Happy Friday! Another week that flew by and another month that is gone. I can't believe we are into September. That means football games, everything pumpkins, cooler weather, sweater weather and so many yummy Fall drinks. Even though it is September here, it is still soooo hot. We are expected to have 100 degree temperatures this weekend. Ugh.

ONE. Do any of you struggle with buying jeans for your kids? My girls are very tall (long legs), but have very skinny waists. They still fit in some size 5 and 6 skirts and shorts. So I have a hard time getting them jeans. I recently turned to my old go-to for jeans for me when I was younger (but older) and had the same problem.

I bought the girls some Abercrombie and Fitch Jeggings. But the ones that I got have the adjustable waist inside. I had bought them the elastic waist ones, but they were still too big in the waist in a size 5/6 and too short even though I bought them a size long.

So I ordered these ones with the adjustable waist in size 7/8 long and they are so much better. Also, do you kids ask for the "hole-y" jeans? Mine love them.

Plus there is a deal right now, buy three, get three free. And that means mixing and matching everything!

TWO. With the new Hocus Pocus coming out on September 30th, I am super excited. My girls are super excited and I knew I wanted to grab a shirt for me (and now my kids want one). I saw a few out at Target and they were having a 30% off all apparel, so I grabbed the shirt below (normally $14.99). I got it in a size small and it fits perfectly. If you want it oversized, size up. But it is soft and so cute in preparation for the new movie and Halloween.

THREE. Also when I was browsing Target (at the same time), I bought the girls some new black "ballet" flats. These ones have a strap so they should stay on their feet better. My girls wear their flats to the ground and I always get them from Target. But I usually get the ones without the strap. 

The girls grew out of their black patent flats by Cat & Jack, so I grabbed these new ones. They are also by Cat & Jack, and have a thicker sole. They are normally $17.99 and have great reviews. The girls LOVE them.

FOUR. When I was in Las Vegas last week for work, I had some amazing sushi. I went to a place called Sakana which offered all you can eat sushi which is pretty rare in Vegas but common in Reno.

It is close to UNLV so it definitely caters to the younger crowd. They play loud music, but it is fun and lively in there. And it was close to my hotel. These were some of the items that I ordered and were so good.

This is the Popcorn Lobster Roll which was ok, but hard to eat since it was a sushi piece with a lobster ball on top.

The top roll was Kiss of Fire and the bottom roll was Something Wrong roll. Both were amazing.

The nigiri on the left is salmon belly with a wasabi sauce (the sauce overpowered it) and the nigiri on the right is super white tuna and it was amazing!

FIVE. Weekly funnies.

Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
