I can't let 2011 pass without including a post about my new found favorite store to shop...which has kind of become a hobby in a way. It is the DI. Grandma Barb refers to it as the "special store". Kylee told me the other day that she has been there more in the past 6 months than in her entire life. Early in the summer I started frequenting the DI to try to find trek clothes for Kylee and Emilee. I not only found trek shirts but I started finding sooo much more. I was hooked.
We have a DI here in Brigham City as well as a big new DI in Harrisville...only 15 minutes away. I started looking for school clothes for Quincy and Brinley. They loved it. They don't know the difference. They were thrilled with their "new" clothes. By the time school started I had completely outfitted both little girls for school from the DI. It was awesome. They actually have cuter clothes than they would have. I would never pay for the name brand cute things that I bought them at the DI for a couple of dollars. Don't tell Kade...but several of his school clothes came from there as well. In fact, all of us are sporting "new" DI clothes.
Besides all of Brinley and Quincy's school clothes, we have found Emilee an awesome pair of capris, and Kylee found a couple really cute skirts. Quincy found school shoes and we found Quincy and Brinley a "Barbi laptop" that really works. It has worked out sweet for volleyball game entertainment. We also have a giant bag of new Christmas balls for our quite bare christmas tree downstairs! Kylee and Emilee can claim that one. Whenever we need anything...we head to the DI first.
Sooo...when Brinley decided she wanted to be a princess for Halloween...you got it... Chris, Brinley and I headed to the DI to see what it could produce for us. This was probably our luckiest trip yet. They didn't have any great costumes out on the floor but as we walked past the door leading into the backroom I could see what I thought looked like a blue cinderella sleeve. But I could only see the sleeve so I wasn't sure. Chris, being much braver than I, opened the door and asked if these costumes would be coming out soon. The man told us 30 - 45 more mins. So we sat on the comfy couches for sale and waited. Pretty soon they brought it out, but the Cinderella dress was not there. We were just ready to leave when a man came and tapped Chris on the shoulder...he pointed to another new rack that had just barely been brought out that we hadn't seen. The blue sleeve was there, and it was attached to the most perfectly beautiful size 6 Cinderella dress!!! We had to scrub a spot off the front, but it looks brand new. Brinley was so excited. $5 bucks!!! That's the best part of it all. I am sure someone paid $40.00 for this thing. I am glad it wasn't me!! So Brinley gets to be the most beautiful Cinderella for Halloween. I think I might have to claim this as a tithing blessing. It was just too perfect!
So that's it...my new hobby. I love shopping at the DI. I can have anything I find, nothing is out of my price range! It's like a new challenge every time I go.
The kids bettter watch out...Christmas is coming and I don't know if I can stay away from my new favorite store!!!
