What did you get?

I few people have been asking so I guess I'll share a bit.

So starting with the pics I posted, top to bottom:
The kid jamz studio was already in the closet. It was only 50% off. I was trying to decide if I was going to buy it for the mall giving tree before Christmas and Adaya feel in love with it. It is pretty fun. I really wanted to get it for our tree tag but I couldn't see spending that much.
The dino imaginex set, wrong item. It was the jungle set that they had. I picked up two for less than 10 each. I set one aside for Josiah and took the other to NCO.
The geo barn was no where to be seen.
I picked up one the pictured little people sets. Decided to take it to NCO.
There was one k'nex set left. It's put away under the stairs for a future date which is currently unknown. It may make it's way to the birthday party shelf at some point. Since the kids don't really need any as gifts. I've got a whole collection of the things.
I picked up one tag reader, it was only 50% off. But It came with the storage case and an extra book. I also got 3 additional books at 75% off.
I scored one lego set.
The game is still 50% off, no thanks.
Cabbage patches were only 50% off as well, no go there.
Biscuit is also still 50% off. They still have a half dozen at BH. I'm hopeful that I may still be able to get one for Adaya and one for Hannah when they drop to 75%. We shall see.
Rose pedal is still just 50% off so I haven't gotten any of that.
I went last Thursday to see if they had more mark downs and picked up the dinaco mcqueen mega block set.
No sand yet, still 50%.
One hot wheel t-rex set put away for josiah's b-day.

I got some other fun stuff. A bunch of stuff for the birthday party shelf like rc cars, shake and fly planes, shake and go cars, a few games.
Also got a few games to have at home like uno flash and cosmic keep away.
I got a bunch of stuff that I took to NCO.
I got princess dolls for Hannah for her b-day.
I got christmas gifts for Dawson and Justin.

Yep. That's what I got.

And the winner is...

The (Theodor Seuss) Geisel Award goes to...

Some things I've been contemplating

If you don't know why, then I guess you don't know what this Thursday is. It happens to be the day that I buy presents for Christmas and every occation before then. Stuff for my kids, stuff for their friends, stuff for our nephews and now nieces, stuff for NCO for kids we don't know. Yes, these are some of the actual items I might purchase, I'm contemplating. I will buy Biscuit if he is still available and another item is already in the closet.
