Ninja Money

The Tooth Fairy has been very generous to our top teeth recipients lately.  It all started about three weeks ago when our oldest lost both of his top teeth due to an unfortunate run in with a dressing room door on a back to school shopping trip.  He earned five dollars due to pain and suffering and what not.

This little fella had a run in with a knee during a wrestling match Tuesday night.  The tooth came out during the night.  We thought he swallowed it but ended up finding it in his bed.  Last night the Tooth Fairy brought him $2.50 for his tooth. 

He came in my bathroom this morning and laid the loot on my counter and unveiled his big plans.  We're going to go get frozen yogurt and then I want to go to the pizza place and get me and my brothers 11 Ninja's from the toy machine.  Melt.  He wants to spend his tooth money on toys for him and his brother.

Targe' And A Coffee

I'm always amazed at how two hours at T.J. Maxx and Targe' paired with a Caramel Macchiato can make the world go round.  It can turn even the most mundane day into sparkling happiness.  Even walking by the Pampers aisle makes you smile as you smell the faintest baby powder smell.

This cute little denim shirt found its way into my buggy.  I just couldn't leave without it.  It is adorable.  You can roll the sleeves up a little, wear a white tank underneath, pop up the collar, add some silver jewelry and wear it with khaki or black pants. 

This purple dress was equally swoony.  The color is gorgeous.  Anything boatneck makes me extra happy.  Does it you?  This little dress is only $19.99 and would look amazing with silver.

I ended my two hour shopping trip with a little magazine reading.  Coastal Homes, Country Decor, Romantic Homes...it's my version of playing with toys in the package and then not buying them.  Anyway, who has enough money to buy magazines these days?  $14.99 a pop-are you kidding me?  Haven't the editors heard of a little thing called Pinterest where you can browse for free?  Eh, no matter, it was great, great fun to be out in the wide open world! 

Full Moon

Welcome to a new segment on my blog called Life With Boys.  This segment will have to do with all things related to bodily parts, smells, sounds, Sports, Crazy Antics and all things non-girly.

Aaaaand we're potty training.  What can I say, kid will set the house alarm off to step out back to drain the ol' snake.  Please do pardon me, but if I am being quite honest this is a term that make us laugh uproariously around here.

 

You can imagine my shock and chagrin when we took a family shopping trip to the Wal-Marts last weekend to peruse the 75% Christmas sales.  It is no surprise that when I am in a retail environment I enter a Retail Therapy Induced Trance.  That is code for my eyes are diverted from my children periodically.  I take my eyes off Little Bit for 2 seconds so I can read a label and try to decipher if buying 7 small living Christmas trees to plant in my back yard which will grow up to 15 feet tall each is the right course of action for my $28 plus tax.

I look up and I'll be darned if I'm not looking at him standing similar to the picture below, only a full moon because he's got on a shorter shirt.  He has stepped forward to open the sliding doors in the Lawn & Garden dept.  Apparently he felt this was 'outside enough' to drop his drawers and drain the ol' snake.

My Superhero husband swept him up and took him to Men's to finish business in a more high class manner.  Can you get kicked out of the Wal-Marts if you pee out in Lawn & Garden?  Well, don't ask me,  we didn't exactly follow through.

 

(p.s. in case you are wandering, no, i did not buy an insane amount of garganchoo trees just because they were a steal...even I have limits)
