Play Area and Deals

I just realized this post that I posted this morning was my 501 post on my blog. WOW has time flown by!! The blog started when we were waiting for Mia-- a month or two before we got our referral-- and has turned into something much more than I ever imagined. Kind of an online scrap book. I love blogging and I enjoy all the wonderful people I meet along the way. Blogging has truly blessed my life.

So happy 501 posts to me--lol!!!!

The other day after we were done at the dentist with Owen Mia and I met auntie Cassie at the mall play area for Mia to play. It was a warm beautiful day so we took advantage of the nice conditions.

This slide is totally steep but Mia has no fear! Other moms always freak out watching her go down but she does a great job and as soon as she hits the bottom she runs back up to go down again. Brave little thing!!

And she's off!!

I love how she walks with her hands behind her back. It is so cute and she does it all the time.


Spinning and spinning!!

Getting ready to go!

Love her in this little outfit!

I was on my way home from work last Thursday and my friend Suzanne from church left me a message that CROCS- as in the shoes-- had moved into a closed store out by our house and they were having a clearance warehouse sale. Basically they had a TON of inventory and they were just liquidating it for next to nothing. Crocs of all kinds (mary janes, kids, adults etc) and styles were either $5 or $10. It was crazy!!! Also, Crocs makes clothes and they are really nice quality. They had all their shirts for men and woman (not much kid stuff but I was able to buy Ethan a men's medium and Owen a small-- pretty big but I will save them for next school year) but these nice shirts were regular price anywhere from $22 to $58 and they were $3 each. Yes you read right $3 each. I went crazy. I bought a ton of shirts for the boys and a ton for Kevin. They are really nice quality and I know they will wash well and best of all they were next to free-- holy cow $3!!!!

So here is the loot-- some of it-- not all

Here are all Mia' s summer crocs including a lavender sandal that is so darn cute. I bought each boy a new pair as well. They each already have a couple pairs. Notice the bag of jibs (little decorative things that go in croc holes). The jibs were $.25 each. I bought a ton of them because they are usually $5+ each. I got Disney ones for Mia and official hockey ones for the boys. I got so many and paid only $1 for 4-- love it!!

Here are some of the boys shirts I bought. Some had already been taken upstairs but here is a sampling. Notice the silver mary jane crocs on my feet. I bought myself a pair because they were $5 and how could I resist? I don't wear crocs often but they will be cool outside around the pool this summer.

Here are most of the shirts I bought Kevin. They look great on him and are wonderful quality-- $3 I swear it is crazy but really only $3!!!

So that was my excitement last Thursday. Kevin thought I was crazy for taking pictures of the loot but I thought my frugal bloggy friends would appreciate my find!!

Have a great week!!!
