We headed up late Thursday night after I had worship team practice, and headed out early Friday morning. To be honest, the sales this year were kind of a bust. Not sure exactly why, but there just wasn't the amount of quality stuff we usually find. We still had a blast though, and even got to sneak out to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and dessert afterward. I stayed up way too late chatting with Jer and Heather (we stayed at their house) and we headed back out Saturday morning. Again, I didn't find a ton of things, but Kristen scored quite a few fun finds early that day. We didn't get home until around 6pm that night, and though we were tired, we're always so sad when the weekend is over. God has given me a gem of a friend in Kristen and I'm so grateful for our fun times together.
The boys were delighted with the few fun finds I got for them. Jonah had requested a ladder fire truck and I found the perfect one for him. The ladder extends and the four buttons play actual dispatch recordings complete with engine sounds, sirens, etc. He was SO happy. He kept saying "thank you mommy, thank you mommy, thank you get me this fire truck." And he continued to say that over and over and over for the next week. So cute.
I got Benjamin a great little race car repair Lego set (for only $2) It came with lots of figures, car parts, wheels, etc and he's had fun making different cars. He was so sweet and grateful for his fun surprise. Between that and the Ninjago undies I found him, he thought I was the best!
The boys also loved the new little backpack I got for them to use at church. Their old one had a big rip in it so I was so excited to find this adorable car one for $3. Jonah loved modeling it on the way to church the next day!
Sad that Happy Valley has come and gone, but here's to looking forward to next year!!!
