The Lists

It seems that we all have things that we need for the trip. Of course, Ethan decided that me asking what he needed was an open invitation to create the shopping list of his dreams, so we had to bring it way, way down.

Here they are:
Alex
Tennis Shoes
Flip Flops
Backpack

Ethan
Tennis Shoes
Flip Flops
Shorts
Bandanna (Um... I really have no idea why he needs or wants this, but he said that he does)

Christian
Jeans - 1-2 pairs (This pisses me right off because we just bought him jeans the last time we were in Birmingham and they have holes by the pockets. These were $25-30 a pair jeans and they lasted only a fraction of how long the $12 Walmart jeans did.)
Tennis Shoes
Shorts
Hat (He has no idea what kind of hat he needs, but he says that he does.)
Swim Trunks
Dressier shirt

I had some things on my list, but managed to take care of them all this week. A friend and I went out to dinner and decided to check out Ross (like TJ Maxx) for sandals. We not only found the sandals but we found some mineral make-up and a make-up bag, all for $30. The only thing that was left on my list was jeans/capris, and it turns out said friend had a big pile of the size I needed that she isn't wearing. By the way, they are size 16s and size 18s!!!! I have to say that I would have never even tried 16s or 18s on at the store. In fact, when my friend said that she had some 16s and 18 for me to try on, I told her they would never fit. Y'all, I have never worn a 16 or 18 as an adult. Never. I promised to take "Flat Stanley" type pictures of me in her jeans/capris for her!

So... there are the lists. Now to slowly whittle them down.
