School Shopping!

Today was a girls day out. Mom is off on Friday's and so am I through the month of July. So Mom, Sabrina, Destiny and myself went out today to start shopping for the girls' school supplies. Can you believe Destiny is going to be starting Kindergarten this fall?! I can't. So bittersweet. I'm beginning to think that this is having a completely psychological impact on her as well. I mean, first at Wal-Mart, we were getting her pencils. I was looking for the pretty pencils with designs. Destiny just grabs the package of plain, yellow #2 pencils. I asked her if she wanted to get the pretty ones and she just looked at me and said, "Mom, I'm a big girl now, I don't need pretty pencils, I need the big ones." Wow, this after I went 3 weeks ago to find myself some mechanical pencils for school and I had to get the pretty ones.

Then we went to Academy Sports to get her some little spandex shorts to go under her dresses. (Yeah, as "grown up" as she is, she still has a bad habit of flashing in dresses) I found a super cute outfit and asked her if she would try it on. So I'm walking with her to the dressing room and she turns to me and says, "Mom, I can do it by myself. Just wait out there and I can walk out and show you." OooooK. Not only is my little pumpkin going to kindergarten in a few weeks, but now obviously she can try on clothes by herself. Complete with walking out as if she were on the catwalk.

Next was shoes. Yeah, we spent over an hour picking out shoes. She had to try them on (with no help of course) and run around the isles a couple times a piece to see if they were good running shoes. Sabrina did really well, picked out her shoes and was ready. Destiny on the other hand .... well, after an hour she managed to get out of there with a new pair of Nikes from Nana, and I got her the High School Musical slip ons with free flip flops to match.

Finally pulled back home about 5pm that evening, shopped out. Oh, and with only two new outfits, a dress Nana got her and an outfit from Academy that I couldn't resist we still have to go the them mall for clothes tomorrow.
