The new Target ads are cracking me up! I love this Santa Rap. Anyone know if this is a real song?

When you get to be a certain age… reading glasses are normal.. (or so I’m told).

Is this normal?

Probably not.. but this is what he gets for telling me I look

like the chick on Criminal minds with the crazy colored glasses on.

Whatever!

Black Friday… one of the days #1 and I look forward to all year long. We love the bargains, and people watching.. but mostly love the time we get to spend together. We make a list on Thanksgiving Day of all the things we need, and figure out what time we need to be there to get those things.

You didn’t really think I was going to show you the list did you?

This Black Friday morning we left the house at 3:45AM and

headed up to Target in Olathe, Kansas. Target was

having a sale on a couple of things we needed and one thing

Patrick needed.

We arrived at Target around 4:30AM. There was already a HUGE

LINE. The white arrow is where the corner of Target starts…

the red arrow is where Patrick and #1 are waiting. The line got

even longer as it got closer to 5:00AM. (When Target opened)

Here’s #1 and Patrick waiting with their SUPER COOL bags

Target handed out to the first 500 people in the store.

Here’s Patrick loading up “the beast”. I highly recommend

having Patrick go shopping with you.. why? He loads the car,

pushes the cart through the traffic jams (so we can go on ahead

and shop).

We shopped at several places.. Target, Old Navy, Avenue, Starbucks,

Michael’s,Mardel, Hobby Lobby, S Scents, Apple Store, and Costco.

I think when you go to bed as late as we did (12:30AM) and leave

as early as we did.. you are pretty tired. That is what I’m going to

blame what happened next on.. being tired. Around lunchtime we

headed to On The Border restaurant. Like most Mexican

restaurants they serve chips and salsa.

Patrick thought the chips were rather large and decided to

karate chop them in the bowl.

Patrick (being exhausted) didn’t realize how funny that was to

#1 and I.

He still doesn’t realize we are laughing because of his “karate”.

I believe he get’s it now…

Really.. It was funny.. or maybe we were exhausted and that made

it funny.

Some of our loot.. This year I’m sad to say we did not go to Toys R Us.

We’ve gone every year.. but this year, we decided there wasn’t anything

we needed THAT bad. You see when we go to Toys R Us one of us stands in the

already formed check outline.. while the other shops! There is always a line to

get into Toys R Us, and a line to check out. This check out line wraps and

weaves in and around the store.

I told you she was tired.. She’s sleep walking! Rest up #1 you have 364

days until your next Black Friday adventure.

If you are reading this on November 27th.. I’m probably shopping… Yes, I’m one of those. I go shopping at the crack of dawn on Black Friday. I’m planning on taking my semi-broken camera… and hoping that it works so I can document my day.

Turkey .. Turkey.. Turkey. We traditionally go to my Mother in law’s house on Thanksgiving. My children love leftovers.. so we have Thanksgiving at our house earlier in the week. I didn’t take very many photos.. (because my camera is having issues..)

The Turkey-lurky-lickle.. (name what song that’s from)…

Here’s The Man.. doing his thing.

A little Pumpkin Pecan Pie…

Here’s a few of the Pecan Pie Tartlets I made

Here they are together YUM…

Here’s #3 making the super cute napkin rings…

Adorable!
