Shopping and earrings

Saturday we headed out to the Tanger Outlet mall in Texas City.  I am trying to get a head start on school shopping.  Last year I waited until the last minute and the mall was crazy!  I was on the lookout for some good deals.  Caden is always easy.  He could care less what he wears.  Lol. He let me know I could just pick his stuff for him.  So, we split up and he went with Jimmy and I took Paige with me. 

It was a totally new experience for me.  This is the first time she has expressed any interest in shopping and trying on clothes.  We had so much fun trying on outfits and just looking.  I could have spent so much money!  This is also the first time she has wanted to wear jewelry.  We were looking at necklaces and stuff when she spotted the earring section.  Right away she wanted some.  I reminded her that she did not have her ears pierced.  "Then can I get them pierced?" She asked.  Yes!  Of course!  I have wanted her to get them pierced for a long time but she did not want too.

I was thinking to myself that she might chicken out, but today when I asked if she still wanted to go she said yes.  So after church my mom and I took her to Claire's.  I could tell she was a little nervous, but she was very brave.  The girl was very sweet.  She helped her pick out her earrings and before we knew it she was done!  She did cry a little, but it did not take her long to bounce back once she saw herself in the mirror. 

I love how they turned out.  She can't wait until they are completely healed so she can pick out different earrings.  Go Paige!
