Well, we had a great Memorial Day celebration (a day early). I got the girls down for a nap early. After they woke up, we (the girls and I) headed out to the mall to see if we could find a dress for each of them for professional photos. I have an appointment set up for them to get their pictures taken tomorrow, so we went in search of the perfect outfit... I never did find it. However, they were having some GREAT sales!! JCPenny had most of their stuff at buy one get one for 99 cents. Plus, I had a coupon for $10 off. It was amazing how many outfits I was able to get them for so cheap. In fact, the chairs that they are sitting in at the top of this post were pried at $35 a piece. I got them for $8 a piece!!! The chairs are collapsible, so we can take them on outings, too. I put the outfits that I bought on that montage you see on this post. I got all of those clothes for $100!!! Whoo Hoo!!
After our shopping spree, we came back home and ate. Then, we sprayed ourselves down with bug spray and headed back out. We went to a small carnival down the street. As you can see, there was a lot for the girls to do. They even had their first sno-cones. Jaden got to dunk the man in the dunking booth (with someone's help pushing the trigger from behind as she threw the ball).

Very cool... I am glad for holidays! Good to know you guys are doin' well
I went shopping too! We only hit Mervyn's, though (well, other than Payless-- Ems has outgrown her church shoes and I have "outgrown" mine too-- meaning my swelling has not resolved to the point where I could wear them, and we're planning for me to take Maggie the first time on Sun.!) I got a few things and wanted to hit at least Sears as well-- if not JCP-- but I had an allergic reaction to some of the clothes! :o There must have been a chemical used in some manufacturing process that I reacted to. My hands started itching, then soon, despite cleaning them with a baby wipe, they were red and splotchy and so swollen I had difficulty bending my fingers! We had to head back to the car where I had some Alavert! Yikes! I told Jeff, "Make sure you wash those ones for sure before the kids wear them!" Bridey is already known to be allergic to scented detergent and all fabric softener (scented or not), as well as Huggies...
