My love affair with consignment sales.

I just can't stay away lol. My mom and I went to Kendal's Kloset consignment sale yesterday. It is literally a block from her house, and I saw that they were advertising 50% off that day, so we couldn't resist. I didn't know if we would find much with it being the 50% off day, but we did! I went intending to find Brentley some summer clothes because he doesn't have as many as I would like him to, but, of course, I found some extras as well.

Like this toy bin.

This photo book set. It has books for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year.

This Dora doll (it matches the Diego that Grace already has).

This dress for Grace.

And these shoes for Grace.

And I did find quite a few things for Brentley too. The jacket is a 24 months. He had one almost just like it when he was younger and I loved it. It was perfect for the warmer winters we have, so now he'll have one for this winter :) And the I'm #1 onesie is for his birthday! Then I found him three rompers that he can wear now.

I got all of this for $23!! I love consignment sales!

Check out this amazing little girl... Avery can.

This blog is definitely worth checking out.... Avery Can .

This adorable little baby has a genetic disease that has no cure :( Her time on this earth will be cut short, but her amazing parents have created a bucket list for her. They want her to experience as many things as she can during her time on this earth. They more recognition she gets, the more things she will be able to achieve.

The blog is written by her parents, but it is written as if it was from the viewpoint of Avery. Very cute and whitty. Help this precious little baby achieve all she can!

Plans for the summer!

I get out of school May 7th, which seems like a long way away, but I only have tomorrow, Mon., Tues., and Wed. of next week, and then Mon. of the week after next left, so only five total days left! I've already got lots of fun things planned for my free summer.
For one, Grace and I are having our girls' day out on May 3rd. I know that I technically won't be out of school yet, but I'll only have one day left. I really cannot wait to spend some one on one time with my little girl!

We are also looking to put Grace in gymnastics. I have to call and find out more about it, but I would really like to, and I think she would be very good at it.

I will still be working my one day a week job over the summer, and I am planning on using this time to catch up Grace's baby book and to do Brentley's first year book. I have all the info to put in them, I just haven't put it all together.

I also want to do some fun things like planting a flower with Grace. I'm going to get her a pot and have her help me plant, then we'll take care of it together.
And our bubble day that I posted about on her before. I'm excited about that one.
I also bought some water balloons, so that we can have a water balloon fight!
And I would like to do a splatter paint activity as well.

As for big activities. We will be going to 1890's Day at the end of May for the parade and festival.
We are planning on taking a trip to the zoo, a trip to Coolidge park, and a trip to the Discovery museum at different times throughout the summer.

We are wanting to have a cookout and go back to our old neighborhood to watch the Lake Winnie fireworks on the 4th of July. You can see the fireworks perfectly from there!

And then, at the end of August will be Brentley's 1st birthday. I cannot believe he is almost 1!! He will be 8 months  tomorrow. My baby boy is growing up entirely too fast! I'm going to do a post about my plans for his party soon. I've got it pretty much planned out..

Ohh, and not this weekend, but next, I am doing a yard sale with my Nana. Hopefully I'll be able to sale a good bit of their old stuff, and put that money towards some summer fun :)
