back to school shopping

Yeah, yeah, I know school just got out, but by the time we get back to the States, it won't be that long until school starts up. Besides, the kids deserve it. They've been wearing the same limited wardrobe for the past six months (as evidenced by the photos!).

Stuart scored some jeans and a few shirts, Audrey's stuff was cheaper so she ended up with about 8 shirts and several skirts and pants. Funny thing is that we didn't have to shop at the children's shop. All of her clothes are just "adult: small" size. And she's a skinny(!) little 9-year-old. Yeah, people are smaller here.

All in all, it ended up costing less than a hundred bucks and we all got a treat. I also picked up a shirt, which (miracle of all miracles) fits. I had to have it. You remember the JFK quote, I'm sure. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Right? Not according to this shirt; it says:

Speak not what your country does to you, but what you have done to your country.

ha!
