Jackpot!!!!

I went in the office at my usual time (very, very early) on Saturday but stayed a few hours later than I normally do. So by the time I got home I pretty much collapsed into bed and took a quick nap. I woke up in time to go to dinner with the family and we all headed to bed early.

And that was Saturday for me. Fun, fun.

Sunday morning we got up, went to church and went out for brunch. On the drive home I told Dustin that I didn't want to stay stuck in the house all afternoon working. I wanted to get out. If I sat at home I'd just feel like I should be doing laundry or cleaning and I didn't want to do that.

So I said, "Let's go to Williamsburg!"

Dustin was game so we raced home, changed and hopped back in the car. There were a ton of sales going on and I cleaned up at The Children's Place, Carters and Old Navy!!







They had all their summer clothes on sale and I got some adorable outfits for the kids! I know it's a little early to buy shorts, but let me tell you, buying all those sleeveless shirts and shorts has me excited for spring and summer!

Dustin got some new jeans for work but he also got some new running shoes. He's decided that he wants to start running again! He wants to run a few races this summer and thought a new pair of running shoes would help get him started.

As soon as we sorted through all our goodies, Lauren decided to try on a few things!




And then Ella wanted to get in on the action!



I have to tell you, an afternoon out of town was exactly what I/we needed. We had such a wonderful time together and everyone was in such a good mood.

And to top it off, I got to have a proud moment as a parent...

We were all leaving the Carter store and Josh opened the door for us. Dustin exited first with Ella in the stroller and I followed behind with my bags in one hand and Lauren's hand in my other.

Dustin, the girls and I kept walking on to the next store and I looked behind to see Josh letting go of the door to run and catch up with us.

He started to run to us, stopped and ran back. I about hollered to him to catch up when I saw a young mother heading to the door pushing a stroller. As soon as she got close enough he opened the door for her and smiled.

My heart melted.

He is the BEST kid. Ever.

I yelled to Dustin to see him and I swear the pride in his eyes was visible.

It was such a great moment....and a perfect afternoon.
