A perfect day

Ahh, what a beautiful day yesterday. Sunny, breezy, and warm - the perfect day for . . . thrift store shopping! While Jeff and Hannah were out running some errands, John Ryan and I took a trip to the CHKD thrift store near our house. I found some Stride Rite white dress shoes for Hannah for $1.98 (just in time for Beatrix Potter Day at school tomorrow) and a fun Barney fold-out book for John Ryan for $0.78. Score!

Later on, after Jeff went to work and the kids had their naps, I decided to take them to Riverview Farm Park, which is always great for free fun. I love that the kids are getting old enough to entertain each other - this is a cell phone pic of Hannah pushing John Ryan in the swing.

After the playground, we hopped on over to Jeff's Starbucks for drinks - on the house! When Jeff is working, he always makes our hydration a top priority. An iced venti nonfat chai, an iced tall chai, and an apple juice later, we were much improved. And a bonus - a customer had left their copy of the Sunday paper in the bin so I collected all the coupons and inserts. Yay for me!

The best things in life really are free, or $3.00 at the thrift store.
