SICKIES
Peanut's virus only last 24 hrs. His fever broke at 7pm on Thursday, after he had spent a total of 8 hrs that day napping... obviously the sleeping helped him.
DATE NIGHT
Because Peanut was feeling better, Hubbie and I were still able to go on our planned date night. Nana and Pops kept the boys overnight on Friday night. Hubbie and I went to P.F. Changs and got our free lettuce wraps! Yum-O! We also munched on some yummy mongolian beef, egg rolls and 2 of their mini desserts! It was a wonderful dinner and just being able to sit, be served and have no clean up was so nice! The rest of the evening we just kind of piddled around. I had to work on some MOPS registrations, so by midnight Hubbie went to bed and I worked on those.
On Saturday morning, Hubbie had a race that he had registered to run, so no sleeping in for us. Since I knew that he was going to be up early and that we had to get the boys from Nana's semi-early, I decided to try to hit a few yard sales.

Saturday Morning Finds
I was able to get out around 7am and hit quite a few yard sales before anyone else. I wasn't too impressed with people's prices. No one was a great "yard sale find". I did find lots of things that were worth their sticker price. I think I spent a total of $75...which is probably the MOST I've ever spent on a Saturday morning going yard sale shopping, but I only got fantastic quality things. I even got two Bailey Brothers outfits for $15. Lots of clothes for Baby Bean... a few things for Peanut. 
I'm starting to realize that by the time boys get to 4T and 5T, people don't yard sale their clothes...... which is a bummer. I've about come to terms with the fact that I'm gonna have to be a smart shopper at stores for Bubbie's outfits- Target clearance racks, etc.- and then for the younger two I can still get good things at Goodwill, consignment stores and yard sales.
I got a few things for the kitchen- pans, measuring cups-very excited about those finds, a cute Pier One Kids basket for $5, a Halloween sign for $1 and a chair for $8.
Oh and look at the cute mobile I found for my lovely new neighbor Ashley.
It was only $5! I think this mobile probably sells for $15-20! Ok, scratch that...went and looked it up online...Surely not, but it is listed on Amazon for $118?! No way?! So, lots of goodies scored.... I didn't haggle much with people, since I was one of their first shoppers. It was so nice getting out that early and being done with shopping in about a hr. I probably could have stayed out for another hour or two. There were SO many yard sales this AM. I mean, SO MANY! Unfortunately, Hubbie was called last night to come in and work on a project, so I went and got the kids and he's off to work..... All-in-all, a good weekend so far.

Rest of the weekend will involve lots of laundry, house cleaning for small groups, ironing and hopefully a trip to the grocery store. Besides that....just a normal weekend! I really dread weekends like this. I try to get most of the cleaning/laundry done BEFORE Saturday. The boys have been getting into everything lately and have been quite a handful!

Steph
What a great deal! $118?!?! STEAL!
Love the new look!
Awesome deals!!!
I know what you mean about finding clothes 4T/5T. It's HARD!!
We lucked out and found Gap kids shorts-size 5 w/ adjustable waist (score!) at a garage sale for 50 CENTS!!! I bought them right away. They seriously look brand new.
It's rare for me to find clothes in Aidan's size at garage sales any more.
But Target clearance-I did just get hm a band new polo shirt for $1.48.
Hey, if you shop at sears at the end of the season they often have the clothes marked 80-90% off which is cheaper than my Goodwill and it is new clothes. I also do Children's place clearance (when it is really marked down) and use a coupon and get good deals that way. I already have all my fall/winter clothes purchased and hanging in the closet. Easter outfits for next year too. :)
That mobile is an awesome find!
Awesome! I can't believe I didn't make it out to yardsales this weekend. I just thought I'd send you a link to a site that I came across last night. I thought it might be inspiration for our photo shoot. www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com
before you get really scared, that was really just to make anything that I get of ya'll look better :). See you tonight!
