What a Difference a Girl makes

So today was kinda officially Sophie and I's new life together as a twosome. We waved goodbye to the boys, turned on the music, put on costumes and Soph got a bath. Then what was the agenda, but hit the mall! I think I learned once, that is all it took, never to take my boys to the mall. It always involved hiding among the racks, begging for gumballs from the machines, pretending to be manequins, and stashing goods in the stroller. But Soph, well, she is a girl and she is in her element shopping with mama. The truth is I probably woldn't have attempted this but I had a coupon to Pennies oh yes this booming metropolis has a JcPenny, notice how I call it Pennies, I'm a local now. so off we went, snacks, strollers, coupons in hand. And she was a star. She pointed out pretty sparkly sophie shoes, pointed out Daddy shirts, ate her snacks and looked around while I browsed. My $10 coupon got me some earrings and a Buzz Lightyear shirt for Cooper I know, I don't know why I feed his obsession. And Sophie scored some $10 jeans with a cute little ruffle on the hem from Children's Place. That is the other thing I have learned with girls. Just plain khakis, jeans etc. aren't good enough unless they have a little girly flare! So here's to more mother daughter shopping in the years to come.hopefully not always at pennies, or Forever 21 and HotTopic that also graces our mall for that matter.

Here is a pics of my girly girl Soph, and one of the boys sophie!
