Sucker For A Sale

I love a good sale. Today I went and got Easter décor from Kroger & Dollar General on my lunch hour for next to nothing (as if I needed any more!). For those of you that don’t “really” know me….I am my Granny’s child. I love to decorate for the seasons and I go hog wild with it. I even decorate the bathrooms. It is a joke in the family that I decorate with a toilet seat cover at Christmas like Granny. Anyway, my favorite find today was ducks for Anna K’s birthday party. Jules found some on clearance at Wal-Mart yesterday and Mama already bought some last month at Garden Ridge….that child is going to have all kinds of ducks at her little b-day party. Fun times for her!
I am BOGOing this weekend for some wedges and may get some Dora sandals for Anna K. as my half off pair. Oh, the sacrifices I make for those loves! You know Anna has to have cheese and crackers every time Dora comes on. Whether it is 9 am, 1 pm, or 7 pm, when she sees Dora she high tails it to the kitchen for her cheese and crackers. She even thought she was Dora for a while, but she is now past that stage.
If you see a sale on Fisher Price digital cameras, message me and let me know. I am hunting those for the D’S (Dave & Dan) birthday. My cousin Claire got one for her birthday and it is the cutest thing. Dave loves to look at the screen after we take his picture so I know he will be tickled to have it. I just hope I can find it at a reasonable price, as I have to buy two of them and Anna’s birthday gift. I love that my sister choose to have three kids 4 days apart and I am the only aunt. It truly drains my pocket book but the expressions on their faces and the excitement in their voices make it worth the effort.
Speaking of sales….I got a fantastic deal on a car last week. It was an insane adventure but one that I will always remember. Thanks to Mama and to Skim, I love you for all you did for me Friday. What a day it was. I actually have seat warmers in my new ride! Rand says I sound redneck bragging about it but it was the first thing Mama and I tried out when we got in it, so call us rednecks, we don’t care! What a deal it was….God is good all the time for sure. If you need to buy a car, call me….I am a pro at it now.
Well as you can see, I am all about a good buy and felt like ranting about it today. Thanks for reading all of this nonsense.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
