Sales

Most of my days lately are spent being nauseous and focusing on not throwing up. So, it was a nice change to have a fun afternoon out and about with my family. 

We needed to go to Target to pick up a wedding shower gift for next weekend. But, first we stopped at Payless to look for shoes for Tate. The last pair I bought was a pair of leather sandals that, within about a week, started smelling like stinky feet. Being nauseous all the time, we cannot have stinky feet! Well, I found a cute pair that fit him well, but they were $27. I don't know about you, but I happen to think it's ridiculous to pay $27 for toddler shoes. We decided to go ahead and spend the money, though, because he really does need shoes right now. They were having a buy one get one 50% off sale, so I also grabbed a pair of swim shoes for this summer. When we went to check out, the $27 shoes were on sale for only $9! $9 people!!! I was SO excited. That made my whole day. 

Cute new shoes 

Swimming shoes- which totally do NOT match his swimsuit. :(

But, the savings don't stop there! 

Then, we went to Target and picked up our shower gift. And, I found the last Mother's Day card we needed which was exciting. I kinda suck at getting cards and gifts and getting them out 

on time. This year will be different! 

So, anywho, since we were there, I wanted to see if they had the carseat I've been eyeing for Tate. We didn't want to buy it there (cheaper at Walmart), but I wanted to make sure Tate fit in it before we purchased it and figured AJ could lift it for me. They did, indeed, have the carseat, but this one was green (the Walmart one is gray). We pulled the carseat off the shelf, set it on the floor, and had Tate sit in it. He loved it and I was excited that he fit and was planning on looking online to see if they sold green ones at Walmart. THEN, I looked down and saw a SALE sign! The wonderful green carseat was on sale for less than the Walmart price. Hooray for me! So, AJ said "go for it" and that beautiful carseat is mine all mine. 

Don't you just love it?!

Perhaps I should take a moment to explain my instant obsession with the greenness. Because Tate is so big, I don't have much (or any) choice in which carseat I buy. Most forward facing harness seats only go up to 40 lbs. This one goes up to 65 lbs with the 5-point harness and then up to 100 lbs with a regular seat belt or as a backless booster seat. Of course, there are others that have high weight limits, but those are the ones that cost $200-$300 and since we need 2 of them, that's just not happening. With his last carseat, my only color choice was black. This time, I was resigned to the gray carseat and that was fine, but green is so much better!!!  Don't you think?!

Then, we finished up the night with dinner at Chili's which was delicious! Overall, it was a fantabulous afternoon, because of a couple of lovely sales and my hubby who treated us to dinner. :)
