Another Christmas craft in progress (see the previous post about the ribbon aisle). This is a different craft than the one using the ribbon we bought. Can you tell what's happening here? I hope not since those that usually get handmade gifts from us will be getting one this year. So far, the boys have really worked hard on these and the finished product is really great. I'm very happy with how it turned out and will have to post some pictures AFTER Christmas!
DAY 332 - November 28, 2009
Doug worked his tail off on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. He worked his regular 2pm-10pm shift on Thanksgiving and then went in to work part time at Walmart from 4am-12pm the next day. I am so appreciative for him always giving up his time to take advantage of overtime to earn some extra money for our family. He's very selfless in that way. While we don't like having him gone we know he's doing it for us and we love him for that.
While he was at Walmart he spotted this PS3 on sale at a good price. When we showed up there for our shopping we of course checked in with him. He and I decided to purchase it and make soem extra cash on eBay. We did that last year with a Wii (the hot item that was very hard to come by) and made some cash then too.
**UPDATE**
We sold the PS3 and made about $70.00...not too shabby! It's already packaged up and on it's way to someone who could have purchased the same thing just about anyplace right now...we didn't get it at an unheard of price...just one that someone with a lot of money to burn would rather pay and shop from home instead of getting in their car and going to Walmart.
DAY 331 - November 27, 2009
Today is Black Friday...our annual girls shopping trip has been in full swing for SEVERAL hours by the time this picture was taken. We started at 5am at Target and made it to the mall around 11am. Here are the carolers standing outside Old Navy adding some Christmas tunes to the chaos of the mall.
