Update

Well, we went on our shopping expedition and what a day it was.  We (the kids are girl 13, boy 11, girls 9and 8) started out at Mc Donalds first for lunch then to Walmart and it looked like it was going to be a delightful, easy task.  Another lady, who offered to buy the girls dresses to go with the shoes came along.  Can't believe that Walmart had so little selection, so needless to say we didn't accomplish much there. Jimmy was easy. He found a pair of shorts and a tee quickly.

Then it came to the girls.  Nothing was the right size or style.  Why don't they make cute little girl clothes any more?  Anyway we gave Walmart up and headed to Beals.  Four kids going in four directions.  We would get a pair of shoes picked out, find a dress and have to go back and start over with the shoes.  Then to TJ Max when those dresses didn't work right.  Then to Payless shoes which didn't have anything so back to TJMax. Dottie, the other woman, was still working on dresses for the little girls and thought she had found one that was cute and that Sara would like. 

We finally thought we were all done(I had taken Jimmy home earlier) and had the girls in the car to go home and found Sara crying.  I asked what was wrong but she couldn't tell me.  So I figured out she really didn't like the dress Dottie had picked out and wanted the one from Beals(which really wasn't flattering).  I tried to convince her how cute she looked in the other, but she wasn't buying it.  So we hunted down Dottie and after apologizing, told her the truth.  So she tossed the dress to us in the car and after 4 hours we arrived back at their gramma's house.  Everyone happy with their new clothes.  Whew!
