We had a great birthday yesterday. Matt celebrated at school, opened his presents when daddy got home, and then celebrated again with cupcakes at our small group meeting last night. He got to stay up late and even Skyped with his Uncle Earnie and Aunt Chrissy.
I scored a few cheap birthday gifts for Matt . The first one, a GI Joe set, was found at Target after Christmas. It is a huge tank set that includes one large motorized tank, a smaller tank, five or six action figures, some kind of underwater boat thing, and some gun accessories. I didn't think much about it except the original price was $54 and it was on clearance for $14. I just about peed my pants and ran to grab Richard. He has been wanting to get Matt some kind of GI Joe toy for awhile. I have never seen my husband get that excited about a sale item.
The next thing I found was an Arthur board game that I picked up yesterday at a resale shop. There was not a price on the box and I was able to get it for $3.99. I felt like this was a good deal because all the pieces were there, it was in great condition, and all the other games were around $9 or $10. He loves the game and, I must say, it is fun to play.
Finally, I found a Wall-E comforter for $13 and a Wall-E hooded bath towel for $3 at Wal-Mart. I do not shop at our local Wal-Mart because it is a nightmare but when I was in Canton last weekend we had to make a run and I lucked out.

I am so proud of you. It was fun watching your excitement over the bargins you found. You have turned into a dedicated bargin hunter. Who would have believed it? Very good!
