Yep it was a rainy day today. So I went through all of Jessica's winter clothes and she tried them all on and we got a list of what we still needed put together and I got the rest ready for consignment sales.
Then we headed to swim lessons.
Balancing on the float. He is doing great! He finally has it. Not ready to take his swim test but I bet by the end of the next 8 weeks, he will be ready!
Jessica swimming. Found out today that they have swim meets for kids her age where they just swim for fun since the little ones don't compete. Her teacher told me that she should do one of these. So we may try one and see if she likes it.
We also signed her up for little flippers today. She was sooooo excited. We bought her flippers. and she will start in a few weeks and her teacher will be Ms. Janet. She has been waiting for her to be her little flipper teacher for a year and a half when she passed her swim test!
Nathan on the slide. He finally started wearing the wet suit I bought him and now he does not shiver during class!
Jessica balancing. Ms. Beverly would let them climb up and then shake it to knock them off.
Here is Jessica's class. Too cute swimming to the other end.
Jessica jumping off the diving board.
This is after her lesson and she is getting out.
We went to Wendy's for lunch. We have packed a lunch for the last couple of weeks so we went out today. Here Nathan is playing spider. He walks his fingers up and down your arms and head and pretends that it is a spider. Not sure where he got that but he was doing it to me and I told him to stop while I was eating and Jessica said he could do it to her so he got up and moved over to sit with Jess.
Then we headed to target to get some items on sale - I spent ten dollars and got a bunch of stuff.
pink erasers 2 for .20 cents (bought 4)
glue sticks 2 for .20 cents (bought about 8)
pencil sharpeners .20 cents (bought 2)
composition notebooks .50 cents (bought 3)
construction paper .87 cents (bought 2) (100 sheets each)
crayons for .27 cents (bought 2)
I have a list for walgreens and we are going to head there tomorrow.
Then we headed to Kohls. Now I do not go shopping with the kids. I just don't do it, it is not fun. I usually get all their stuff at consignment sales and I really don't shop for myself. Butttt, Kohls was having a one day sale and I had an additional 30% off of everything I bought and it is getting hard to buy the kids clothes because Jessica and Nathan both wear a different size top with a different size bottom so matching outfits up is hard.
I was "that" mom today and I hate being that mom. You know the ones that yell "stop that", "come here", "get out from under the racks!", "what are you thinking?", "please hold still", "just one more outfit to try on", "Stop fighting!", "put your shoes back on!", "we are almost done, I promise!". But we made it through and I felt good about all of my purchaes.
My rule of thumb is for used clothes is about $5 for an outfit. Nicer ones I will pay up to seven and I got some nice outfits for just a little more than that. So here ya go mom, pictures of everything.
Jessica's new school shoes. Orginally $35, on sale for $24, paid $16.80. Kind of expensive but they are new balance. I personally like Nike but the Nike ones had ties on it and she said no way!
Pants and sweatshirts for Nathan were orignially $12, on sale for $6.oo, and paid $4.20 each
I just thought this was cute it was $16, clearanced for $4.80 and I paid $3.36.
I also thought this was cute, it was $12, on sale for $4.80 so I got it for $3.36
Jessica needed a white shirt to layer it was also $12 and I got it for $3.36
Clearance shirts for Nathan (that will also match the pants for fall. They were $12 and on clearance for $3.60 and I got them for $2.52. Probably best purchases.
No she does not need another dress but I loved this for next summer. It was originally $24, clearanced fo $9.60 and I paid $6.72!
Jessica school outfits. Eacg piece was $14 and on sale for $7, and I paid, $4.90 each. I little high but they can mix and match and fit her good.
All in all, a good day. Hoping for some sunshine tomorrow!
