Weekend Recap

The past two weekends have been full of family and fun (which reminds me, I really need to teach my children about alliteration).

Last weekend, my family came over to check out what we have been up to in our house.  They only live a half hour away, but when we gather, it is usually at mom and dad's house.  They had not seen the floors or the nursery or more importantly, the wii. 

[Sidebar: My family (both immediate and extended) are always way behind when it comes to technology, so while the rest of you are eagerly awaiting some new and cooler play thing, we are getting excited about the awesome deal we got on our newfangled play-pretty.] 

While I got dinner together, everyone took turns bowling.  Then mom and dad boxed, while Bekah and I laughed until we couldn't breathe.  I kept having to tell my mom to back up from the television.  Jeff kept telling her to move up (he really wants a flat screen, but again we are not on the cutting edge when it comes to technology).

Now on to this weekend...

Jeff had to take a class in Charleston and he called his sister, Carrie, to see if he could stay with her.  I, of course, had to join him.  Carrie was able to get time off from work too and we played together.  I have no pictures of us because we spent the majority of our time discovering and immersing ourselves in the world of children's consignment.  We tried shopping at the outlets, but after seeing those prices at the consignment store, we couldn't even bear to pay sale prices. 

I know what you are saying..."SE, you need to stop buying stuff...SE, everything you bought looks like it is for a boy." Well, I couldn't help it with these prices and you can but a big ole bow on her head and everyone will know she's a girl.  Besides, Uncle Christian (Carrie's husband) can't wait to take Little One out on the land to get all muddy. Whether a little girl or a little boy, Little One needs some outdoor gear.  Which leads us to the pics below...overalls and boots for every age.

 3-6 month overalls and soft boots

 6-9 month overalls and soft boots

 did I mention they were Justin boots??

18-24 month overalls and boots with hard bottoms

The boots were all right around $2.50-$3.50 a pair and the overalls were $0.50 each!  I told Carrie that when we know the gender of Little One, I was putting in a call to her and she was to go forth to the consignment store and shop.
