Shopping Madness

Today is the big day! The thrifty stores go half-off. Oh. My. Stars.
Carla and I took the chance that we would make it through the experience in one piece, and set off early this morning. Stopped by the first store, not many people, not too bad, got a bunch of stuff for Eli and a pair of pants for me for two bucks. (whoohoo!) We both found lots of bargains, and agreed to hit the next thrifty store. Madness, I tell you! Wall-to-wall people! AUGGHHHH! I was talking to one lady that said she had a cartfull at one time, and people were grabbing stuff out of her cart, so she bought what she had left, took it to her car and came back for more.
I only had to look for one thing--cleat shoes for Eli. There were three pairs, all size 13. He has pretty big feet, but not quite 13 yet. Bummer.
Carla found more treasures in the children's clothing department, we waited in line for a while to check out, and we were out of there. Got to our car and were immediately accosted by two parking vultures. I don't know who got the spot, but we made it out alive.
Hey Carla, looking forward to next year!

Also a couple of milestones today:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KORI!
and Dad, we miss you.
