I think that tonight's blog should expound on the blurb that I posted on Facebook
with the receipt and the mountain of brand spanking new clothes from Kohl’s
today.
It was truly epic. I didn’t really want to go shopping
today, but our other plans had to be postponed. That’s ok. We were also heading
to Kohl’s to spend our 10 Kohl’s bucks from the last time we went shopping there
to get some things for our trip to Cali. That was before we purchased our
tickets for our trip to Moz. So I convinced my hubby that we couldn’t take a
trip half way around the world, It is literally half a world away if you just
run your finger from the somewhere near the center of Colorado to the middle of
Mozambique you will find that it is half over and on the opposite hemisphere.
That makes it pretty perfect for shopping for winter clothes for low low
prices. Great! I want to write that like Tony the Tiger on a box of Kellogg’s
Frosted Flakes. But that would be just a little too cheesy.
Well, if you don’t know what Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes are, I’m
sorry for the impossible image reference. He was my favorite box to read during
breakfast as a kid. Tony the Tiger is so cool.
Oh my goodness. What does that have to do with getting new
clothes for kids? Well everything makes sense. I will tell you why this makes
sense.
I was remembering some of the things that just made me happy
as a kid. One of them was getting brand new clothes from a department store,
shoe shopping with my mom, making cookies, and eating the brand name cereal
because their boxes were awesome to look at. I don’t think that it tasted much
different from the store brand cereal, but I loved to read all the words on the
boxes. Seriously, that’s where the correlation comes from.
Not too much of a story there. But then again there isn’t always
something grand to write about.
We are just so thrilled to go shopping for our boys and
girls, young men, and even mama’s and papa’s who care for the children. Once we
get started we don’t stop though! We think that the suitcases will be
determining the limit! It’s so great to get brand new, high quality clothes as
presents. It’s great for frugal parents to purchase brand new, high quality clothes
for 90 percent off on clearance because they are out of season in America, but
perfect for Southern African Winter.
So that’s way G-R-E-A-T.
Sorry I did it. It’s even cheesier on the box. So fun!!!
Maybe this is why I love kids. They don’t judge me too
harshly for my sillies.
Ok that’s enough for tonight, because if I keep writing like
this I’m gonna sound way to giddy.
It happens sometimes. Maybe it’s because my hubby and I feel
like we hit the jackpot with a savings
of nearly 2200 bucks! Thank you Jesus!
Oh my goodness, if that doesn't sound like a goofy commercial!
But it’s absolutely real, and our kids are going to be super
happy. The girls’ dresses and sweaters are so sweet, the boys will look
handsome in their new sweaters, and long sleeve T’s. Most of all, they will be
reminded of just how special they are. We want them to know that they are GREAT
Kids, and we love them.
Thank you to everyone who cheers us on as missionaries. Your
love and support is so important. Each thought, prayer, dime and nickel,
present and visit helps us know when to be lavishly loving by spending four
hours picking out clothes for our big international family!
You Rock! (as my lovely missionary friend Andrea says)
Lots of love,
Missionary Momma Mia
