When our DD's were little, I would go alone to walmart for my groceries, etc. at midnight, since DH would be home with them. That was "my time" to look at the fabric and pattern books as well as stress free grocery shopping. :) I use to make a lot of their clothes with matching fabric, even though they were 3 years apart. At that time the dollar fabric tables as well as the bolt prices at walmart looked pretty good. :)
