How to Catch a Thief.

I have a little story to tell ya about this little girl. While my Aunt Melda was here we did some shopping at the outlets. Sarah Grace hates being in buggies and strollers right now, but I didn't give her a choice and so I loaded her up in her little umbrella stroller. Carters was the first store that we hit and I think we all purchased a few items from there. I had a baby shower coming up and my cousin Ryan is due any day with a boy, so I bought a few things to send with my aunt. We hung the bags from the stroller and went on to the next store which happened to be Bath & Body Works. I was in need of some scent refills for my Wallflowers. My sister and I were looking through all of them when she noticed that Sarah Grace had placed several of them in our bags. I had to stop and explain to her that what she did was not cool and that we don't do that. Skip ahead a few stores and we're at Banana Republic. I was in line getting ready to purchase some amazing skinny jeans and was just browsing through the jewelry. Once everything was paid for I was waiting for everyone else by the front door. I looked down at Sarah Grace and noticed that her hands were clenched. Great. I opened her hands and found a necklace. Of course there was an employee right there who was laughing about it, but I didn't want to look like one of those moms who really steal stuff and blame it on there kids. I said out loud that, "I better check behind her to be safe." Lo and behold she had shoved another necklace underneath her and was sitting on it. I was trying my hardest not to laugh at my little klepto and I  talked to her about stealing again. Thank goodness I hadn't decided to walk outside to wait. Those alarms would have been blasting as I walked through them. $40 in necklaces, no thanks Sarah Grace. I'm also happy to report that we haven't had anymore incidents since that day!
