MessageOkay, I'm confused, is that a separate "room", or is a room divided with bookcases?? You look GREAT!!

Yeah, I'm sure Justice is just beside himself over the photography... smilie

MessageI love bargain shopping too. Love Marshalls and TJ Maxx.. where you can get name brands for less!
I just got some cute stuff on in the clearance isle at Target yesterday. I cant buy cheap shoes for Evan either.. he goes through a pair every month it seems..

MessageTrish - I don't know what else to change. My design will be different in December, so hopefully that'll fix it. It's weird that you have to scroll with a wider screen than I have. I'm stumped! smilie

Marci - that would be AWESOME! We LOVE hand-me-downs, for sure!!! smilie

Matt - I do the same thing at end of season sales. That's the best time to shop for clothes - but sometimes hard for kids not knowing what size they'll need in what season. smilie

lol Gina - yes, we all thought you were a snob. ha! I do like name brands if I can get a good deal!!! Oh, yeah - and I hate Walmart clothes, although they are getting better than they used to be. I MUCH prefer Target. I do get things for the little kids at Walmart though, if the price is right. And usually only shop the sale clothes at Target.

Thanks to everyone who gave shopping tips! smilie

p.s. Quantum of Solace was awesome!

If I scaled my normal viewing area down to 94% I was able to fit everything on screen without scrolling. Scrolling really doesn't bother me so I wouldn't change anything on my account smilie

Messageuuhhhh, no Matthew smilie . I've actually never shopped at either of those places ever in my life. Boy did I make myself sound stuck up or what? I buy some things at Walmart like the boys boxers, socks and maybe the kid's pajamas. I don't usually like the style of clothes they sell. Target has awesome clothes but to me, sometimes it's cheaper to go to a specialty shop and hit the sales than buy from Target. They can be expensive, at least here in Chicago area.

MessageI meant to mention that when we do that with the season swap, we always buy a size or two up so it will fit the next season. smilie

MessageMatthew,

Growing up in a surfing city, we are into Quiksilver, Billabong and all the surfing brand clothing. WE always shop that way for the kids and it works out great. We buy $30 - $40 summer Quiksivler shirts in the fall for $6 and do the same thing in the spring/summer. It's awesome. It works for kids too. smilie

MessageOh Good Grief, I made myself sound like I can afford that stuff....no way. I am a snob about brands, but I shop clearance racks and sales. All of my kids get jeans that are under $20. Well, all of them except Tyler. He caddied this summer and was bringing in some dough. So, he would go to Hollister and spend $70- $80 on jeans and equal that for ONE shirt. One time he spent just over $200 and only had four things. I thought he was insane, but that's what all his friends wear and he is worse than any girl I've ever seen when it comes to fashion and clothes. Cody, thankfully, isn't like that. He is happy and comfy in $15 Nike T-shirts and could care less what kind of jeans he has on or shoes for that matter.

I would never pay any high price for purses or whatever. I carry a Quiksilver or Roxy backpack and have had it for a few years. My jeans though, I get them at Abercrombie, but I've had the same jeans for four years.
And you are right about Kailea's coat....we only paid that much because it will last for at least three years. All the kids have ski coats because it's a necessity up here with -30 degree weather. They've all had the same coat for the last three years and Tyler is just now outgrowing his.

Okay, hopefully I've redeemed myself in some sort of way smilie smilie
