Black Friday & Babysitting

We were able to convince my sister to let Alex out of the house for the night on Friday and we took him out for Mexican food. Yum! He loves the duck that I got for him. :)
He loves to look at Gracie. She's always doing something funny! He was such a good boy at dinner and only let out one yell. I still don't know what that was all about. I was a nervous wreck watching him and felt quite relieved to return him to his mother's care when the clock struck 9 p.m. (his curfew!).

We got up at 2:30 a.m. on Friday to go shopping. We being me, Kathi and Susie as Jackson, Tommy and Grace decided to actually sleep for more 3 hours! HA! We went to Kohl's first and waited in the cold. Susie spotted exactly what I had come for just as we were giving up the hope of finding it. She got a gold star for the day for that find. We then headed to Target and stood in the cold for over an hour. My toes almost fell off. I will remember next year to wear my Uggs! We got a lot of great deals and had a lot of fun. We were finished there by 5:30 and headed to Starbucks for a coffee and bagels. We hit the mall and did some serious damage there, too. It was really fun! Jackson and I went back out later in the day after I took a much needed nap. I love black Friday! There is just not another shopping day like it, people. If you're an online shopper, I'm sorry but you're missing some of the thrill of the chase! :) Friday was a really fun day!

I was soooo bummed to miss out this year. I just love Black Friday. But I didn't think the boys would love it, nor would the people whose way I got in with my huge double stroller. lol
