Wednesday was one of my favorite days!!! It was just good. period - good day!
The weather was nice (a bit chilly, but the sun eventually warmed things up) and so the boys and I went to Vidalia to run some errands and have a picnic ("Eat outside" as they kept saying).
I needed to go to Bi-Lo and Walmart for a few things and at the last minute decided to run by Harveys - and boy am I glad I did. Because of Harvey's I got some great deals at Bi-Lo - you will have to check in later on tonight for those when I do a "Friday Finals" post to link up to Southern Savers. It was just plain great - so check back :)
After we went to Harvey's and Bi-Lo we stopped at a park (actually the same park that Mike and I used to eat at when he worked at Handy Andy) and we had a picnic. The boys were so cute eating while keeping one eye on that "big" slide! They would take ONE bite and say "can we play?" I would tell them they needed to eat their lunch and they would take one more bit and ask the same question! This went on and on until they ate all their lunch and could play :) That slide was just so enticing!
We then went to Wal-Mart to get a few things. I normally try to avoid Wal-Mart at all cost but I am so glad we went. They had all their Valentine's Day candy/cards for 75% or more off! After Christmas I stocked up on some Christmas projects for next year for super cheap, and was able to do the same thing for next year for V-Day! I found packs of V-day cards (With pencils in them) for .50 a pack, packs of red bags (plan to use them for their birthday) for .25 a pack and all sorts of candies, lollipops, etc... for next to nothing! All the candy/food has a shelf life until December of 2012!!! Jack Pot!
Now I won't have to buy anything for next year when they are older and will be participating in more V-Day things!
The boxes of lollipops, I opened up and put them in a baggie (it also came with stickers) and will be using those for our potty training days (which will be coming up next Thursday!)
Once the boys laid down for a nap, Mike came home with a WARM Pecan Pie! A lady in our church makes the BEST pecan pies and she graciously made us one! It made my afternoon even more amazing! :)
It was a good day!
I think they were tired of waiting to play!
