Back To School Shopping


Shopping is something that many girls love to do and something that Rosie, Lily and Hailey might not get to do often as they like. So Macy's was having a sale last Saturday. I picked out some tops on Saturday and took the girls to pick out the bottoms the Following Friday. It turned out to be something quiet different.

The girls picked out a shirt they like while driving to Macy's and put them on.

Once inside Macy's, the sales lady, Jody, began to help them with selections and the girls went crazy. They each picked out 3 or 4 outfits and went back to the dressing room to try them on. Jody kept bringing more ideas and different sizes. Lily commented she had never shopped where the lady waited on them like this.



A couple hours later, the girls walked out with two new outfits each -- never even got the jeans or whatever for the tee shirts.


And of course, Rosie was starving so we went to the food court. They each tried several chicken samples but decided they wanted pizza. Then there was ice cream and we headed for home with our packages.


Isn't it fun to be home schooled so that you can take a break and go shopping?

Comments: I took my 3 grandaughters (ages 9, 9, & 7) in to shop for clothes. An experience they rarely have. Jody served them, waited on them, brought new sizes and suggestions. They were in heaven ... even commenting they had never shopped before where someone waited on them like this. I even put the experience on my blog. It was a memory they will have forever. Thanks

Comments: Jody made a back to school shopping day very special for three of my granddaughters. I spent way more money than I had originally planned and did not mind one bit.
