Target Haul

Call me crazy, but I love good deals!! Target just had all of their clearanced toys marked to 75% off....so for the past two days the girls and I have gone to 3 different Target stores twice! This is the best time to stock up on birthday and Christmas gifts. Not just for our kids, but for their friends and cousins too! I got all of this for $126.68. Retail = $436.73 


The Haul:
Lots of Zoobles, Zooble Storage & Zoobles Playset
Polly Pocket w/ car
Kid's Ice Cream Maker
Train Track Expansion (to one we already have)
8 tubs of Moon Sand
2 Squirt Guns
Sky Ball
My Generation Doll (like American Girl doll)
Wheel Barrel
Mini Football
Shorts for our boy :)
Little Dump Truck
Wooden Food w/ Picnic Basket Set
2 Barbie Fairy Dress Ups
Last Word game
2 Aqua Sand Sets
Magnetic Dress Up Doll set
Q-Bitz Game
Kerplunk game
2 Motorbikes that can be put together and taken apart w/ tools
Cute Bunny Bike Helmet
Zhu Zhu Pet Accessory (now I just need to find a good deal on a Zhu Zhu pet to complete the gift)
Lemon Meringue Doll (from Strawberry Shortcake)

There are at least 8 gifts to give here. We usually spend around $20 on friends gifts so that exceeds our total out of pocket right there! Then we practically have the girls Christmas done now! Besides listening to a few things that they really want and we'll probably get those. The only problem with having the girls with me when I get this stuff is that they see most of it. I try to keep them distracted and have told them that everything is for their friends. Hopefully they will forget about it by the time Christmas rolls around! We've already got 2 presents wrapped up now for upcoming birthday parties in the next 2-5 weeks. :)

This is random and not related to this post at all. But the girls are doing this as I type so I thought I'd mention it. They are watching a Stranger Safety video.......this is their 2nd time in 3 days! They must really enjoy it AND I've noticed them doing the things they are learning in this video. Like, wait for Mom before answering the door if someone knocks/rings doorbell. Always stay near a parent when out of the house, don't talk to stranger unless a parent is with you and says it's okay.

You are the best at getting great deals. I can't believe how long it's been since I've looked at your blog. I have been a slacker. I can't believe that Avery is almost 3! I was just uploading my blog to make a book and was looking at a picture of Adeline w/ Avery as a newborn at the hospital. Weird how time flies. I also love love your house and your backyard. All I can say is I am so jealous. I hate our house here... if that's what you want to call it :) Miss you guys!

great deals! i wonder if all Targets had that going on. I would've stocked up!! I always forget to come to your blog because, since it's private, it doesn't pop up as updated on my blog roll. Is there any way I can change that? We are getting close!!! 18 days for me. CANNOT wait!
