Friday, we all headed to Sears to do some uniform shopping for Ben and I. This is the first year that Westminster will have uniforms, and we can choose from a list of things from the Land's End uniforms. This year, I will have the option to wear pants, shorts, and skorts, as well as skirts. It'll be nice to have the pants when it snows here- that's not something we had to worry about at Providence. :) After trying on the few things they had available in the store to figure out our sizes, we placed our order. We figure that we'll just have to guess our sizes for the first order and then keep returning and ordering new things until we get it all figured out. That's one advantage of having a uniform store where every piece of clothing was available to try on and buy right in the store like we had at Providence. It kind of stinks that mom and dad have to pay for all new uniforms, especially since I'll only be wearing mine for a year. :( It was a long process, after which we were all starving and ready to be done.
We headed to Red Robin for dinner. When the waiter asked for our drink order, Dad ordered unsweet iced tea, but another waiter brought us our drinks. When he asked who had ordered the Hi-c, dad said it was him, because he thought the guy had said iced tea. The waiter gave him a strange look after almost instinctively passing the Hi-c to Ben, since it's usually little kids that order fruit punch. It was only after the waiter walked away and dad remarked on how red the tea looked that I said, "Dad, it's Hi-c! Not iced tea!" He laughed and finally got it. When our original waiter who had asked for our drink orders came back, he realized the mistake the other waiter had made, and offered to get dad some iced tea, but dad jokingly muttered, "Oh no, don't take my Hi-c!" and then said something about topping it off, but the waiter didn't get the joke and brought back the Hi-c topped off! :) All he could do was laugh and finish off his Hi-c. :)
