The second trip to Walmart (in the same day) caused a "mother moment" -- of the good kind. After school Jared & Ryan wanted to explore the new store and get a chance to use their ice breaker coupons and buy junk food, so I took them with the understanding that they would have to wait while I did the fabric shopping and it would be boring. They figured they could handle the fabric/boring shopping since there would be candy and a look at the toy aisle. Off we went! After the toys, candy, & fabric, I stopped to look at women's clothing for a minute on the way to the checkout. I pulled a jacket off the rack and tried it on. Here's the conversation that followed:
Boys: Try the purple one on, Mom.
Me: That's the color I want!
Boys: (When I had it on) That looks really good on you, Mom!
Boys: You should buy it.
Me: Well, if you think I look nice in it, maybe I'll get it.
Boys: You always look nice, Mom -- well, except for maybe when you get out of bed in the morning!
Me: Nobody looks good when they wake up in the morning!
Yeah, I bought it -- when boys tell you that you look nice, buy it!

How cute is that???
Ethan always likes to give fashion advice to me too...must be a Vawdrey boy trait. Either that or they're learning how to butter up the women in their lives at a young age - a very good skill, actually.
We want pictures! We want pictures!
