You are at the store, and the kids are restless…

November 15, 2009
I know when you have baby #1, everything is a guessing game! Then with #2 you’re better but still guessing. We go everywhere together always. So the store is well a challenge! I know we learned the… go to the toy aisle and give them a toy to play with  while you shop. Then at the checkout just tell the cashier, you don’t want it. Well one time, we didn’t tell the cashier and spent money we didn’t intend to! We were bummed but later were ok with it since those toys became the kids favorite.

We now try not to introduce toys they cannot take home. So what to do? We use other things in the store to distract the kids. Since we’re trying to teach our daughter to read, we try to spell out the signs. With our sobn, we’re challenged more until we found something new!

We discovered.. paint samples! This is a great way to help the kids learn their colors and it’s FREE, and we can take it home and use it there too! Get the primary and secondary colors and whatever else you like! Just get a few and shop and if you need use a second trip by the display top get more. I will warm you it doesn’t last long, as you may know.

Just a personal tip from me, if you don’t do it already! LOL! *hugs*

Ok, so I bet your wondering.. where’s the quilt? heehee, After further examination of the pattern purple I was going to use, it’s was more blue than the other purple I was going to use… UGH! SO I have had to be patient until I can get material. We searched in the city this week and nothing. We just couldn’t find it. So maybe later today, I will just go to the Mercado to get some yards here and there :) I have one project kinda started and so many more in my head!!! I am making everything up in my head and then using Photoshop to design and figure out what and how much! The one here I call Shutters. I know… pretty ugly, for now, I am working on it! Pray I can get material.
