Megan Johnson - Costume Director!

In preparing to spend the week in Seaside, I had a little shopping to do yesterday. You see, we have decided to attempt a family picture on the beach. Let me just fill you in on who exactly is included in the family trip: Jimmy and Roan, and their children: Olivia, Julie, Clay, Leah, and Sam; Jeff and Jenny, and their children: Will, Seth, and Grace; and Russ and me! That's right - 14 people are going to pose for a beautiful and peaceful beach picture!! Yeah, I'll let you know how that goes!

Anyway, we have decided to wear white and denim. Well, as everyone started rummaging through closets, we realized not everyone had what they needed (including Russ). So, I went shopping for Russ - white polo. I found polos on sale at Old Navy for $10! I remembered Jenny needed white shirts too...so I texted her to let her know. She needed 3. So, I picked them up. Soon after, Roan also realized some of her family lacked white. Did I mention she has FIVE children, homeschools, and is cooking all week for this trip. Obviously, there was NO WAY for her to shop around. No problem! I went to work! I got EVERYTHING on sale at Old Navy (one trip!) - except Leah's dress. Let me tell you - if you need a white dress for a little girl, just go straight to Gap Kids. That is the only place in the Jackson Metro area that has them. And they are on SALE! Success! 13 pieces of clothing ALL ON SALE!

Wardrobe for family beach picture!

In all seriousness - anyone who knows me will tell you that I LOVE to shop (especially for others - and even more for kids!) so this was actually a fun day for me! Now, everyone has to try them on and LIKE them...that's the scary part! Ha!
