The first trip was to buy Chloe some working boots for the job experience project she was going to work on in the next week...so steel toe boots were a requirement.
So, Chloe had her week of doing cabinetry at a small cabinet shop (much too strenuous, may keep woodworking as a hobby!)
The next shopping trip was to buy all the kids warm clothes for a trip down to New South Wales. Since it's winter time and pretty cold there we were looking for long-sleeved warm things. With not too much luck though, NQ is not the place for warm coats and sweaters.
Donnelly had the quote of the day though:
"Don't go over there, all they have is upper-class women working clothes."
Makes you wonder what low-class clothes would be since we were in Target at the time. :)
Dave also picked up a $15 box of chocolates that he was going to drop off at the cabinet shop to thank the owners for looking after Chloe for a week. Problem: he left them out overnight and Izzy broke into the box, gnawed a hole in it, and ate several candy bars.
Can't give them to the business now.
Oh, dear, guess I'll have to eat them all myself.
Sigh, the trials of being a step-mother.
