded me of when my little brother was getting married & I needed a white skirt. Again, I thought about Target but decided I better go to the mall for more variety. After a few very frustrating hours of trying on skirts I left with an $80 skirt I didn't even like because it was the only thing I could really find. On the way home I decided to stop by Target just in case. 10 minutes later I leave the store happy with 2 different white skirts that I really liked & my Visa is only 20 bucks lighter!
When will I learn my lesson??????? Next time I think I better go to the mall for more variety I better drive myself straight to Target & not look back.
Target, I love you.
We met my good friend Ruth, her husband Lee & their 5 kids at the temple. Because it was a balmy 45 degrees & sunny when we arrived we had the kids play at the park nearby the whole afternoon. We took turns with them going to the temple & it was so nice to actually go WITH Jeremy. It was a great day!
Here's the whole crew- 9 kids 7 & under!
It was a good day to play with Daddy, take naps,
swing on the swings, play all day in the sand volleyball pit,
& snuggle to stay warm!
You want to know what the cutest thing is? Watching your babies play peek a boo over a gate-so cute!
And the next cutest thing? When your 4 year old wants a picture of his whole family in the frame Nana gave him but because 'it's too expensive to buy one I'll just draw one myself!'
Hmmm...do I say the phrase 'it's too expensive' too much?
And we're all holding hands...awww! Can you tell who's who? I can't but I sure like his drawings!

Target IS amazing. Every time I go I just can't believe how much amazingness can be in one store.
And that picture! I love it! So cute.
Target rocks. I used to love shopping...until I had kids. Now it's really hard to go, with or without them. :)
I always say Target is the best. I love it. I haven't been this week and am starting to have withdrawls...sometimes I get the urge to go even when I don't need anything. Do you think I should get help?
So cute!! Love seeing pix of the kiddos!
Target is awesome! The prices and the style. I just wish we could see your new coat! I bet you look so cute!!
That picture is adorable! I love how you are all holding hands!!
Target rocks! Love the peek-a-boo photos! Sooooo cute! Amelia and Cooper have started smiling at each other, just not at the same time yet. Love it though!
Love your comments! It's ok for your kids to realize that things cost money...it will help them do better in the future managing it! My kids always ask me when I'm about to buy something, "Is it on sale?:)" Because at our house, we buy everything on sale:)
Is Target paying you?
Hope you find one soon, it won't stay warm there forever. But I must say we loved the weather when we were there last week. Miss you guys.
