After church on Sunday, we made a family trip to Home Depot to pick up a few things. Bill thought the kids were a little overdressed. I thought they looked perfect:), and I happened to have my camera in my purse so here are some pictures:
Later in the day, Bill read the Hunger Games, while Lucky played with Play-Doh and Charm re-enacted 'Toy Story':
This view was mine for a good chunk of Sunday. And Monday. And Tuesday, while I attended to a little continuing education matter than needed to be taken care of:
Luckily, I found a great website with a ton of free CE courses available, so it was just a matter of putting in some time to keep my pharmacist license current for another couple of years. Now, I can focus on other things like cleaning out drawers and closets in preparation for our big garage sale coming up next month. It's time to unload!!
I did sneak in some shopping this past weekend, as well. (I know, the irony, right?? Buying when I should be garage sale pricing:)) I stopped at Goodwill. I haven't been there in forever, but I thought I'd make a quick stop on my way home from picking up a few Target snacks. One of the snacks was Alden's Organic Ice Cream, which I love, so I had about 2.5 minutes to go in and get out of GW so there wouldn't be a milk shake in my car when I returned.
Here is what I snatched in my 5 minute raid of Goodwill:
Brand New Zipfy Sled. We own a red one already that I bought on super clearance at Target last year for about $8. Now Lucky and Charm each have a Mini Luge.
You can't beat $2.99 for a brand new sled that retails for $35. My Goodwill store had at least 30 of these on the day I was there.
Brand New 9 Foot Tilting Umbrella that was originally sold at Target. We knew about one week after purchasing the umbrella that I talked about in this post last year, that we made a mistake. It didn't tilt, so unless we used the table at high noon, it didn't help create much shade for us around the table. We've been looking for a new umbrella for awhile now. A week ago, Bill had this exact umbrella in his cart at Target. It was $75, and I told him to wait a bit for me to do a little 'research' (aka find a coupon or a sale or something).
$24.99. There were several of these umbrellas at Goodwill too. Brand new. Never been opened. Happy Day!
Next up was this cute little gold chevron box that I had purchased earlier in the week for $6 on clearance at Target. The one I found at Goodwill was brand new and was marked $2.99 (originally $19.99), so my earlier purchase went into my 'return' basket in the mudroom. I go to Target often enough that $3 is worth it to me!
Finally, I found this stool for $2.99 which will be fun and easy to redo with a little paint and fabric.
And during a quick Sam's Club stop this week, I found this genuine sheepskin rug for $14.91 (originally $39).
And now, I'll be returning to my spring break. I'll be back next week with something fun, I hope:)! Have a great week!
I love all of the darling pictures! Lucky and Charm remind me so much of their daddy--they enjoy exactly the same things! (Of course you need to substitute "Star Wars" for "Toy Story.") Good lucky with your studies Beth!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gail! I'm happy to report that my CE needs have been met. Yeah. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures, too!
DeleteI like how Charm has on his shirt and tie (or so it looks like) and a diaper. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, he still had his tie on:). It was very Risky Business: Toddler Style. Sometimes we go pants-less around here. It sort of helps with potty training. I don't usually photograph it, but I loved watching him play 'Toy Story' that day, and I had to take a picture.
DeleteThis might sound really dumb but can I buy that Target chevron design box from you?
ReplyDeleteI've never had a request like that before:). I'm currently using it, but should I find something that works better, I'll let you know:). Also, you could think about DIYing your own version of the box using a shoe box...just find a small piece of chevron fabric and adhere it to the box. Just an idea:)! Good luck.
DeleteThanks! I know that was a really random request hahaha! But it's because I'm planning my bridesmaids boxes and all I need is one more. Obviously they're not in stores anymore but thanks a lot for the suggestions! :)
