School Clothes Shopping

I took the boys school clothes shopping today. It happened to be Tax Free Weekend. I was worried the lines would be long where ever we went so I decided to head out early.

For some reason Tyler's favorite place to shop is JC Penny's. So that was our first stop. But unfortunately it was a bust.....not very many short sleeve shirts and tees. They were already stocking up on long sleeve things. We won't need those for quite some time. But we made it out with new sneakers and a couple of "cool" tees for both of them.

Next stop Target. We hit the jackpot here. Tyler found lots of "cool" clothes. He is into graphic tees now. He didn't want any "handsome" shirts (collared shirts and button downs). But I convinced him to get a few anyway.

The best part about our shopping experience was Tyler trying on his clothes. He usually never likes to try on clothes, but for some reason he finds it fun when it's time to get back to school clothes. So much so, he went to the dressing room all by himself because he told me he wanted to put on a fashion show for us. He would walk out of the room with a new shirt on and pose!!!! It was so cute. A women walking by noticed and said "oh my aren't you the cutest thing!!!!"

On the way out of the store, he noticed a couple of manikins on a stand and jumped right up there and posed with them....and had me take his picture. Needless to say, this caused more Ouhs and Auhs from women passing by. I really don't know where he gets this from. Then of course Ryan jumped right up there too to pose too....it was so cute!!!

After clothes shopping we headed to lunch at their favorite place they like to call "the soup place". It's really called Shogun, a Japanese restaurant. They serve an onion soup that the boys both love. As I sat across from them watching them eat with their chopsticks, I thought to myself...this was a perfect day!
