Accessorizing

I have told the kids that when they show me they can read an analog clock, I would be willing to buy them a watch of their own. Suddenly in the last few weeks all three girls have decided that they each really wanted a watch of their own. Tekla and Saoirse both also decided they wanted to save up to have their ears pierced (Jael really has no interest in anything that even hints at poking holes in her skin). So, our first day back in the States, we made a trip to the mall to take care of both. The trip also resulted in sun glasses for kids, a belt for Jael, and some clothes that actually fit Mom. Overall, it was a pricey trip starter.
