Shopping and a Movie

Spent the weekend shopping and at the Dollar Theatre with my boys. Our city has a no tax weekend in preparation for school and since I always buy a new outfit for my Oldest I thought I would hit the stores this weekend (although this really was mostly my husbands idea...I HATE shopping!). I also have 2 boys going to school this year and so 2 new outfits to buy, I can't believe both boys will be in school this year.

We went to Kohl's Friday night. Found all their clothes for at least 40% off. Bought my youngest 2 pairs of pants, my oldest a nice shirt, and my husband new shoes. We also had a 15% off coupon, so that kept costs reasonable. Jumped over to Target after Kohls and picked up 3 pair of jeans for my Oldest, 2 nice polo type shirts for my youngest (one with pirates skull and crossbones on them, which is a favorite of his right now...although maybe not appropriate for Pre-K), shoes for my youngest, and underwear for my husband.

My Oldest son spent the morning at his new Middle school Saturday and meet his Advisory teacher and many of his new classmates. Afterwards we didn't want to go home, so we went to the mall to peruse Old Navy. Their clearance shelves were empty and the line half-way around the store. That was the end to our clothes shopping. We hit GameStop and bought my Youngest the Lego StarWars Game to play on his Brothers DS and then decided to hit the dollar movies.

We went and saw Night at the Museum, Battle of the Smithsonian at the dollar theatre. I don't know why they call it the dollar theatre when the movies are $2 each now. It was a decent movie with a lot of adult humor. My boys laughed a lot and really enjoyed it, although we spent more money on the popcorn and drinks then on the movie.

It was a good and busy weekend.
