Shopping Saturday

Today was a long and busy afternoon/evening of shopping... We worked around the house this morning... I stopped at the bank before they closed to deposit money, withdrawal money and cash checks... We then headed out at 2 to run our errands... We headed to MN to the Library Book Sale... I found 3 great books... Didn't really have much of a selection in the subject I was looking to expand my own collection... Next we went to the downtown library... Dropped a couple envelopes off in the PO Drop Box... We dropped Monkey off in Drop Off Child Care Place that charges by the hour... We had some last minute shopping for his birthday to do... We went to a local furniture place while there was just us and Peanut... We found this awesome couch but wanted to think about it and make sure it was the one we wanted... We headed home to pick up our oldest... It was now 5 PM... We dropped off Book Sale Books, Library Stuff to make room for shopping and picked up some items we were going to return... We headed to K-Mart to return an item... Next we went back to the couch place to measure it and ask a few more questions... Despite the fact we have to wait 3 weeks for it to come in (they usually estimate longer then it takes, we've bought several things from this particular place)... We placed a deposit on it and now it's on it's way and should be here soon... Here is the Couch we bought... It is a 'green' shade... We think it will go nicely in our living room and when you sit down you never want to get up again... LOL... So you have had a fair warning when you visit to beware the couch you never want to leave again... Next we went to the $1 store and bought our usual items... I picked up an adorable Easter Towel for the kitchen... We also picked up "Birthday" supplies... It was off to Toys R Us to pick up the last of the birthday gifts... We even picked up 2 of the children's Easter Gifts... We place one small toy in their Easter basket... Next we went to Target and returned an item and did a ton of shopping... Picked up another pack of diapers for our little blessing... So, we are building a small stock... It is the only thing we need really is diapers... We have the perfect stroller now Thanks to a good friend and I pick up the car seat next month... I mean what else does a baby need? The next thing we buy besides lots and lots of diapers is a highchair... That won't be till late Fall... We picked up Monkey from child care and headed to the grocery store... I ran in quick alone and picked up things for Tacos... We made it home just after 8 PM... I made Tacos with all the fixings for dinner... We also had French Fries, Fried Periogies (husband thing), Mozzerella Sticks, and Mini Taco Rolls (frozen kind)... It was delicious and we were all stuffed... We cleaned up the kitchen and did a couple loads of Laundry... The children disappeared one by one up to bed starting with Monkey, followed by our oldest and lastly Peanut fell asleep on her recliner and my husband carried her up to bed when I went to sleep... It was a great day!!!
