i can't believe he's almost 1... it's flown by...

what are you guys doing for caty?

awww! thats so cute!! Finn will dig that!

We're having a bbq with Robs fam and some friends and neighbors. We went to Toys R Us yesterday to get gift ideas... we're getting her a ball pit, and this..

we've gotte nher like, 4 leapfrog toys and the v-smile. I want to get a couple more things but Rob says its enough what we have since christmas is only a month and a half later.

oh man! finn's jealous! we don't have a private yard for fun stuff like that. stupid condo living...

i have a few little things for him too. the kitchen is actually from my parents, i just picked it out. the bike is from us but he's still a little small for it so i got him a few little things that he can use right away, a few books (he's a nerd that loves to read!) and a playmobil 123 firetruck. i think that's it... i work in a toy store and i have a huge bag filled with stuff on hold. i don't even remember what i've put in it.

yeah! We tried to get both the kids bikes or trikes and they are both still too short. Jacobs almost 3 feet tall and still cant reach the pedals when they are all the way out. Idont get it the boxes say 2 but hes too short.. and he's in the 60th percentile for height so hes not short for his age.

Weird.

Get him the Lil' Quad! We got one for the kids and they LOVELOVELOVE it!

i told you i'm a bargain hunter!

i like being able to buy him nice things even though we be po'. i'm always on the lookout for a bargain.

my best bargain was when i found this for $2-

Geez, maybe I should let you Christmas shop for me. You can just ship me the presents.

where do u find these deals at?!?

nick and i are both dorks and we belong to different 'bargain hunter' forums, that's we find most of our deals.

nerd alert!

i also get a lot of stuff from work, i get a 30% discount and that applies to clearance too. so i try to plan for the future and if i see something good on clearance, even if he can't use it for a couple years, i buy it.

i bought the kettler trike with pushbar for 50% off and then 30% off that. i think it ended up being $35.

when i was still pregnant we got a *ton* of thomas stuff for christmas 08.

i need to start making a list, i have stuffed stashed all over and i can't even remember what/where half of it is.

lol u are a big dork

but a smart one!

PM me those bargain hunter things if u dont mind!

Ooooooh, i love a good bargin!!

Brian calls me cheap, i call it "being careful"

lol Michie ur so cute.

Me too, B! I'm super cheap. My mom always preferred the term frugal, though. I don't care I just say cheap.
