Shopping for School

Hannah starts school one week from tomorrow!!! :::Gasp::: Where have the last eight weeks gone?? We've done A LOT and probably would have done more trips to Disneyland, maybe the desert outlet stores, maybe even the museums in Los Angeles, if it weren't for the price of gas having kept us home a little bit.

Today, we set out on a mission for a new lunch box and backpack. Hannah had seen one she liked a few weeks ago at The Children's Place, so we headed out to Ontario Mills for some shopping. We got the backpack she wanted, even picked up a cute sweater for each of the girls and was able to use a coupon I had that saved us 15% on the already outlet prices! Whoo Hoo! We walked the entire mall, making stops into a few stores here and there. We parked outside one of the big anchor stores. And each time we passed through, in and out, and then once out to the car to put a big package, Hannah, and Rachel, both attempted to open the "automatic" doors with their Jedi Powers. They are their father's daughters. LOL. We grabbed a quick lunch, using some coupons that came in the mail. And then went to Target and found a new lunch box and some other needed things. We had a good day out. Minimal fighting and arguing. And Rachel cooperated by staying in the stroller and shopping cart! On the way home, Hannah said "today has been like a Mommy and daughters date, huh Mom?".

Yeah it was. And it was nice.

And then within an hour of getting home, the fighting and arguing started. :::Sigh::: At least it was a nice morning and part of the afternoon. .
