ahh...Saturday Mornings

Oh how we love our Saturday mornings!

1st to McDonalds to feed the baby monsters--no problems this time, although Sherman and i didn't try and complicate things.

2nd to the Garage Sales! -- i had checked on craigslist the night before so we would no where to go first. The first 4 or so were duds and it seemed it just wasn't our day--but then... we found a moving sale with a military family, two baby girls and everything in the house was for sale!


We got this Bumbo chair and tray along with the tummy time mat below for $20, both don't look like they've even been used. Just the bumbo chair alone is $50 then an extra $15 for the tray at Walmart--so i'd say that's a deal!
This cute surfboard tummy time mat is actually on our registry, they make a boy and girl version although i have only seen the blue one on island--and it's $20 at Target, so we basically got it for free.Then we got all these clothes for $5....all newborn sizes and nothing in the first pic has even been worn before--probably cause most people don't need too many newborn clothes, but since there's a good chance our babies could be a bit small, and they were such a good deal, i didn't want to pass them up!

more of the $5 clothes....little Sunday dresses with bloomers!
and a super cute 0-3 month bathing suit--which are virtually impossible to find i have realized

It was definitely a good garage sale day for baby girl...poor baby boy is going to have to wait...it's so much harder to find cute boy stuff!
Also for some good news, we received our first package from Amazon today with baby boy's bedding in it! I am in love and can't wait for baby girl's to come in so we can start painting the room. I will give a sneak preview soon!

The rest of the day will be spent organizing the bathrooms, cleaning out underneath our bed and then hopefully we'll have dinner with our friends and their new little girl.
Happy Weekend!

-golf balls- 6 for $1
