5 Is Too Many

0021

It’s Monday and as Thade had told me many times over the weekend “we are out of EVERYTHING!” Time to go grocery shopping for the week, a task I’m not too fond of, but it has to be done. Dylan and I were browsing down the aisles, and I was fighting off the urge to fill the shopping cart with Baby Ruth’s and Munchos, and then we came to the Ice Cream aisle.

My ice cream in the freezer was in a sorry state, and every where I looked they were on sale, and they all looked delicious. I ended up buying 3 different flavors, I really wanted 5, but I decided that 3 was better, and I wouldn’t look like a crazy-preggers lady wiping out the entire stock in the Ice Cream aisle. I’ll probably go back for the other 2, but later on in the week…

Yard Sale Finds

This weekend was the City Wide Yard sale, and my hubby really wanted to go and check out the sales. We loaded up the kiddos on a cold Saturday morning, and drove all around town looking for some good deals.

I found a few cute finds for the nursery.

005

James spotted the Sugar and Flour canisters for $2.00 each. I think they are going to look great in the kitchen.

008

I couldn’t pass up the Bowling Bag, Ball, and Shoes for just $1.oo! I love bowling bags, and this one came with a story too. The combo has never been involved in a perfect game, that made me laugh.

009

I found the big blue crock for just $1.00, and a soup mug for a quarter. You can never have too many mugs for Fall soups.

The kiddos also came home with some new toys, and I also picked up a bag of baby clothes for under $2.00 at a friend’s sale. I also found a wreath for $2.00 that will be perfect for the front door when Christmas arrives.

The morning was a blast, and the kiddos did really well at all of the sales. I think we’ve got a couple of savvy bargain hunters on our hands.

An Afternoon Out

002

James had a much needed half day off, and he sent me out of the house for a little break. There was an awesome thunderstorm moving in, and I saw a great opportunity  to get some pictures of the clouds.

007

I also got to head downtown and visit a few antique shops, and look for some fabric too. Checking out the antique stores was really fun, but I still haven’t found the fabric that I am looking for.

The mid-afternoon thunderstorm came and went. I really appreciated the afternoon out too.
