New Ball Pit!

The kids & I ventured out to Super Target today. We have been couped up in the house all week. Justin stayed home from work today sick with strep throat. The kids & I were in serious need of an outing out of the house & we wanted to give Justin some peace & quiet to rest. Target has a lot of their toys 50-75% off. We found a new ball pit for the kids for $7! We gave Grace a ball pit for her 1st birthday but the kids put a hole in the original ball pit months ago. I packed up the balls & stuck them in Grace's closet. We were very excited to find a new ball pit & a ball pit so cheap!

Wagner Fun!

It is the end of our trip to Florence. We were able to see so many family members!

Smurfs!

We took the kids to Build A Bear at the Galleria Mall today. We had two $10 gift cards that Mimi had given us. We were excited to see Build A Bear had a Smurf promotion going on. Both the kids, of course, wanted to make their own Smurf!
