My day started out great. Woke up fairly early - which I need to do more often - on a crisp, beautiful Saturday. Our plan was to go to Old Navy for their insane sale they have going on right now. Instead we got distracted on the way and stopped by about 8 garage sales. This was one of our favorite finds of the day. Fico gets on these little kicks sometimes and has been talking about finding plants to deck out our loft. So as we were driving around Five Points looking for some sales, we saw a little girl sitting out by the street at what looked like a lemonade stand [was actually a mini "bake sale" :P]. I thought that was all it was but Fico insisted it was another sale so we turned around and sure enough he was actually right. Lol. It was tucked away beside the house and the lady was selling all sorts of plants that she had harvested over time. Fico was in heaven. We ended up with all but the yellow guy in the picture above. The yellow one - whom we named Bowser - we actually bought a few days ago at Home Depot. Anyway, my husband now has five more little babies. He was so cute planting them in this little pot yesterday.
Earlier that morning I had stopped by Costco to buy some Kirkland baby wipes which are THE best in my opinion. While I was there I had to pick up some fall foliage. I'm a sucker for the flower display at any grocery store. They get me almost every time. Haha. These were just so pretty. Having flowers in my home genuinely makes my day 100% better. I'm serious.
So after attempting to get Casen to take a nap, which he did not do, we went to Hooters to watch the Auburn vs. LSU game - since we don't have cable just Netflix. Casen was surprisingly good for the first half of the game but started getting antsy closer to half time. So we went home and watched the rest of the [depressing] game on the computer while trying to get Casen to nap again. And again he didn't... Not sure what that was all about. After the game we went to some friends Halloween party. Casen was a skeleton. Fico was "a shot in the dark". He wore all black and wore a shot glass around his neck. I was Rosie the Riveter since I had not planned on dressing up at all and that seemed to be the only thing I could throw together. We took 0 pictures. Shame on me. Casen had a blast though playing with the other kids there. It's rare that we have him playing with kids other than when he is at Mother's Day Out. Which I feel bad about. We've just yet to meet anyone in the area that have kids his age. Sad, I know. All in all it was a great Autumn Saturday. I love this time of the year.
Some of the treasures we got yesterday at the garage sales:
This little guy was $1.50. The background is actually copper. I love him.
Thermos brand thermos and snack bag -
that I will most definitely be using as a purse. $2
Wooden beaded clutch. $2. Handmade in Korea.
The little girl having the little bake sale gave this to Casen for free. How sweet.
Now he can be useless like Mommy and Daddy whenever we are on our computers.
Fico pointed this little guy out on our way to lunch! How awesome!?
