she told me she was shaking off - "like a wet dog" :)

she is having so much fun - we should really consider moving somewhere it rains a little more

Getting Ready

J and I had been promising Madison that we would start back to school shopping soon. Soon ended up being Saturday, we took her to the mall, and Sunday to Target. Here are a few of my favorite finds...

This is a start to Madison's stuff. She had a blast trying on clothes, modeling for daddy, and hearing Daddy tell her how beautiful she is. She took 20 minutes picking out the lunch box, it was such a hard choice. Backpack shopping is going to be so much fun - really, i love it.

  

these are from Target, so cute.

another Target find, Madison was ok with these because they have a "heel". can you see the sole of the shoe is a little tiny bit bigger in the back. ; )

last Target shoe find, Madison has the Sketchers twinkle toes and loved that Target had there own version

 

these are from Justice, I love them

This outfit (Justice) looks so cute on Madison.

And this one (Justice) makes her look so grown up, but also very cute.

These are Austin's - he didn't want to go shopping so he is stuck with what I pick, and oh my gosh he looks so handsome in these. He will need several more pair of jeans but i needed to make sure I was getting the right size, and shoes

and these are Zac's - he wasn't with us either and unfortunatly these jean have already had to be handed over to Austin (way too short). Zac may not have a choice but to come shopping once just to get jeans.

So that was round one. Not too bad, it's a good start. I remember loving "back to school" shopping with my mom and dad when I was a kid, it must be a girl thing, the boys have no interest. I'm glad I have Madison enjoying it with as a parent.
