Thank You Grandma and Poppy



















Well it's a chilly overcast Tucson day. Can't take the kids out because of their allergies, so we paid Target a visit. The kids got gift cards from their Grandma and Poppy for Christmas so I thought today would be a great day to take them to spend it. We get to Target and as soon as I saw the parking lot I wanted to pull back out. But, I had already promised the kids and I'm not one for breaking promises. So we walk in and I was pleasantly surprised that the store itself didn't seem to crowded. So I did my shopping first and then took the kids over to the toy section. They were so excited and went nuts. First we did the girlie isles for Kailee since it normally takes her less time to pick a toy out than Justin. That wasn't the case this time. She was like a kid in a candy store. She was so indecisive. They had tons of toys on Clarence and I wanted to buy up a ton of toys for next Christmas and their upcoming birthdays but I refrained. Kailee ended up picking out her Disney Princess mermaid barbie and new Dora tag book. Justin on the other hand went nuts in the car section. He picked out a ten pack of hot wheels and then he found a police car and train for his new Geo track. Then we walked up and down the rest of the toys just so they could make sure that's what they wanted. Both decided to keep what they picked so we decided to leave. As soon as we got back to the car I realized my total was quite a bit higher than I expected so I started going over my receipt. The Barbie Kailee picked ended up ringing up 13 dollars more than it was marked. So I had the kids all buckled and ready to go and I had to unbuckle them load them back in a cart and go all the way back in. The best part I had to go stand in the huge return and exchange line. :( They Barbie ended up being put in the wrong place along with 7 others but we ended up getting her on sale. Then the kids and I went back to the car and came home. By this time it's so late I can't put the kids down for their naps so they are playing with their new toys.
