A Victory...
Oh my goodness. It was nice to have nothing we had to do today. We could just hang and do what we wanted to when we wanted to, for the most part. The busier we get and the most stuff we try to cram into our lives to do, the more I seem to enjoy days like this. So, Jim and I are relaxing listening to the Red Sox game (hoping Bucholtz can pull it off). That, and I'm popping TUMS like they're going out of style because Smalls is giving me some serious heartburn. Good times, I tell you.
Caroline and I had some girl time this morning and gave Daddy some time to himself. We went Garage Sale-ing. The pickings this summer have sort of been few and far between, but let me tell you - today we made out like bandits. We ended up spending about $30, which I consider a lot to spend at garage sales - but we got some great stuff.
I was able to pick up a maternity shirt and two pairs of maternity jeans for a dollar each. HOORAY! And the jeans are even boot cut. With them on, I look like one styling preggo, if I do say so myself.
Caroline got a cute hooded sweatshirt, a flannel nightgown, a nice long sleeve t-shirt and 2 pairs of overalls for $1.25 total. Pretty good, huh?
Smalls definitely got the best end of the deal today. He ended up getting 12 polo/t-shirts (one even being a #23 baseball jersey), 3 pairs of pajamas, a green frog pantsuit, 2 pairs of khakis, 3 pairs of overalls, 2 shorts / t-shirt outfits, a sweatsuit and a pants/onsie/jacket set. I spent more on him than I did the two of us, but the vast majority of his stuff is from places like Gymboree, the Gap, and The Children's Place (great stuff, but ridiculously expensive) and is very gently worn, if it doesn't still have tags on it.
Oh - and to top everything off - we also found a HUGE box of Mega Blocks for $5!
It was kind of like Christmas in September.
Okay - time for bed. It's the top of the ninth - I"m getting nervous and need to re-focus...
