This weekend was Sales Tax Holiday in our state. Although we homeschool and don't need all of the supplies and things the other school kids need, I thought I would take advantage of the savings. Maybe I should have reconsidered because it was an absolute madhouse in the stores! Gee whiz, you would have thought it was the day after Thanksgiving shopping!
I waited until late this evening to get the few school supplies I needed figuring things might have died down....nope! The school supply aisles were jam-packed with moms and kids. Yesterday I ventured into the malls and other stores to find a few clothing items the kids needed. Whew! Children's Place is a tight store with no one and no strollers in there...but claustrophobic with all the people and strollers. Boy, I was glad I left the boys and stroller at home!
And is it me or can you only find dress pants and dress shoes for boys at Christmas and Easter?! I have been convinced over the last 5+ years shopping for boys that they get the shaft sometimes for clothing. You have 10 racks of girls clothes to their measly little one or two racks. It is terribly frustrating. I know boys aren't as into clothing but a little selection and size variation would be nice.
Well, I think I am done shopping for now...and I am wondering where the weekend went.
