Costumes and a day out

So on Saturday, Riley and I had a day out, just the 2 of us. We went to Panera for lunch and then hit the outlet mall. We're all in need of some fall clothes. I headed straight for Ann Taylor Loft and got some cute shirts and new jeans, my jeans are so big now that I can pull them off without unbuttoning them. Next we headed to Old Navy, I was looking for some long sleeved shirts for Peyton, I couldn't even think once we walked through the door, there were so many people and so much stuff strewn everywhere. I did notice their rack of Halloween costumes with a big $5 sign above them. I found Ethan a bat costume. The kids has such a hard time deciding things, so I called Peyton to ask him to ask him if that was ok, he said it was and seemed pretty excited about it. Next we hit Gymboree, only bad thing about the Gymboree outlet is that they have last season's clothes and the girls already had almost everything in the store, so I got Ethan a couple of long sleeved shirts. After that we headed to Target. I stopped and got her some popcorn first, we've started doing that just about every time we go now, it's the best $1.50, it keeps the kids busy and helps me get my shopping done faster. I was in search of costumes for the girls. I knew that I wanted Caroline to be Little Red Riding Hood, it's such a cute costume and she's adorable in it. Riley had the hardest time picking out a costume. She wanted to be a fairy. There were 2 fairy costumes, Wood Fairy and Sherbet Fairy. She wanted to know why the wood fairy was called Wood Fairy, I told her it was because the costume was brown, I don't know! We left the Halloween area and went to the dress-up area of the toys. I was trying my hardest to get her to be a ballerina, she has everything at home already, we could just buy her a pretty tutu and be done with it, but she wasn't having that. She didn't find what she wanted in the toy section so we went back to the costume section and she decided on the Sherbet Fairy, but surprise, it's pink, purple and green and all sparkly unlike the brown wood fairy. We had to run to AC Moore after that to get some adhesive and then we headed home. Peyton and the kids were watching the football game when we got home. I was trying my clothes on to show him and came to one outfit that I saw in the window and just had to have. I put it on and he looked at me and said "wow, 80s". After that comment, the outfit will be going back this week. Just goes to show you how much the salespeople want to sell their stuff, none of them mentioned that I looked like I stepped out of an 80's exercise tape. I got a pink and gray striped short sleeve sweater and black leggings. Honestly now that I'm typing this "what was I thinking" and to add more on top, Peyton asked "where are your leg warmers." LOL
