FRIDAY was going to be a GREAT day. . .
(can you hear the fun music playing in the background)
My husband had the day off - A whole day with nothing particularly planned
(except me running all my errands without my children - could there be a better day?)
It was a GREAT day until 10:00 am when my husband got the phone call that he had a trial going out on Monday . . . so exit the plans of running errands without the children and enter husband going into work all day long.
ENTER TARGET
(my friend Jen had called me and told me I had to get to Target. All their backpacks and bags were on major clearance (like $3.00 clearance).
I packed all three kids in the car and made the 30 second drive to Target.
So I head to the school supply section where there are backpacks on clearance - but not a "whole wall" like Jen had said.
I found the SLING backpack that Kale wanted (for next year of course) but have to admit I was a little disappointed that we had made the 30 second drive for only 1 backpack.
So when we get home I call Jen. . .
"So I only found one backpack"
"What? Was it that picked over?"
"Well not all of them were on sale - only half that aisle"
"Kaylynn, were you in the clearance section at the back corner of the store?"
"What? No I was in the school supply section."
"Kaylynn, the whole back wall of the store is on clearance"
"KIDS get your shoes back on!"
And off we went. . .
Here's what we came home with - and my bill $19.70 (something cents)!!!!!
The good bargain was helping me get over how unexcited my kids were to go to Target twice in 5 minutes!!!!
We made it up to them on SATURDAY NIGHT!
We had movie night - but not in the family room. . .
AT THE PARK!
We watched HAPPY FEET sitting together on a blanket under the stars eating popcorn!
I think the best time was walking home in the dark. The kids had their headlamps on and here was this family taking a walk at about 10:00 at night. I bet we were hilarious.
So I guess the weekend wasn't a total loss. . .
(By the way - Monday morning the trial my husband spent his entire day off prepping for PLEAD)
