Cory & I celebrated his birthday by going out with a group of our friends to our town’s local Oktoberfest festivities. The boys were also having a blast at home having grandpa & grandma (my parents) over to play. We had a fun night out.
Last week/weekend was also full of semi-annual children’s consignment sales. I volunteered for a local sale on Thursday morning so I could get into the sale to shop before it was open to the public. Volunteering was a pretty fun and the benefit of shopping early was well worth it – definitely something I plan on doing each spring & fall before their sale. The boys are fairly set for 18 month clothes (which they are just starting to grow into). I found a pair of matching sweaters (lucky find!) for the winter and was also able to score a couple cheap, in-great-condition toys, including these items (all for under $75):
On Saturday, I travelled, with my sister, 1 ½ hours to the nearest “moms of multiples” consignment sale I’ve found. Cory was bow hunting for the day & the boys spent the day playing with grandma (Cory’s mom) and big, cousin “H”. I scored quite a few matching/coordinating shirts for this winter & next spring along with a few pairs of pants & shoes. I also bought this toy (the only problem I found with it is that the yellow knob doesn’t seem to light up all the time):
Sunday, we finished off the weekend by going out to lunch as a family to Applebee’s to celebrate Cory’s birthday. The boys behaved very well and “hammed it up” quite a bit to a table of “grandma’s” that was next to us, who couldn’t get enough of them! They made sure to wave bye-bye to our waiter too.
