Today was a school shopping day. We usually find a day and go north to some bigger towns with more stores, but this year we don't have a single day when everyone can go. That means that we're finding what we can in our little town. It has been awesome what we've been able to find! Maybe I haven't given our little town enough credit, or maybe the Lord was just taking care of us. Either way, we've been able to find everything that everyone needed or wanted without going more than a couple miles from home!
Liesl is very particular about her jeans, and we managed to find her two pair that she was happy about. Friedrich is also very particular about his shorts. He's not so fussy about the type, or the color, or the fit. What he's worried about are the pockets. He went all the way around a round clothes rack today, putting his hand in the pocket of each pair of shorts. The shorts with the deepest pockets were put in the cart. He tried them on at my insistence, but they fit fine, and he brought them home without ever mentioning their style or color. Louisa is out of town, but told me to find her some plain T-shirts in several different colors, and that would be fine. I managed to find exactly what she described, and they were 'buy two-get one free.' Sweet!
Kurt was worried that he wouldn't be able to find some good shoes without going to a bigger town, but we took a look, anyway, and he found some! In the past he has been annoyed that every pair of tennis shoes in his size lights up somehow. I guess he considers himself too big for light-up shoes. There weren't many that didn't have lights, but he did find a pair, and they had bright orange laces, which he thought was super cool.
Brigitta and Marta are going shopping tomorrow, and I hope they'll find some clothes that they like. So far, though, the Lord has taken very good care of us in helping us find everything we needed without ever leaving town.
