Power of Threes

I don't know what it is with me, but when I buy things - particularly clothing items - I tend to buy them in threes.

When Buddy was in Kindergarten at his private school, back then, the Kindergarten kids didn't have to wear a uniform, but starting in First Grade, I bought three of everything he needed. Even though it's all the same. Three light blue short sleeve button down shirts, three light blue long sleeved button down shirts, three navy blue shorts, three navy blue long pants. But only one tie, one sweater, one belt, one pair of dress shoes. But I did stock up on lots of navy blue socks. One can never have too many socks.

I guess my reasoning is I do laundry so often, I know I'll do it at least half way during the week for sure, that will give everyone enough clothes for the rest of the week.

We went shopping at Kohl's this past weekend - everyone needed new Spring/Summer clothes, plus I had a coupon for 30% off. Most items were purchased in threes. Myself? I found three pair of denim shorts that I liked.

Then, I had a $10 off coupon from Old Navy and a coupon to save 15% off everything, so I went online later and found three shirts I liked.

We all try to wear things for as long as possible here. Of course, the kids grow and need different sizes, but the Evil Twin and I wear things until they are literally falling apart.

Most of my favorite shirts have holes in them, so I really needed some new ones.

Trust me, I don't like spending money if I can help it.

However, the "girls" need new photographic opportunities.

Now, for only two of somethings:





I keep forgetting to add my "real" signature!
