Shopping Success!

Isn't it a great feeling when you have a shopping trip that you have been planning on, and it goes smoothly?  Today was a lot of fun - the boys and I met DH's mother at the mall to do a little back-to-school shopping.  After about an hour and half, we were pretty  much done!  We stopped and had a nice lunch, then the kids and I played at the playground, and headed home.  Now we're enjoying a bit of quiet time  before getting ready for church tonight.  Let me tell you - we're getting better at shopping the sales!  Gymboree is having a great sale - t-shirts are $5.99 and we saw things on the racks anywhere from 20% to 60% off!  We also got $25 Gymboree Bucks off of our next $50 purchase.  Then we headed to Old Navy where they had jeans for the kids for $8.  Stride Rite has a great sale going - buy one, get one 50% off!  So we got two pairs of NICE Stride Rite shoes for about $80.  After playing at the playground (where DS2 laid the smack-down on a boy who thought he could push my kid around) we went off to the Disney store and got DS2 a lunch box and backpack for $19!  I'll have to take and post pictures of all our finds later today, but for now, I'm basking in the enjoyment of a job well done and a house full of tired little boys :)
