Picture Day Prep

It's picture day tomorrow at school.

I had an idea of what the girls could wear.

Last night I told them my thoughts for outfits for picture day.

Let's just say they were less than thrilled about my suggestions.

I think both were hoping for something new to wear.

This morning the subject came up again.

I wasn't committing to getting them something new.

I thought that the 2 tops I had in mind would be cute.

Hubby said something about the tops being nice for pictures.

E complained about just wearing a top last year.

And then she said to Hubby, "Dad, the picture is going to be in the yearbook!"

Huh.

My sweet E, who's normally happy with jeans and tops wants to wear something a bit dressy for pictures.

Cute.

So, I went out today looking.

I went to Gapkids, Old Navy, Justice, H&M, Lands End @ Sears.

Nothing.

Then I went to Macys.  Didn't think I was going to find anything.

I actually was feeling pretty negative about finding anything good at all.

And then I happened upon a rack with some cute dresses.

And they were 60% off.  Woohoo!

Better yet, there were 2 different patterns in the same style of dress.

And they had the right sizes that I needed.

Oh happy day.

I was so happy to go home with 2 new dresses for D&E.

When the girls got home from school, they were ecstatic with the dresses.

They each loved the dresses I chose for each of them.

And they fit.  Yay!

Can't wait to see them all dressed up tomorrow morning.

I know they are going to look older than I am ready for them to be.

Sniff.  Sniff.
