Preparations pending

Cara: "Ok, remember why we are here. We can do a look over in some of the stores before we head to Macy's."

Crystal: "Surely you not talking to me? I don 't plan on straying."

Shawyna: "Really Crystal? Are you throwing shade?"
Crystal: "Yup!"
Cara: "I didn't mention any names. I said WE."

Shawyna: "What exactly does Mom want us to pick up?"
Crystal: "Aunt Ann told me to check all the clearance sections first and then the sales."
Shawyna: "Sounds about right."
Cara: "She said to look for really cute items. She just said to  make sure it relates to the theme."

Crystal: "What is the theme for this year's Christmas giveaway?"

Shawyna: "Yeah, what is it? She was still tossing around themes the last time I talked to her."

Cara: "Come to think of it, she didn't say. She just said to select the best and stay within budget. Anyway we have Dad's charge card so it doesn't matter."

Crystal: "Oh, I need to stop in the bookstore. I want to see if Highlights have any new magazines outs for the twins. I'll meet you two at Macy's."

Cara: "Take your time."
Shawyna: "What about Courtney?"

Crystal: "She wants a cupcake."
Cara: "Gotta love her. She so easy to please."
Shawyna: "So I'm going to head over to the DIY section"
Cara: "What?!? DIY section?"

Shawyna: "Yes, Chica. You are not the only one that's creative."
Cara: "Really, is that your final answer."

Crystal: "Ooo, what are you going to make?"

2 hours later....

Cara: "You just had to go in Nordstrom."
Crystal: "Yeah Cousin, your busted."
Shawnya: "Hey, your look over and my look over and just different. The shoe department is my weakness. I feel in love with so many pairs, it was hard to look away, not touch them... ."
Cara: "Well you can do that on your own time."

Crystal: "Oh check it out."

Shawyna: "The Pumpkin Spice coffee is back?

Crystal: "No, Banana Republi has 50% off."

Crystal: "Sorry Cara, I HAVE to go in there."

Cara: "See what you started."

Shawyna: "Me?? Remember it just a "look over."

"Courage, determination, pride. That's what little girls are made of."

Kelly: "Mommy let's go to grandpa house!"
Shawyna: "Shh, Kelly. Let Grandma talk to Grandpa. Shhhh."

Mr. Dotson: "Beauty! Get back here! Beauty! Sorry Honey, for yelling in your ear. We are at the park. I figured I let her strech her legs for a minute before the plumber arrives. She didn't like the delivermen so I had to lock her in the bedroom. She was making all kind of noise."
Mrs. Dotson: "I see, then you won't be too long. I do believe we are going to be out all day. I'm sure you find something to eat."
