Non-Holiday Shopping

Nothing is worse than needing to shop for everyday items during the holidays. Ezra needed new shoes and new pants, so off we went to the mall because where else do you want to be in the middle of December. At least it wasn't a weekend. So here is the proud owner of new Stride Rite shoes (on sale. One of the pluses of non-holiday holiday shopping)





















Also, on a related note, any idea how hard it is to buy a present for someone who is right there and nosy as all get out? Yeah. It is difficult. But I did it and Ez will be getting a new shirt from Old Navy that he really wants as well.

Also purchased:
GapKids jeans and Khakis
More Time Moms Calendar (my 5th. I really like them)
Hanukkah Gelt
Old Navy shirts for B

And in other news. Presents are inching towards done. I started a doll sweater for Pokey. Ez's socks are almost finished. Trellis scarf is nowhere near done. B's socks are unstarted. Both kid's hats are unstarted. Michael hasn't made playhouse plans. Ez's sewing basket needs assembling (but is all purchased but the thread)

And my Dad arrives in town tonight!!!! Yay!!!
