Snow Days and Bargain Shopping

We woke up Wednesday morning to snow! Not a lot of snow (and thank goodness no ice) but enough to go outside and play in. The kids ran around the front yard and we made mini snowballs. After about 15 maybe 20 minutes, Kinsley said, "Mom can we please go inside and drink hot chocolate by the fireplace?"
We definitely have a Southern girly girl on our hands.

Anyone that knows me knows that I love to bargain shop. I don't know if it's the economy or post Christmas markdowns, but there are some great deals out there right now. We have a birthday party next week for a friend's little boy that is turning four. I found this GI Joe war thingy for $13. Original price $55! I also got the Sleeping Beauty singing Barbie (with the 3 fairies) for Kinsley's birthday. She's been eyeing that thing every time we go to Target. Original price $19.99, I got it for $6!


I got Kinsley's birthday invitations at a boutique/gift shop for $5!
And my Windmill Kids order should be arriving any day now. They had amazing deals on their smocked outfits. I got Kinsley a dress, Colby 2 John Johns and swimming trunks for less than $50! Man, I love to shop.

How jealous am I that ya'll have snow! We had flurries one day, but they didn't stick!

Okay, so I ordered some stuff from Windmill Kids...I got a crazy email about the sale being so big that they might not be able to fill my order! We'll see!!! I try to be a bargain shopper, but it's exhausting. You need to give me some of your tips!
