Why children should not go shopping with mom

So, after Terence's birthday event at his office, the children and I went to Target to get Julia a bathing suit, Graham some boat shoes etc...and assorted other clothes for the children (mostly, ahem, Julia).
It's gotten to the point where I NEED to have Julia with me as I shop for her either online or in a store, as she has her definite likes and dislikes...and it's silly to toss money away on something she won't wear--which has happened in the past, as it took awhile for her to get old enough to 'participate' in building her 'wardrobe' (read: Hello, Kitty! pieces...and other assorted 'stuff').

Throughout this trip, Graham was a goofy...truly a silly boy, finding 'stuff' to buy, then returning it.
Among his items?
A Huge metal Peacock sculpture for a yard...followed by a smaller Pink Flamingo sculpture...followed by...egads...the following photo will give you the visual...
I looked into the shopping cart and saw a frightening "Mohawk Helmet" for god knows what!

Julia, the self proclaimed "Hula Hoop Queen" found two hula hoops that actually light up.

Enjoy. We did make it out of Target without purchasing an expensive swimming pool, another bike or two, but we did buy a Hello Kitty sleeping bag, as well as one featuring a Cars motif.
