The kids and I went to Target today. They both had money to spend so I let them take that with them. We went to Target because part of Michaela's money was a gift card to Target. I had to get some other things while we were there, too.

Michaela got a couple new Littlest Petshop toys. She was trying to buy the Polly Pocket Stackable Studios that she doesn't have yet. I had to tell her no, because I have them for her already. They are hidden away for Christmas time. She also got a new "Magic Tree House" book. She loves those books.

Caleb bought a new Leapster game. I tried to get him to buy the Creature Create game, but he wanted Sonic. He also bought two new Monster Trucks. He was very happy they were on sale.

I got them both book sets that have magnetic play sets with them to put in their activity boxes for when we go on our vacation. Then, we picked out two $5.00 Scooby Doo DVDs for them to take in the van on vacation. I also let them each get a water noodle. They have been wanting them for a while. They can use those in our pool, at the park pool and when we go on vacation. They are pretty cheap, too.

I also had to buy some necessities like milk and bread, etc. And, I bought a toaster oven for church. They need it to shrink the shrinky dinks for VBS. I know I'll never use it so it's just being donated to church. I'm sure they can find other uses for it in the kitchen as time goes on. It's really cool, too. It's got handles on the rack/tray that are on the outside of the oven so they stay cool and you can take the rack out without using pot holders.

It was a really productive shopping trip.
