Almost Finished with Mission Shopping - One Lucky Princess Five and 111 Blessings

We are nearly done! In the past few days, we were able to find the two boots we needed for her mission at a fraction of what we paid for Princess Fours boots when she went on her mission.

We were able to order some Ugg Boots online at a discount to what they would be in the local retailers and they have free shipping and returns. 



I ordered them two nights ago at 7 p.m. and they came today! We live in a small town in the middle of nowhere so for them to make it in under 48 hours is really impressive. 

Princess Five tried them on and they work great. They can be worn without socks or with one of the wool socks we got at Costco that Princess Four said worked so well on her mission in a cold Japan. 

I stopped at the second hand store today looking for galoshes as we looked at several different types and the ones we wanted that Princess Four said we really popular were no longer available. 

I found a pair today that looked new with some garage dust on them but the interesting thing about these is that it had a draw string at the top which I had not see before, and they had a wool insert to help keep your foot warm. 

Most galoshes are big, bulky and open at the top. These were calf high as she didn't want high boots as they are hard to wear and don't usually bend at the ankle causing blisters on the heel. These had waterproof canvas sewn to the top with draw strings which would keep water and snow out and the wool liner is brilliant! She can then wear them out in the snow with wool socks and even if her feet did get wet, the wool would still keep them warm! They were $4! 

We were able to get her Uggs for just under $150 and the galoshes brought it to about $150. I paid about $70 if I remember right for Princess Fours galoshes and she ended up not using them at all and left them in Japan and ended up using and keeping the Crock brand galoshes we got at a second hand store for cheap. So, Yahoo for finding lots of great shoes and boots for Princess Five and now we have everything but some socks if I remember right. Yea for that! I think one more trip to Walmart would get us everything else she needs. Here is a post where Princess Four got her Uggs. That post is just about two years ago!

I bought some hair lightening kits today to do both girls hair. I did Princess Four tonight as she is heading to college this week and I trimmed and did Princess Five's but will need to do a touch up before she leaves in November. 

I had to smile when we ordered her Ugg boots online and the order confirmation number had a 111 in it! That has happened over and over as we get stuff she needs. Click here for one of the original 111 posts. I am so grateful that we have been able to get what she needs on sale, clearance, and second hand stores. Things have worked out well and she is getting excited having all her stuff ready! 

Have a Blessed and organized Day!
