Shelly's Triumphant Sunday

After Saturday morning was such a bust (i.e. picture incident) I have bounced back and achieved shopping glory today!

(And yes, Maeve and I skipped church today-

-we were a little traumatized by nursery last week)

She took a nice long nap and then we headed out to pick up an item I had my eye on for Amelie for Christmas.

I headed into one of the local teacher stores and asked for the whereabouts for the item (currently sold out all over the place online) and was told that it was out of stock and that hopefully they would get it back in stock for Christmas.

I was a little bummed but decided to head to the Baby store (the next store over) and as I was passing the store front window I saw this:

Melissa and Doug's Slice and Bake Cookie Set!

I convinced the store manager to sell me the one on display (they were hesitant although--they had none left in the store to sell so...?) and smiled gleefully as they crawled into the front window to fetch it.

Yay!

The other triumph of the day involves my Christmas card! I rec. an email from Snapfish.com (my favorite picture place) with a coupon code for 20 Photo Christmas cards for 20 cents!!! (Usually $15!) So I dressed the girls up in matching dresses and made up a card today (and can now return the box of cards I had already bought at Target).

I tried to save a picture of the card but Snapfish has thwarted my efforts--you'll just have to take my word that they're cute. =) And since Snapfish thwarted me I'll go ahead and thwart them by telling you that the coupon code for 20 4 x 8 inch photo cards for 20 cents is CARD08.

Happy Sunday!
