Day of shopping with Mary

Mary and I were on a mission... a shopping mission that was.  I attended my first Mom-to-Mom sale and got 2 big items that were on my list - a swing (which I paid less than half of what it sold for at Babies R Us) and a jumpy exerciser (which was also quite cheap). 

We probably would have been much more successful in the clothes department had we known the sex of the baby, but since we don't that will have to be the next sale's mission.  Then it was off for lunch at Benigan's - yummy - to build up our energy for IKEA... on a Saturday, which after going, we vowed never to do again.  But we fought through the crowd and got some great things at an even better price... love that. 

Then I drug Mary to Hobby Lobby for some accessories to the baby's room and also to Bath and Body Works to get a few things for my nurse's gifts (that I plan to take to the hospital with us).

And then finally back to my house... 8:30 am to 4:00 pm is a long time to be out shopping.  But loved every minute of it!
