Sunday Funday: Consignment Shopping

 
We are on spring break this week. It is a great time to link up with Molly and Deirdre We started our break with the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.



Our Sunday Funday was shaped around the Liverpool game. I wanted to go to a big children’s consignment sale, so I left just before 8am to ensure that my children were not left unattended once the game started. (I joke…sort of!)

It was a great day! Not only did Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-0, but I found some amazing deals at the Just Between Friends sale. The last day of the sale, most items are 50% off. I have gotten to the point where I only buy clothes for my kids at these sales. I also only allow myself to shop once they reduce the prices.



The pictures don’t do it justice. My cousin is getting married this week, so I bought my daughter four gorgeous dresses for $3 to $4 each. She is still deciding which one twirls the best. My son is going to wear the Ralph Lauren shirt in the picture. It was $2.50. The athletic shorts were $2 each. They are all branded. The blue outfit and matching hat are from Gymboree. I got all three pieces for just $3.75.

According to my receipt, I paid an average of $2.44 an item. My daughter was having a blast trying everything on. She was thrilled with our little impromptu fashion show.

So far spring break is off to a great start!

The linky will be up for another week. I am also giving my Sully Shamrock font to anyone who links up a St. Patrick's Day Post.

Five for Friday: The Hospital Bedside Edition

What a week!

~~~~~~~~

The Good:

I’m on spring break so there isn’t much school related here. The week started great. My dad was in town and we went to the beach, spent time at my grandparents house, and took my daughter to see Disney Princesses on Ice.

The Bad:

Soon after posting this picture

on Facebook, we were at the pediatrician with my son. He had a high fever, but it was just a virus. Yesterday we went back to the doctor and were told that he was showing some signs of walking pneumonia. We were worried about his breathing last night and made an appointment with the doctor first thing this morning.



The doctor sent us to the ER and they have admitted him with pneumonia. He is already looking better than before, but his stats still are not great. I spent last night hoping to avoid the hospital and now I am hoping we are home before Easter.

The little one was just given oxygen and is finally sleeping despite the iv, tubes, and wires. The Irishman brought my laptop and some PJs for me earlier this evening. He is at home with our daughter. We just said good night via Facetime, but I don’t think anyone is happy with the situation.
This is NOT how I wanted to spend my spring break!

The Sale:

I’d planned on holding a sale in my store but hadn’t gotten around to entering it yet. I tried to enter the Spring Cleaning Linky, but it has closed. So, I’ll announce it here.

There are a lot of sales going on this weekend, but at least my title is unique!

The “Who me?”

I got a blog related e-mail this week that included my name on a list with some of my favorite bloggers. It made my day! I’m not there yet, but to have my name on the same short list made my day!
