The Perfect Sunday

The Perfect Sunday starts at 8:30am with a trip to Giant Eagle on slushy roads to get the ingredients you do not have on hand to make THIS (this is baby back ribs). As I began making the sauce, I got concerned about the scent of the vinegar. It seemed a bit strong.

The kids woke up soon after I got home and were concerned they were having sauce for breakfast. They were relieved it would be cereal instead.

After much dilemma, we decided it was time to do our shopping with the gift cards we got for Christmas. At 11:30am we left for Easton Town Center and arrived at noon for some serious shopping.

Our first stop was the Apple Store.  It was a must that the kids buy cases (protective covers) for their iPod Touches that they got for Christmas.  We've had enough cellphone debacles that I didn't want those iPod's to go without protection.

Next stop was Game Stop and Hot Topic.  Corey bought a game for the Wii and Samantha bought gloves and a shirt.  Up next was Claire's Boutique, were Samantha bought a hat and Paige bought a new wallet and a St. Patrick's Day hair accessory.

Then we were off to Hollister, where Samantha got a store credit for a shirt she got for Christmas that didn't fit her and Paige got 2 shirts and a sweater.

Of course we had to go to the Smoothie store to get Mango and Strawberry Smoothies.  Yum!

Then we were off to The White Barn Candle Co. where we bought nothing!  Yeah!

We then ventured outside the mall area to the outdoor stores to The Gap, where Paige got a hoodie, Corey got 2 sweaters and Samantha bought PJs.

Abercrombie and Fitch was next.  Paige got a red shirt and Corey got a hoodie.

Lids was last.  There Corey purchased a New England Patriots ballcap for $5.00.  I referred to him repeatedly as a traitor and asked him if he had enough money to get a cab home, etc. etc.  Needless to say I drove him home even though he is a traitor!

We got home and I got to watch the 1st half of the Cardinals and Eagles, then it was time for Ribs, Potatoes and Broccoli.  Those were the best ribs I've ever had.  And I mean ever!  Wow!

The kids went out after supper to play in the snow and I got some photos of them running around with icicles and playing.  Good shots if I must say so myself!

That is the Perfect Sunday in my opinion!

Here's the photos!  Happy Sunday!
