Shopping Trip

On Thursday, I had a follow up ultrasound appointment. Since, Marissa and Cade were out of school we decided to go to the mall as well. I am SO glad I did! I got some really great deals, especially for next fall/winter.

Gap was having a great President's Day sale as well and I knew there were some pieces I wanted for Colin so I went ahead and picked them up. Colin is such a good sport and because I let him stand on the chair he was more than happy to do a fashion show.

Love this GAP shirt, but I am returning the shorts! I don't know why but I don't love them so no reason to keep them.
Same shorts, different top. Again, love the top and so does Colin but not the shorts. I do think the gray shorts that you see in a bit will be a good match for both shirts (and I have a pair of navy shorts that do match the dino shirt too - Shhh... don't tell).
This is a Janie & Jack shirt that I picked up at a consignment store and a pair of Old Navy shorts I bought during the Baby Sale (did I forget to mention I shopped the Baby Sale too... OOPS!)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Old Navy playwear set on him!
Now, back to GAP, lol! I got this set as well and I LOVE it!
SO CUTE!!
Another playwear set, and the gray shorts I was referring too earlier. I love this set and sorry he refused to look at the camera this time!
Same gray shorts with my favorite shirt (that will be returned because it is HUGE)!
And last but not least the crazy combo I threw together...
The top is Boden from a few years ago, I am pretty sure Cade was about this age when I bought that top. The shorts I picked up at Gymboree and LOVE them! I wanted them last year but I never got them. I found them on Thursday in our size for $3.99 plus 25% off plus a 20% off coupon! What a deal!
So here is the combo, I am still deciding if I like it or not...it looks very Boden-ish.
Another one...
And just for the cute factor!

Random Saturday Ramblings!

Nothing too exciting going on here! Things have just been busy and no time to blog.

I wish I could find time every day to blog! How do you guys go about it?
Today, we went to the mall! Fun Times at least for ME! Larry needed some polo shirts so we picked up 5 shirts, two packages of Polo socks, and a fun Zebra straw cup for $88! What a deal!!
We stopped by one of my favorite stores for the boys!
I got some GREAT deals there today! I spent $47 and got a TON of Summer stuff for both boys. Apparently, a store in Hilton Head closed so they shipped all their stuff to our store. It was crazy and so much fun to find such great deals!!
I think I might have found a new favorite place to shop for me as well!
Forever 21 is a GOLD MINE! I loved some of the things I found today, but didn't have a chance to try anything on so I wouldn't buy anything. I am going back Thursday and plan on doing some damage.
Overall, it was a super fun, successful day! I was so happy to get out and get some "fun" shopping done! Larry leaves to go out of town for a week tomorrow so the boys and I are going to do some grocery shopping and probably swing by Target, if the ad looks good. Target is another store that I LOVE but I NEED to stay away from.

Last but not least, I am planning on going to Orlando for a weekend, maybe even a day, since it isn't a long trip. I really just want to go to IKEA! I have looked at the catalog and looked online. I have seen things that people have purchased from there and it all looks so NEAT! So what are your favorite products from IKEA? Share with me!

Who's Up To Decorate???

House Hunting = STRESSFUL

This house hunting business is the MOST stressful thing I think I have ever done. Okay, wait, I take that back, the second most stressful thing I have ever done! I am so finished with this business, I am TIRED of spending EVERY SINGLE weekend looking at houses! TIRED! FINISHED! DONE!

I have looked at this house...
And this one...
And about 500 others!
I am SICK of looking at houses! I am tired of wasting my weekends going all over town to look at five different houses each weekend day. I am actually kind of tired of looking at my realtor, even though I love her dearly.

Please, tell me this will pass! I will find the perfect house for US and hopefully soon!

2. Link up with The Gypsy Mama and invite others to join in!
3. Visit the person who linked before you and encourage them!


Ready... GO:

Real Life, Real Friends, Real Stories - True! Those are the first things that come to my mind. REAL LIFE stands out for sure. I mean really, everyday we going and going living our REAL lives, making it through each day, and most of the time we are truly enjoying it. Enjoying our real friends, who just might be family, enjoying real moments that are happening around us. Those real moments are the most important to me. They remind me that things won't always be like this, things will change, real life is one big change. One change that we must embrace and enjoy. Find the positives and feel blessed with what is going on. Real is around us all the time - everyday - every moment, every minute, every second! We must enjoy our REAL life right now! Those REAL moments that will treasure forever.

STOP

I am not even sure if I what a posted made much sense, but it sure made sense to me. This topic just spoke to me today - it reminded me that these real moments only happen once - not over and over for us to enjoy.

Happy 100th Day!

100 Days of Kindergarten! 100 Days of School! 100 Days of Fun! 100 Days of Learning! 100 Days Smarter!

Today marked the 100th Day of School! It was a fun and exciting day! Cade's class had a choice to either dress up like they were 100 years old or to wear something that had 100 something on attached too it. Cade chose to dress up because of course his mother's class was dressing up like 100 year olds!

Cade and I before we left for school this morning!
