The day before hailey started 1st grade!

To prepare for school we went shopping yesterday and found the kids some cute shoes at JcPenny's. It was a great deal but 1 get 1 free. We got hailey some adorable brown leather mary janes and grant some lowtop brown leather boots(look like Doc martin's). And we also found hailey some cute little shoes for next spring.

We originally went looking for a new backpack something a bit smaller and cuter(more grown up, brown with pink and multi-colored polkadots)) but the one we wanted was already sold out. So she went to school with the same one she used last year. Not like she really needed a new backpack her's barely looks used. I don't think she is really old enough to notice yet but i wanted it. I will look later this week and see if target or khol's has any left that are cute.

I tried to get pictures off their website but they are not cooperating. And they didn't have the right sizes so i had them order them for me(with in store pick-up instead of catalog shopping i have no shipping costs). So they will be here in a couple of days. And over the weekend hailey got new nike tf -shoes to start school with, also from penny's. I love their shoe sales this time of the year. So now we need winter dress shoes and the kids will be done shoe shopping for awhile.

Then we went and got grant's and hailey's haircut. They both look so grown up now. My baby's aren't exactly babies anymore. Grant sat perfectly and barely moved. It helped that he was 2 hours past naptime...i thought he would scream and cry but instead he was an angel. I didnt even give hima toy or sucker. Maybe he was scared whatever it was it went great. Hailey just got a trim. She says she wants her hair to grow long now so i think we will try. BUT we will only let it grow long if she takes care of it and doesn't complain. If it gets to be problematic then it will go back to a bob...which i think looks great on her and is soooo easy to maintain!

Other than that we spent the rest of the day at the mall getting some gifts and looking at the winter clothes that are coming out. Some really cute stuff is out right now...i am ready to finish up winter shopping already(we are almost done)! Then let the kids play at the mall play placebefore heading home.

Once home hailey swam(then took a bath) while grant took a nap. Then we made brats for dinner..yum yum with kettle chips(my favorite)and yams! Then it was almost bedtime for the kiddos. It took hailey longer than normal to fall asleep since it was so early but since she got up very early this morning i am hoping tonight will be easier.
