Divide and conquer

Holy smokes, it has been SOOOO long since I have gone shopping. I am not talking about a lame trip to Walmart or Kroger for groceries, I am talking about the mall among other places. Ben took the boys to see "How to Train Your Dragon" which they LOVED, so I took the chance to do some shopping. Ben loved hanging out with his little buddies and wants to have a monthly outing with them. I had a great time shopping, which is wierd because I don't usually enjoy the mall, but it was time away and for me and the babe. I am not really sure that we can afford montly divide and conquer sessions though.

I spent entirely too much money all in the name of Easter, but it have me a good excuse to get my kiddos all fancied up for church. JT didn't have any church clothes to speak of, and DB had long since outgrown his church pants, so he has just been wearing school pants. Baby Girl was my big trouble, I wanted to buy SO MUCH, but I reigned myself in and got only one swimsuit and found an Easter dress for 5 bucks! I was pretty proud. I had fun snapping pics of my fancy kids this morning before church, but they didn't cooperate too much and smile all at the same time. I think that is like the Holy Grail....you think it is possible that a picture where they all look at the camera and smile is possible, but it always seems just out of reach.

WE are SUPER excited to get out of Dodge for Spring Break. We can't wait to see Mama and Papa Shoff very soon. We have big plans for the break this year. Spring break, Easter and Conference weekend all rolled into one? It's gonna be good.
