Frugal Friday

-
Kent took Caris for the day so Baby Ziza and I got our Thrift on! We bought the following.. 

1. The Tale of Three Trees 
Probably won't get through it without crying

2. Green Eggs and Ham 
A childhood CLASSIC. Quoted to me every time I refused to try a new food. 

3. Oh, David! 
A cousin to the books "No, David!" that I discovered while teaching. Caris learned about the books at the Y childcare and she walked around the house dramatically saying "NO DAVID!" 

4. Curious George Opposites
WE LOVE GEORGE! And opposites are perfect for us right now.
5. American Eagle skinny jeans
I'm hoping these fit me- I broke the cardinal rule of thrifting- I didn't try them on. And I'm eating a piece of birthday cheesecake as I blog so...

I also paid $2 more than regular jeans (final price $7.99) I've learned that good jeans are hard to find so it's worth the extra money.

6. Lime Leopard outfit for C

7. Pumpkin pants for Liza
Have I mentioned that I'm a total sucker for all kiddie holiday clothes? Instead of decorating my mantle, I decorate my kids. Give me 5 more years and I'll be a Show Mom.  
8. See? Christmas dress for Caris

9. Cinderella shoes to celebrate Caris' first trip to Disney (today!!)
10. REI fleece 

11. Brown pants for Liza's Halloween costume. Any early guesses? 
12. Soft doll for Liza. 
It's the first soft doll we've had and all other babies dolls in the house get ripped out of her hands by Older Sis. Don't worry (and don't tell my mother in law), I'm going to run her through the wash! 

As I waited in line, the lady behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said "Are you buying the doll for the baby? Here!" And handed me a dollar bill. "I want to buy it for her" How nice was that? She restored my faith in Floridians for a little while. winkwink

    What a successful trip! Love the Christmas jumper, but not with the princess high heels. Brown pants part of a Chewbacca costume? Brown bear? Hershey bar? Sweet story about the lady paying for the doll!

Did today feel different to you? Special in any way? Today, February 17, marks T E N Y E A R S of blogging for me! Whaaaattttt. I started blogging to document my family (the first post was about my dad falling down the steps after chasing squirrels with a shot gun. Click here ) and in the last ten years I've had plenty of life to record (Graduations, marriages, jobs, a move to Africa, babies) Blessed. After maxing out the free storage on my first blog, I switched to Packin' Parkers  until I landed at my current blog. Will you do me a huge favor? After ten years of clicking away on various keyboards, bearing my heart and soul to you  (guilt tactics in full force) and sharing pictures of those near and dear to me... Will you tell me who you are? I'm dying to know who my readers are! I know a few of you, but I'm curious to know who my lurkers are. I am the number one blog lurker, no shame. Reveal yourself! 1. Email me at kpsuits at gmail dot com 2. Text m

I wear fancy shoes while reading books next to my sister  I recently asked to wear a princess dress for the first time  I try to put on my sisters' panties when they're not around  I eat cereal with a spoon like a big girl  I "help" mom sort laundry by taking one pile out of the basket and putting it in a different (wrong) basket, all while naming the person that the article of clothing belongs to "ehyaehya DADDY ehyaaah MOMMY....eeeeMINE...."
