Shopping with my son

My son is not a shopper. Like most boys he would rather find other use of his time. Shopping to him consists of going online to his favorite store, adding selections to the Shopping Cart, and waiting for my final approval and payment. That is how we have purchased all of his clothes for the last three years. Totally serious.

I am not complaining.

Today warranted an in-store shopping experience because we are under a deadline. The first deadline is that he needs a green shirt for St. Patrick's Day this Saturday (more on that later), and he was also in need of a couple of spring items for our upcoming Spring Break Trip (eeek- can not wait!).

So my son and I headed off together this afternoon leaving the CCI Dog, my girl, and hubby behind. It was just the two of us.

Simple date, but so great. He is my easy going kiddo that is just straight to the point when it comes to knowing what he likes. There is no waffling when it comes to style with him. We came out of his favorite store with a wide selection under budget thanks to a great sale and an extra $10 off discount.

Our chatter was light hearted and fun - we played a verbal game in the car and talked about random things while shopping. He is just the definition of a great time.

We came home to see his buddy walking down our driveway. My son was excited that he got home "in time" to do his favorite thing - hanging out. As I slowed for the garage door to open, he jumped out of the car for a couple hours of hang time before the snow, sleet, rain, and wind kicked in. Crazy-March!

My son had asked that every Sunday he make his famous double batch hand-made pizza dough for pizza's. I can't pass up that offer and his delicious recipe. Our house smells amazing. What a great way to end a weekend and kick off the week!

Shopping with my son is few and far between - but when it does happen - it is awesome!
