Black Friday

Finally, Black Friday came and went. Boy was that one busy day for us. I got up at 3:30 and met my sisters and mom at Kohls. Thankgoodness they got there at 3:15 because when I got there 15 minutes later the line was becoming really long. Every year we always go to Kohls because they always have their toys at least 50% off and then use a 15% off coupon. It is a dang good deal. I bought Drew a toy that his Grandma is giving him for his birthday. I actually went on Wednesday night and hid it because they only had 2 of them. I also got some jeans for Ryan for family pictures. They were only $12. Then it was off to Walmart. They were opened but you can't grab the stuff till 5:00. So my mom and Wendi helped Scott with a few of his items and I stood guard on something my mom wanted while my other 2 sisters stood guard in the toy department. Come to find out they had Gobble and Go Hippo for $13 and we had no idea. It's a good thing Kimberly spotted that deal. I will probably save it for our next child.

So by now it is 5:15 and I decide to be a nice wife and go wait in Office Max's line by myself so Ryan and Drew could sleep in a little longer. Yes, Drew joined all the madness. I was the 5th person in line, which relieved Ryan because he really wanted this computer monitor they had for a dang good price. My sweet Mom and sisters were at QT getting hot chocolate and brought me one. It was just what I needed at that exact moment. I was starting to get a little cold. I have an awesome family! Then, Ryan comes and relieves me at 5:45 so I could head over to Staples. My Dad and Scott were already in line. They opened at 6 and Office Max opened at 7 AM. I will never go to Staples again in all my life, seriously. They were so unorganized, had no idea where their advertised items were located, my camera wasn't even out on the floor, it was in the back room, and they rang up some items wrong. Yes, it took me 45 minutes to get out of there and had to come back later that night. I didn't realize they rang me up wrong until I got home. Even my Dad got over charged on one of his items. That is bad. I feel bad for those that don't check their receipts. So then at 6:45 I head back over to Office Max just in time to take Drew so Ryan could go get his monitor. Finally we head back home. But the craziness was still not over. After Drew's morning nap we head to Mill's mall and find out The Children's Place is having 20% off everything till noon and I had an additional 15% off coupon. Cha-ching! We finally found some wide width shoes for Drew at Payless. He is still adjusting to his shoes. He likes to walk barefoot the best. So that was our crazy Black Friday. Drew was such a trooper, even with his ear infection and all. Now I really need to start substituting more to pay back our Savings for everything we spent!
