Princess Couture

My husbands children don't lack for much. I would definitely say they walk on the spoiled side of life. But I will admit that I am mostly to blame for this. If they weren't so darn cute and fun to dress up I could probably save more money. But as it stands, they have a lot of fun clothes. This Disney trip only necessitated in my mind the need for a new costumes. I NEVER like buying Disney souvenirs on property and always try to bring our own from home. Luckily the Disneystore.com had a great sale the week before we left and I was able to buy some fun things for them at great prices. I had the order shipped directly to our hotel to ensure it's timely delivery (heaven forbid they go without).

Upon their arrival the girls were presented with a new costume to wear at the park the next day as well as new jammies, flip flops and hair accessories. While at the Magic Kingdom we saw a store called Princess Couture. I laughed out loud as I read the sign. The girls wanted to know what I was laughing at and what the sign meant. We then had the following conversation.

Girls "We need to go there and buy us some princess presents."

Me "Raise your hand if you got a new costume this week?"

3 hands went up in the air

Me "Raise your hand if you got new princess jammies?"

3 hands went up in the air

Me "Raise your hand if you got a new princess shirt?"

3 hands went up in the air

Birdy "Raise your hand if you need more princess clothes?"

3 hands went up in the air

Unfortunately the only hand that matters when it comes to buying new princess clothes is the one holding the money, and it wasn't theirs.

But for the record my sister in laws and I did a little research to see how much our prepurchasing of souvenirs saved us. We found the same flip flops we'd bought the girls at the park for $17.00 each. We on the other hand had only paid $3.75 a pair. Crazy.
