Chapter 21

At the knock on the door, I shout to the girls. “Are you guys ready? Blake and Oliver are here!”

“Coming!” They yell back. I grab my purse and throw my hair up in a bun before answering the door.

“The girls are coming now. We’ll have to move their booster seats over to your car.” They brought an SUV today, which has enough space for all of us.

“We bought some.”Oliver states. I’m a little shocked.

“That wasn’t necessary.”

“We wanted to. It’s easier this way.” Blake says.

“Well, alright then.” The girls run past me, tumbling into the guys.

“This is gonna be the bestest day ever!” Alice shrieks. We head to the SUV and get the girls buckled in. The guys sit in front and I sit in back.

“Alright girls, listen. Supplies first, then we can get clothes and shoes, and then we’ll look at other stuff. Okay?”

“Okay. But momma I really wanna get a lunchbox. You know, so I can take lunch to school.” Violet says, very serious.

“Of course, Violet. We’ll look at the lunchboxes and backpacks and all that at the end.”

“Well, I am reinventing myself. So I need to get big girl clothes.” Alice states.

“What does that even mean, Alice? Where did you even hear that phrase from?” I ask her with a laugh.

“Mom, I am almost seven years old. I can’t keep wearing little kid clothes. And I heard it on tv at grandmas.” She huffs.

“Alice, you wear normal clothes. Dresses, shorts, and pants. It’s the same kind of stuff I wear. What do you mean little kid clothes?” I can’t keep a straight face because it’s just too funny.

“Yea but all of my stuff is sparkly and pink. You’re clothes are grown up.”

“Well, that’s because I’m a grown up. Don’t grow up too quick, Alice, or you’ll miss all the fun. But we can look at all the different stuff at the store, okay?”

“Okay.” She concedes. If she doesn’t care for pink and sparkles anymore, I won’t force her to wear it.

“We’re here.” Oliver states. I unbuckle the girls and climb out behind them.

“Alright girls, the rules apply. You know them so I won’t repeat them. But since we’re in a store you must be with me, Blake, or Oliver at all times. No running off.” I tell them. I grab Alice’s hand with my left and Violet’s with my right. Blake stands on Alice’s other side and Oliver is on Violet’s.

Once inside the store, Blake grabs a shopping cart and I pull up the school supplies list on my phone. “Okay, let’s get these lists cleared and then we can go get clothes. Might as well look at backpacks and lunchboxes too.” I tell the guys, leading the way to the school supplies.

After a couple hours, with a food break in between, we’re pulling into the parking lot of a clothing store. It’s specifically for kids, much to Alice’s displeasure. “I’m sure they will have stuff you like, Alice.” I tell her as we enter the building.

“I want dresses, momma.
