Hello ladies!! Happy Black Friday! Anyone find any fabulous deals? (I saw Amy's post! Yay!)
Noelle and I were at Kohls this morning at 4 a.m.!! But it was kind of fun. She complained a little, but overall I think she had a good time so perhaps a new tradition has been born.
From there we went to Target but only bought a few things. And we went to Justice for Girls, but even at Buy 1 Get 1 Free, I still think that store is too expensive.
I've taken down all my Thanksgiving stuff and added the rest of the Christmas decorations. Now we are just enjoying a lazy day here at home.
Ok Beth....not only did I never get the Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff out, but now I need to focus so I don't miss Christmas! You are soo organized!
I decided to run out this am to see if by chance I could get the 3 things that were on my list and not available on line. I didn't get up early, just my normal time, so I figured everything would be gone by the time I got there. Went to Target first, of course the cheap tv's were gone which was probably fine anyway. We can wait on that. The other 2 things were the twin screen portable dvd ($88) and a razor scooter ($22). I went to the dvd area first and figured for sure they would be gone, then I see a man and women standing and talking, the man is holding one of them. I look on the shelf and see mostly empty space and one left!!

So I pick it up and start to walk away when I hear the women loudly say "well I guess I'm NOT going to get one for my daughter too then". I really didn't want to end up on the news due to an altercation, so I simply kept walking and continued shopping. She was clearly upset....and I guess there aren't formal rules to this whole "black friday etiquette" but I would think
if you are thinking about buying something you should pick it up??
Anyways, I felt a little bad after that but it's not like I charged them or shoved or anything. I mean it was just sitting there and they already had one in their hands. Geez!! Am I crazy?
Anyhoo, they had plenty of the scooters so I grabbed one, picked up a few $5.99 DVD's (they have a lot of good ones, 27 dresses, PS I love you, Indy, Golden Compass, The Holiday, etc) and got out of there. No lines, and I was probably in and out in 15 minutes.
Then I thought I would stop in to Kohl's and see what they had for gift items. Picked up some really soft pj's for my grandma and a purse that was 60% off for my sister-in-law, then go to get in line and OH MY GOODNESS the line is wrapping all the way around the store. And barely moving! There was no way I was going to stand in line for hours at Kohl's, not even for 2 good deals. I'm sure I can find pj's and purses on sale another day.
Then I went to starbucks and they had someone handing out samples of some new things. I tried the espresso truffle drink and the cranberry delight bar or something like that. They were both scrumptious and the sample hit the spot so I came home.
Oh and to add to the comments about kids who are slow to talk. My youngest barely said anything at all until she was 2. We took her to DL for the first time and she started talking on the trip (things like "ride" and "princess" and "biddy mouse" (mickey mouse). She turns 3 today and is still not much of a talker. She can but she chooses not to most of the time...lol.
So..I am recommending a disney trip as speech therapy
