02/01/2004 Archived Entry: "what a weekend"
It has been a mighty busy and fun weekend! Let's see now, where to start... I guess I can start with Saturday since there's not much to tell about Thursday and Friday, except they cancelled school on Friday, and Greg's grandparents met him in town to pick up 'Taye so we could go shopping for the birthday stuff.
Saturday morning baby Angela woke up sick so after we got her tummy settled and saw that she would be ok I took her to my mom's, because I knew she wouldn't feel like a long car trip and then traipsing in and out of all the stores. I came back and we loaded up with Bradley and headed for Nashville. We took Waymond with us again, because the game system he got down there 2 weeks ago stopped working Saturday morning.
We hit the shoe store first to return the pair of shoes that Greg got me that was too big and had planned on getting another pair of them in the right size but they didn't have any *sigh* so we ambled over to the kids shoes and finally found Bradley a pair of Nike that fit real well! so that had us off to a good start :) it is so hard to find shoes that fit him well, so we were pretty happy then. It was time for ToysRUs after that, and I was in major shop mode lol we ended up getting the kids about 10 dvds or so, using some of the gift card money, and of course I had to search thru the toys for the birthday gifts, and of course they were out of stock of what we wanted *sigh* Target was next on the list, we returned the shoes we got Bradley a week ago that were too big, then toys here we come lol I finally found Angela a Rainbow Brite doll, they had the big doll which was a major no-no because she refuses to play with anything bigger than she is, she tells us "garbage" if it's too big lol I spotted a pack that had Starlite (horse) the doll and her little fuzzy friend (can't remember his name lol) and it was on sale for the same price as the poseable doll so of course I had to get that since the child adores horses :)
I got her a baby back-pack too that has twins and a bear too, she has been asking for a big backpack like the kids use for school, but those things are big enough to put her in lol so this was just perfect and it will actually fit so she can wear it. We headed for the "boy toys" next, and I swear we spent more time there than any other area in the store, guess that's what I get for having Greg, Bradley & Waymond all there huh ;) Bradley finally picked out his toys, I honestly have no idea what they are rofl I know one of them has "little people" like the fisher-price kids or whatever, it's some kind of track thing lol how awful is this? I admit I know nothing at all about boy toys! Next it was off to the mall for food and Waymond's return and a rest before I hit more stores lol
I had the guys carrying stuff and complaining and mumbling, "Ain't she ever gonna be done?" rofl I just couldn't help myself tho, I think maybe I need to visit shopper's anonymous or something ;) I got some more books, big surprise huh ;) lol I found some things for a special friend out of state, I won't say who or what, cause that would totally ruin the surprise :) The last stop I made was at yet another toy store, where I found all kinds of cool stuff lol We found another singing Boots for Angela, and the little Dora backpacks, so we got 2 of those for a special little boy's birthday, Bradley cleaned up on cars, he was in total car mode I think :) Greg got a couple of super soakers for us rofl but dang I had no idea those things would sting so bad! (yes he got me good!)
We got a few little Barbie & Kelly things for 'Taye, but I can't tell much since she is floating around in here and they are being put up for a surprise. We are trying to break the habit of everyone getting gifts on each birthday, and Bradley will get the stuff he picked out next weekend on his birthday. I tell ya all these birthdays together is making me an old woman fast! lol
I had asked Greg for a Game Cube, but I wanted to wait til they came down or we caught them on sale, well we found one! It was the last one in the store and it was a pretty good deal so now I finally have my Game Cube, and that's what I've been doing tonight is trying to figure out some of the games we rented. I don't want to buy the games until I try them out and see if I like them ya know, course we already know there's one of the Mario's we rented that we don't want, it is one of the most annoying games we have ever played lol
Enough of my rambling! Needless to say this was a very good weekend! tiresome, but goood :) (just gotta love a man that doesn't complain when I spend that much rofl)

omg too easy! when we were on the interstate Saturday night and Waymond says to Greg, "ain't this that one road, you know the one with the gate?" I almost choked to death on the spot! we both died laughing and informed him no it ain't that one road it's the big road, you know the interstate! rofl!

Hey Girl! You are definately an A-1 certified shopaholic! And you took MEN with you... ARE YOU CRAZY??? John likes to shop... but surely not that much! ROFL
I can't believe Bradley put up with it either. My boys are ok in Toys R Us, but as soon as we walk into a clothing store, let the whining begin! LOL
