Yea, I know what you mean about the lines...we waited longer in lines than actually shopping! But we still enjoyed our morning coffee, which we don't get have together very often. Scott had 'Jillian' duty until I got back home then he had some errand...

Wow! You two are braver than I.  Having worked for a shopping center for several years, I really have NO desire to put myself out there.... happy to hang out and put out some holiday stuff at home.

That's so wonderful to spend the shopping day tradition with your daughter. I too am big on traditions when it comes to my family. Any family outing is great. I have to agree with you Katie that our sales clerks are not allowed to sit down either...

It's fun having your kids in school (Although it gets a bit expensive) Jason enjoyed his School days, as he suggests. I think the more you can join in with the school community and be there for them the more fun it is for the parents and grand parents...

I always thought it was funny when my mom use to say "back in my day ..." but ... back in my day, school use to start in September, what happened to that?  Why does it start in August nowadays?

Snow days, SuBe, snow days.  Right?  Or is it flood days.... QMOT:  I don't know.  Some days I'd like to trade my "Adult Responsibilities" for a little homework. Great pictures, SuBe!  What a fun day you must have had!
