It Has Begun ...



That's right. The shopping bug has struck, and the bug want little girl's clothing!

Went out to WalMart last night and saw the cute little outfit on the right. I could not resist getting it because I think the little fairy looks like a little Chinese girl. That's what started the whole thing ...

Late last night I found myself surfing Ebay, looking at little girl things.

Today I just couldn't take it and went over to Dillards and got the cute dress on the right. Pinks, browns, plaid and butterflies! and little Ray seems to like his new sister's clothes too!

I know I can't go out and do this a lot ... well, maybe at yard sales. LOL Dennis is going to think I'm crazy when he sees I've added the dress.

I'm worried about size, of course. I know Jessie was 37 inches and about 27 pounds in October of 2006. I'm guessing length, by the time we get her, around a 5T and around will probably be smaller if she's anything likte skinny-butt Ray. ;-)

Ok, Ray is climbing on the desk and attacking the screen ... gotta go ...
