Outlet Shopping

My mom and I had planned to go outlet shopping on Sunday. The outlet mall near us is about 45 minutes away, and we had planned on leaving around 1:00, after church let out. Well, she decided to do lunch with her friend, so the girls and I tagged along as well. They got their first real taste of french fries and had some of my turkey sandwich. Apparently, Audrey decided she did NOT like her lunch and yakked it all over the car on the way to my mom's house (to pick up a coupon for 20% off at Carter's).

I quickly took my stinky child inside and gave her a bath. My poor mom wiped down the car. My sister loaned Audrey a sweater that looked like it would fit a 4 year old (the dangers of drying cable knit on high). All was well in the world, so we headed to the outlet mall.

We really only went into Carter's, and spent almost two hours there before the mall closed. For around $100 per child, we were able to get them an entire Fall/Winter wardrobe in 12 months AND a Spring/Summer wardrobe in 18 months. Everything in the store was at least 50% off, but most of the Spring/Summer items were under $3 each. On top of that, we had the 20% off coupon!

Here is the loot from the day:



And here is the coupon if you are interested, it expires September 2:



And you can tell your husbands I'm to blame for your next shopping trip :)
