My Saturday Surprise




On Saturday morning, I was awakened by my cell phone ringing. My sister was almost home from her trip (with the seniors) to Florida. My parents were out of town so Em was going to stay with us for a few hours before they got home. As I was cleaning up breakfast (bacon and eggs and yummy donuts) Shawn asked me if I wanted to go shopping. Of course! He explained that he wanted to get me an Easter outfit since he knew I always got one growing up. (I was okay with not having one this year -my choice- and had told him so.)
After a few stores, we finally found a mannequin dressed with an outfit he liked! (To those of you who know Shawn, this is the way he loves to shop! He says he likes to see it on "someone" haha)
As we were walking back to the truck, he told me this was my Valentine/St. Patrick's/Easter/birthday/Christmas gift. :-) I explained to him later that the store managers are not going to put the sale items on the mannequins! :-)
Anyway, I was excited to receive a new outfit and have an outing with my hubby...and Morgan, of course.
Enjoy the pictures taken on Sunday (notice me in my new outfit...and Morgan with no tights in the bottom picture...her bowels were working and her "deposit" decided to leak out of her diaper!)

Cool! Joe and I used to shop some, but he spent way too much money (I'm like, do you even WEAR suit jackets??) and now has a highly expensive hobby. My dad always used to shop ONLY from the manni-whatevers (dummies). It didn't matter what it cost... as long as he could see the finished product without spending much time! But yes, it always cost him more MONEY!!
