Gift Cards

Monday we didn't get nearly as much done as we had hoped but such is life.  The boys got gift cards to GameStop, Target and Toys R Us.  Let me tell you, when all else fails, buy gift cards!  They love them!  They love picking out their own things and its fun watching them carefully make a selection.  So of course we had to go to GameStop to spend them.  They each picked out a game for their new X-Box and have been happily playing them ever since. 

Tuesday Matt had to go back to work (BOO!) so it was off to Target to spend THOSE gift cards for the rest of us.  I am telling you, they burn a hole in their pocket, can't spend them fast enough!  There they bought a remote and chargers for the X-Box.  We are also redoing our bathroom (still) so we picked out the new paint color and a rug.  We went to Lowe's to look at mirrors but no purchases have been made.  I will post pictures when its all done, it shall be lovely!  We also ran to the bank and library to pick up Back to the Future 2 and 3.

At night we had planned on going to Olive Garden for dinner since we had gift cards there (don't know where the boys learn to spend theirs so quickly?) but the line was literally out the door so we went to Perkins instead.  Made a quick trip to Old Time Pottery (Ethan's favorite store) after where we picked up some new rugs for the hallways and kitchen and also some new decorations for next year, can't beat the sales.  We had a nice evening with the boys watching Back to the Future 2.
