Visit from Grandma Q. and More Consignment Sale Deals

This week Grandma Q. came to visit and to meet Ryan. Ethan and Ryan had a lot of fun with grandma, and I really appreciated all of her help with the boys and around the house. Thank you so much Gail!! We were able to get out of the house a bit more (since Ryan is no longer "quarantined" due to the risk of contracting RSV) which was really nice. We went to our local library's toddler story hour, did some shopping, and took Ryan on his first outing to a restaurant (Penn Station). I LOVE that place! He did really well, just looking around quietly for awhile taking in the new sights and then drifted off to sleep. He slept through most of our yummy meal, but it won't be long before he'll be scarfing down Penn Station along with us!

I woke up early this morning to check out a MOPS consignment sale with my friend Lori. There wasn't a whole lot of merchandise, but I was able to find quite a few great deals (particularly on denim). Since I'm so behind on my blogging, I don't actually recall what my total spent was *gasp*, but I was excited about the bargains. One of my favorite finds was a brand new with tags pair of Children's Place jeans in Ethan's size which is just what he needed! Oh, and if you're wondering what on earth is in the big ziploc baggie, it's a whole bunch of small toy duckies. Lori bought a bag of them for her girls, and I bought the other bag for my boys. We thought they would be great pool/splash park toys that wouldn't be a big deal if they got lost since they were so inexpensive (and plentiful!)
