chocolate and vanilla and 35% off

Yesterday I strolled into Gap during my Mommy Moment (you know, when the hubby sees the crazy in your eyes and lets you go out into the world on your own for a bit) and there were signs posted everywhere that the ENTIRE store was 30 percent off. What did I do? Headed straight for the sale racks of course! I got Violet about 6 new outfits, Jack a righteous pair of shorts I've been eying for months, Michael new swim trunks and myself a new pair of bronze leather flip flops for the charming price of 68 bucks. What a steal dude! I also found out upon check out two VITAL bits of information. 1) By using my Gap card yesterday I ended up getting an extra five percent off. Nice little boost there. 2) If you have a Gap card, every Tuesday from now through August Banana Republic will give you a 20 dollar rewards card upon purchase. You could walk in to BR buy the cheapest thing in there, ie. a pair of socks, and they will instantly hand you a 20 dollar G.C. redeemable at any of the Gap chain stores. SO worth it dude!






Yesterday I made both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes each with their respective frosting flavors. I didn't take pictures of the actual cupcakes but I did take pictures of some frosting licking fun. I am a frosting girl. Michael is a cake boy. Together, we are perfect. :)







These "everybody squeeze in tight" pictures aren't getting any better. But they aren't any less cute either. I love my boogers. Even at the butt crack of dawn! :)

LOVE the new clothes, Violet's outfit is too cute!

PS I wanted some "Mommy time" to go shopping yesterday and I was told to bring little Lucy with me (whines and all), so you are pretty lucky and I am a little jealous!

Can I just say, I LOVE jacks shorts?! and Violets dress is too pretty, makes me want a girl...almost. (I am pretty fond of little boyz, but maybe its because I only have a boy)

You look great by the way, your skin in the last two pictures looks GREAT!

I bought those exact same flip flops! They were an awesome deal, so I bought another color too. :)
