Grocery shopping is usually a solo affair for me because it’s just plain faster.
On this particular day though in mid January I believe they all had dental appointments on the grocery night, so the most efficient thing to do was to go get the groceries after their checkups.
Thunderer was tired after Sam’s so she opted, even when starting to be buried, to stay in the cart.
That ice cream you see? Well, Redflare’s birthday was just around the corner, same with Little Miss’.

Home is where the decorations are.
After the pumpkin patch we stopped by Menards real quick on the way home. A section of our fence blew down and we wanted to price how much the new slats and posts would be.
While there we enjoyed looking at some of the Christmas decorations… a bit early, but fine, go ahead Menards, as long as I’m not setting up my tree yet I guess you can go ahead.

I can’t remember exactly why we headed out to the mall, I think it involved one of the kids needing shoes.
It gave us an opportunity for them to admire a giant teddy bear as we passed through the closing Herberger’s though.
And also a chance to admire a squishy face.
And a contented face.

One of Redflare’s favorite shirts right now is this wolf one.
No, it isn’t that shirt.
What shirt?

It’s close though.
What I find funny is that until I mentioned the reference I don’t think the reference was even remembered. She just likes it, and that’s all that matters.

A friend of mine recently had their first baby so we put together a little congratulatory box to celebrate with them.
Perhaps this will inspire some gift ideas for a family with a new baby elsewhere. I know Redflare would have loved getting something like this.

I can’t recall the occasion at this point, but in February we ventured out to the thrift store (they were probably having a book sale) and scored some amazing book deals (again).
I have no qualms with filling our house with books. Redflare finds some really awesome reads and they’re cheap!

Little Miss is showing off Redflare’s new shirt and the pants that are going to get returned to Target.
I know it’s the fashion, but when I order pants for my kids I don’t expect them to come pre-holey.

The library had its yearly sale.
We made off like bandits.
Hard to resist $1 for filling a paper bag.
Any we don’t like? Trade the local little free libraries or book trading sites like book mooch. It’s quite the win-win.

Redflare was released into a thrift store recently.
I’m really looking forward to what she decides to make from that Chinese cookbook.

It’s dangerous to go into a thrift store alone… here, take a box when you do.
