Tonight was a special occasion. I got to go on one of the FEW shopping trips that my boys will take. What prompted this trip you may wonder? Well it started earlier this week when Carter came down stairs looking like Steve Urkel. Yes my son had grown a good 4 inches since the beginning of the school year. Needless to say he was pretty ticked off about his jeans being so short. What didn't help matters was that Carter sags his pants. For those of you who don't know what sagging is I will tell you. It's when you pull your pants lower than your boxer shorts. Anyone that knows Bruce well enough knows that does NOT fly! Carter often hears "pull up your pants." Needless to say this particular morning Carter was not in the mood to hear his dads comments. Let's just say we had one grumpy, high water, raging hormone teenager on the loose and a dad raising his voice....not yelling "you better change your attitude. So that's what lead to our shopping trip. Another thing you need to understand about my boys "shopping" trip is that it is WAY different than when Cassie and I go shopping. When my boys going shopping it's very focused. You go in and get what you need and get the heck out. No looking around. No talking to strangers or even people you might now for that matter. It's like if they spend too much time in the store they will come down with some life threatening disease or something.
At 6:54pm we loaded into the car to head to JC Penny. Before we could actually get to the store we had to drop Carters friend off. There was silence most of the way. It's like they had mentally prepare for the trip. Once we got to the store I had to lead the boys to the jeans section. Of coarse I head right to the clearance sections. Seeing 70% off is liking hitting the lottery! After searching the rack I found one pair of jeans that would fit Carter. We were able to find another pair on sale. Carter and I headed over to the dressing room to check out his new jeans. Which I would like to add he started out the year in 14 boys and now is in 29x30. We have officially moved out of boys. Sniff Sniff
Bruce even surprised me tonight with getting into the shopping action. As I was waiting for Carter to come out. My handsome husband came over with a pair of jeans in his hands. When he got to the door of the fitting room he just stood there. I asked "honey, what are you waiting for?" He said "oh I can go in?" After I told him he could go in he was startled by the bell that rings when you go into a dressing room. He automatically put it reverse as if he wasn't suppose to go in. This made me crack up. I assured him that it was ok to enter the room and that it just let the sales people know he was entering.
By 7:55pm both of boys had found jeans that were a great price and looked great on them! The best part was we were on our way home! They had survived yet another "shopping" trip!
