Making this weekend special

I not only got out of work early on Friday, but had the whole weekend off. There were a few family events (free of course) that I couldn't pass up. 

The Lego Store at the North Star mall, for instance, had a pre-Black Friday VIP event. It was one VIP card holder and a guest going in 9-10 AM (before opening) to get free bags of goodies and special extras. While my husband was there with the middle son, I took the oldest and little lady to stand and wait by the Disney store. We had run into a friend who let me in on the knowledge that the first child at the door would get to "open" the store.

They also got a free key ornament.

My oldest son didn't want to do it so I took my lady out of the stroller.

She was so excited. I found it amusing that all 3 of us were dressed in Disney style. I had worn a Maleficent ensemble.

Afterwards, we took the kids to the Target Frozen event. Each of the kids got a goodie bag regardless of what they were wearing.

My little "Elsa" was posing and smiling. 

The Cartwheel toy of the day is the Lettlest Pet Shop Style set. 

We also stopped by our friends at San Antonio Plastic Bricks. They have recently moved to a larger retail store front. Definitely going to be amazing once it's completely set up. 

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! Remember those deep breaths as you try to get through the Thanksgiving week next week!!!

A month in review...

Have you looked back through your pictures in your phone recently? Do you relive those memories? All those good times caught in a still frame. I was transferring photos to my laptop to be saved. So much happening in the past month. Good and bad. 

Sharing a laugh with my princess on October 5th. Her personality is addicting. So outgoing and smartalic at times. There's no doubt, she's my daughter. 

On October 7th, I took my oldest to the prescreening for Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. We don't get a lot of one on one time, so I try to make it count. 

October 8th we went shopping and decided to play dress up in Targets halloween section. Don't scoff. You know you wish you were doing that too. 

October 11th, we went to the Star Wars Lego build at Toys R Us. Not a bad mini Ghost Ship, huh? 

The 25th was my oldest sons 6th birthday. We went to Bootacular and had a small party with my in laws. 

He's growing faster with every passing year. 

On the 29th, I worked my last shift with this goofball. He wasn't at our store long, but "Clydesdale" was definitely one of my favorite coworkers. 

On October 30th, I went to a job interview with the Lego Store. I designed and built a "set" that described me somehow. 

Creative yet detailed. 

Halloween involved free donuts, trick or treating at the Lego Store as well as in my in laws neighborhood. 

So why am sharing all this? Because I think everyone needs a dip in the fun memories from time to time. Relive the past month. Would you change anything? Did you learn or grow? 

Remember that the past was once the present, shaping the future. 

AND HAVE FUN WHILE YOU LIVE IT! 

Feast brings cute, wordless fun. Enjoy!

Disney has a penchant for making funny "Short" films. Their newest one is called Feast. Watch how time passes with a puppy finding an owner... dealing with the "woman"... and then reuniting the two when things go sour.


Don't forget some of these other titles, coming soon.

Into the Woods brings several fairy tales to life but connects them together.


Tomorrowland. Not really sure how to describe this one just yet, but it has George Clooney, so I'm sold!
