Today I bought Leapfrog games (Diego, Nemo, Ratatouile (sp), and Pet Pals) as well as an AC adapter.
And since I was placing an order anyway...
Melissa and Doug scissors. They look sturdier than the dollar tree ones and there is no metal so they should only cut paper. I hope. We need to really work with Koda on his fine motor stuff. These are for his stocking and I know he will adore them. And marked down to $3. (I'm justifying, see?)
Crayola Coloring Truck Town. I'm not actually going to give the at Christmas. It was marked down to $5 today and looks like a great "we are stuck inside due to snow/rain" kind of project. It is a 3-D coloring board with extra trucks and things to drive through the town.
Pens for Travis. He likes a certain kind, and when I place an Amazon order I usually throw these in since I wouldn't buy them if I had to pay shipping.
OMG-I have been done with the girls (though we are still searching for the right big gift for Kate to match Anna's bike-we can't agree!!! Bill wants some remote nascar racetrack-gee...need a son, much?? lmao!), but I am SO SO SO SO SO tempted by so many things!!!!!
I have bought a couple of blu rays for them because I got a blu ray player for us at a good price.
We went to the Disney store the other day and omg-I could have died. I could buy them about 10 more things each there!!!
I am trying hard to resist...and thankfully, we already had the leapster games that were cheap on amazon today, lol!!
LMAO at this thread! i have totally bought more stuff since being done. cara got a crewcuts shirt, bc it was on sale and JUST the right price to send me into the "25% off plus free shipping" category (i was ordering stuff for mike on there). cara also got a lowercase letter puzzle and a numbers puzzle (melissa and doug). she also got a play-cookie set. (i was feeling insecure about cara's pile i guess).
rachel hasnt gotten anything extra. she's done.
oh wait. they both got an alice in wonderland christmas ornament since being done.
I finished with Joe and Hannah yesterday morning (stockings included.)
Then I promptly came home and bought 3 Tag books (Olivia, Little Mermaid, and Tinkerbell, I think.). lol.
It took me 4 hours to wrap everything last night. And I still have all our extended family to wrap still. That may have had something to do with the fact that I was shizfaced, since Joe was being our bartender while all my gfs where wrapping their gifts, and we'd just gotten in from a wine tasting.

Oh, I can't wait for a picture of all your wrapped presents! I still super love the picture of your Easter baskets, LOL. Makes me giddy. ;)
I did really good with the boys this year. Of course my car just died and we have to dump a shitload of money into it so that helps me stick with what I have, LOL.
I did go to JCP last night with my 10 dollars off 10 and my mom was there and ended up buying for the boys more than that and using her 10 off 50 so I still have that.
But we bought two nice outfits with some sweater vests so it's not really christmas presents. Then they have these fleece pj's that were christmas ones and they were so cute and only 7.99. Since Owen has (technically) outgrown his we got these and these will be their christmas eve pj's. We had toy story ones but I am more excited now because I wanted christmas ones but didn't want to spend a fortune.
Anyway, I've been tempted with the amazon deals and almost bought two zhu zhu pets just because they were in stock on shopko.com but I just closed out the window and walked away. No need to introduce them to the craze and spend money I don't have if they're not even aware, kwim?

Lmao!!! I wish I'd taken a picture of my tree last night.
We had a ladies night, and my gfs brought their presents over to wrap. I've done their deal shopping this year, so it was CRAZY around the tree, lmao.
I just was suckered into a zhu zhu hampster and ball at shopko. K hasnt even asked for it. It would have been cheaper for me to get her pop the pig game like shes been asking for LOL, but I do not want 12 or so hamburgers getting lost around the house.
I haven't done stockings yet. I usually suck at this. She has 2 gameboy games for it that I got when I turned in some other games so I didn't spend any money on them. Ray thinks I should get her a barbie for it. This would be her first barbie and not sure if I want to start that craze yet. If I get by the bookstore that sells groovy girls I will get one of those instead. They are hard to find here.
I was COMPLETELY done yesterday--with my kids, that is. Shopping I mean. ;D
But now we have come into some unexpected cash--woohoo!!--and I just saw an Eyeclops projector that Henry would LOVE.
It's $50 on amazon, and I need to get Glen's cousin (I drew her name in our swap) a DS game so I'm thinking I'll do that now.
Henry would be over-the-moon excited because when he told me he wanted Santa to bring him a projector, I told him they cost thousands of dollars (like the one at church) and Santa couldn't afford to get all the kids on his list really expensive stuff like that.
I don't even know what I have for Elizabeth at this point, although I think I am done..... except.....
She has now added to her wish list a dress. So, I guess I will be getting one of those this week.
I think I still need stocking stuffers fro her too. I will know better after tonight I hope. Dh and I are having a date night in while E is at a program having fun. Our plan is to do things around here and eat Jupiter's pizza (so very yummy!).
