Garage Saling

(Pardon the snot and drool. He's still sickish.)
I like garage sales. I've found good things before. But I'm not one of those people who gets up every Saturday at 6am to go to them. I get mad when I get to a sale at 11:00 and they're already closed. Especially when I made a special trip for it. Now that Jake is sitting up on his own and it's still 6 weeks until Christmas, I thought we needed to head out and look for some "floor toys". Today I found all of these and spend just $18. We have:
a taggie football that jingles
the drums that play music
phone and remote that play music
bead maze toy that plays music
story book butterfly that sings to you
stacking rings that play music
ball drop toy that plays music
and the xylophone.
Can you see a (noisy) theme here? I'll tell you that my back seat was very noisy on the drive home. I also got 6 Leap Frog DVDs for only $20. I was really excited about those.
Jake has already figured out the xylophone...


Little Rockers!

I figure it's probably been used before, but I thought that "Little Rockers" would be an excellent name for citizens of Little Rock. Eh?
This message is a public service announcement for all Little Rockers. It is in regards to the fact that two of the greatest things ever are coming to Little Rock very soon. We just got a Forever 21, but these are even better!
As I walking up to the Target in west Little Rock yesterday, I saw a sign on the outside of the building informing me that "Target will remain open during construction." I though, "eh?" I looked to the end of the building and saw a gated off area for future construction. I walked inside to see a temporary wall put up near the front door and this beautiful wonderful amazing sign:

TARGET IS BECOMING A SUPERTARGET!!! If you've never experienced a SuperTarget, you're in for a wonderful treat. Grocery store! Starbucks! Jelly Belly candy bin aisle! It didn't have an opening date, but it's wonderful news. SuperTarget is about the best store ever. Ten bajillion times better than that stupid Super WalMart. (Yes. This sign has the same set of four pictures on there twice. Don't ask me about that one.)

Then... I had heard this rumor several months ago and then heard it on the radio a few weeks ago, so you may have heard by now. We're also getting a The Container Store! Apparently many Little Rockers are unaware of the awesomeness that is The Container Store. Just visit the site and see just a small bit of what is available there. It's wondrous. The grand opening is March 8th and 9th:


YAY!


And... One week until LOST!
