On Tuesday afternoon we were finally all well enough to leave the house, other than for a visit to the doctors office! After nearly two weeks of just being home, and going crazy, I loaded up the van and we headed to town. Our first stop was Mucho Gusto for dinner (bonus success of ordering for 7 of us and keeping the total to only $21.99!) and then we headed to the mall to look for some Easter clothes.
The main reason we went to the mall was to try and find slacks for the older boys. When I was sorting through their clothing last week I realized that they had even begun to put holes in the knees of their church pants! I had been looking online, but by the time I got around to placing the order I was worried they wouldn’t arrive in time for Easter. I was so excited when I walked into Gap and found our favorite flat front khakis 60% off with an additional 10% off “since it’s Tuesday.” At just $10.68 a pair, I stocked up! (Our boys both wear size 10 pants right now, slim and regular, but I’m sure one of them will need size 12 soon.) I’m wishing that I would have checked the little boys section as well since apparently Snuggles is in need of a new pair too…

Earlier this evening I spent a little while creating our Easter Paschal Candle for this year, without spending any money and using only supplies that I had around our home. I think it turned out really pretty and can’t wait to share it with you all! It was getting dark as I finished so I want to wait until morning to take a couple more pictures, when the lighting is a little better.

You have great luck on sales! I need to inventory boys' (men's) clothes today. I better not find any knee holes, but I wouldn't be surprised. 🙂
Can't wait to see what you did with the candle since I need to do the same thing!
LOVE!! I should have thought of letting my "Branch" wear her 1st Communion dress. She would have love love loved that!!! Love the sale on pants… need to find one of those for a big and growing boy at our house!!
So glad everyone's better and you were able to get out and shop! There's nothing like finding a good sale on things you need. I love all of your choices! Blessings from the Deep South!
I bought Isabella's Easter Dress on clearance last year, but now with the new addition I wanted Isaiah's outfit to coordinate. I had the hardest time, but ended up finally finding an outfit at a consignment store and spent a total of $3.50.
Yeah for great success!
I can't wait to see pics of your kids in their Easter outfits!

Oops! I meant "woman"… maybe I typed women because you accomplish the work of many women! 😉
Very cute outfits. I have to go get pants for my guys too. And we're big on the sweater vests for Easter as well.
