Retail Therapy

Yesterday was super busy for us. I had an appointment first thing in the morning that didn't work out since the nurse scheduled me to be in the Mcallen office when I was at the Harlingen office. So since I now had all that extra time on my hands with no kiddos or husband, I decided to do a few errands! And we all know what that means!!


I can do so much when I don't have my kids with me! It's unreal.



I went to CVS and snatched some free gum and a razor





Then I went to Target to grab the last 4 of those Strawberry Shortcake toys for free. And along the way I found this SUPER CUTE purple dress! I know it looks kind of plain, but it's VERY cute. On me. Which is NOT something I say a lot.





Then I went to Hobby Lobby to grab some more pumpkins and leaf garland for my cupboard tops
What do ya think? I have to go get one more garland because it wasn't long enough to go all the way around. But I like it!

(pay no mind to the dirty counters or pans with egg in them!)




Then I went to HEB and got the kids vits and LOTS of candycorn so I could do this

I LOVE filling vases with candy! I think it's so cute!







Then there was Walmart for a few good deals.




The cottonell wipes were free
Toothbrushes were $2.97ea
The dish soap was free
That HUGE bad of crunch bars I got for $2 for the trick or treaters
The glade candles are on rollback for $2.33 and I have a B2G1 Free coupon
The muffin mixes are on rollback for $1.47ea and I had a $0.50 coupon so a buck each isn't bad!


And I had plans for the mall, but Dave called and said Steven fell off the couch and was crying for me. So you know I just had to race home and comfort my little guy. And boy does he have a goose egg! Looks like pictures will be postponed for another week!! I'm starting to think there is some conspiracy going on.........


So with me home comforting Steven, Dave decided he and Jakers needed to go out and spend some time together! Jake didn't really want to leave at first, but then when toys and ice cream were mentioned he ran to go put on his shoes.
A couple hours later Jake came back with some goodies!


Jake LOVES puzzles

Daddy got him a new mitt and ball since his old one was made of plastic and broken
(again, pay you no mind to the pile of clean clothes behind Jake)

Some poprocks and judging by the chocolate on his face, I'm guessing they also went out for ice cream


THEN we had to go to the recycling center because our trash was starting to overflow.
We love to recycle. It make us feel better. Like we are doing our part in trying to keep our planet clean.

And all those boxes from online shopping are recycled too.




Then after the recycling center Dave ran into the liquor store! Why the heck did we go there? Because we are making homemade vanilla!

See...



Did you know all it takes to make homemade vanilla is some vodka and lots of vanilla beans?! We are making it now so we can give it away to our buddies come Chistmas time!

Well that's all I got for now!
