Shopping Spree


This is the kids on the 4th.

Larry was on leave a few days last week and 4 days this week but he had to work today. I took Laura and Marissa with me to Lee’s Summit and Independence. I had some shopping to do for some odds and ins we needed to finish up with our home décor/staging our house. We left home just before 9am and we got back home around 5:30pm. What a long day! On the way home we were counting the number of stops we made including getting fuel, lunch, paying my speeding ticket plus the shopping…we made 14 stops before pulling into our driveway!!!!! I had to do some returns to Kohl’s and an exchange. Of course they did not have what I needed for the exchange which was for Laura! So, that leads to looking at clothes…and buying clothes! Of course I have trained them well…Check The CLEARENCE Rack First! We got Laura a cute pair of shorts and shirt. Marissa got some adorable plaid shorts but we had to go elsewhere for a matching top but we got one. So they have new outfits to wear to the “Parr Fun Day”. I am VERY even with the spending so of course Cat and Sean will be going to get new stuff within the next couple days.
We found great deals at Hobby Lobby which is one of my favorite places. We went to 2 Wal-Marts!? You should have seen us at the first one…I had a buggy full of stuff including an artificial tree. (The kids laugh at me because I call it a buggy and not a shopping cart…Whatever!) Most of the items were large and you would have just had to be there to see how funny we looked. We had a hard time pushing the buggy and seeing around the tree! Too funny! Of course I had no intention of cooking dinner so our last and final stop, stop #14, was to pick up pizza. After dinner Larry and I headed out to Lowe’s. UGH! I’m tired of shopping and spending!! However, we had 2 coupons for $10 off so we rang up separate and used them both. I LOVE to save money!
Tuesday will be filled with running around getting ready for the Fun Day on Wed. (We moved it from Tues. to Wed.) Of course we have our normal to-do list filled with house stuff. Like I said in the last blog or two, we are on a down hill slide and things are slowly coming together. We have one more major project to finish which is getting our shower door ordered and installed. Long story about that, I won’t go there, I’ll get mad! We got our hardware ordered for the kitchen cabinets. All the stuff left to do are little things but they have to get done.
I feel terrible because I’ve not had time to stay in touch with family and friend but I know everyone understands. I also know that you all will be glad it’s completed so I will stop bloggin’ about our house junk. Just think, next you can look forward to me griping about trying to sell it! Hahahaha!
I love you all!
