Saturday

On Saturday morning, D3 was the first one up. We had absolutely no trouble with them overnight. In fact, every night has been great with them sleeping all night. D3 came down stairs with a little hoarse voice and a slight cough. D2 slept about an hour longer. I made two pieces of toast for D3 and D1. Son & DH had a boys' day planned and we had a girls' day planned. The boys left early and went to eat at the Waffle House, then went out to see the gigantic new sporting goods store. D2 got up and requested two pieces of toast, but only ate half of one. We packed up the leftovers in a tupperware container and brought it with us in the car. We brought granola bars and bottled water and off we went. Our first stop was the drugstore because I didn't prestock any kids' meds. D1 and Son are big enough to take adult med now and swallow pills, so I didn't even think of that. I bought liquid cold medicine and pain medicine, and some chewable cough & cold medicine, grape flavor. I gave some medicine to D3. Then we went to the car wash. D2 said they had done that before, but D2 says they have done everything before. It was obvious from their excitement and questions that they had never watched the car roll by and get washed. It was cute and fun. From there we headed to Academy to buy tennis shoes. D2's were worn out and D3 had boy shoes that she didn't like. We bought really cute shoes for both of them. After that we went to Target and got more socks and underwear. We also bought a book for each girl and used the $2 coupons they gave me. You should always make sure your adopted kids come with coupons! LOL Then we rushed to make their noon hair appointments. FM had really butchered their hair. D2's bangs are so short they stick out. Her hair was cut into three levels, with bangs, a terrible harsh bilevel and then straight across the back. The second level was cut so far back that it really can't be blended in. It was a very harsh and choppy look. The stylist layered it to soften the look as much as she could, but it will just have to grow out. Both girls have said they want long hair and I've told them that is fine with me (ha, coming from a person with hair to her waist). D3's hair was in much better shape, and she has a cute little Dorothy Hamil style now. Then we went shopping and bought lots of pretty school clothes and some cute church clothes for when it gets a bit colder. More later.
