Tot Swap!

This past weekend was the Tot Swap...which is a HUGE maternity, baby and kids consignment!

I have only been to the one near our new house once and on Wednesday evening when I dropped off all that I was consigning, I was hugely surprised that it has grown to almost four times as large as it was in the spring of last year!

As I walked around putting my stuff out, I looked for things to add to my list of what I wanted to get the next day!

Even though I got to get in at 4pm with a pre-sale pass the two things I really wanted were gone. I was hoping to get a big red wagon and a water table which I had seen the day before! Oh well, I still found some awesome deals! I much rather spend some money on getting a bunch of second hand stuff then EVER purchasing brand new!

I got a Little Tykes kitchen for $35 bucks! This I'm sure will be in our family for quiet a few years. Claire absolutely LOVES it and has had a hard time sharing it!

A doll house for $12. Three push-poppers, TWO PINK,  for $13. Two ride-on cars, ONE PINK, for $13. Another outdoor swing for $10, and it's PINK! Some cute girly books. Some bath books...and I am sure more stuff that I can't even remember. I also got them some Carters onesies for summer, with the tags still on them!

However, I did get a bunch of clothes for Emily that still had the tags on them! Even though she was born on a month different than the girls, she is much more the porker and isn't going to be able to stick with a lot of the clothes I had for the girls. All of the girls summer stuff was in mostly 3 months and very few 6 month, and Emily barely still fits in 3 month clothes at only 2 months! So, I took advantage of buying some really cute things for her! It's so easy shopping for one, I swear! :)


Here are some outfits, Emily is looking oh so cute in them!

Also, Nana bought the girls two power wheels ride on princess cars which I know they are going to love this summer!


All and all it was a great shopping trip!

Birth Stat Prints!

A few months ago I saw this post on a friend's blog and I had been dying to get some of these done for my girls too. I tried to figure it out on my own but apparently I just couldn't get it right!

So, I emailed Lindsey and she hooked us up with some super cute Birth Stat Prints!

So, the day I received them, I ran to Joann Fabrics and bought some frames and up they went on the walls! The colors weren't as vibrant as I hoped when printed on the card stock and the purple looks a little blueish/periwinkle to me, but all and all I am totally happy with the way they came out! 

Emily has one too, I just didn't get a photo this time.


Stay tuned for a tour of our home each week on Tuesdays! The first "Tour Tuesday" starting next week will be the girl's rooms!

We LOVE our new princess ball pit!

Claire won't leave the darn thing and it's been 3 days since I spent a whopping 5 bucks on this little gem at the Mom of Multiple's Sale this past weekend! Who knew!?

Of course the packaging was a little misleading when it showed the pit overflowing with balls and yet there were only 20 in the package! 

 

Nice. What do you expect for 5 bucks, but the package was never opened and it retailed for $42. I would be mad if I spent 42 bucks on this and in reality with ALL the balls in it, it looks like this...

We will be ordering some more balls...only, I can't seem to find them in the pink, purple and yellow. Only in the blue, red, green, orange and yellow. Blah, I want them to match and be girly. I'll keep shopping!

Wordless Wednesday: Our Christmas Card 2010

Finally I ordered our Christmas cards this past weekend. If you remember this post, I recieved 50 FREE HOLIDAY CARDS from SHUTTERFLY.

We finally took a photo that was worthy enough for the card, and the cards were recieved today. I must say this is the latest I have ever sent my Christmas cards out. How horrible. But how could I pass up 50 free cards?? I did pay extra for 2 day shipping, which I wouldn't have had to pay if I was on-time ordering. But all in all I spent $12.56, saving as total of $120.89!!! So 50 cards for 12 bucks! I think this was the deal of the year!

Christmas Cards!

I was so excited to see this post by a fellow Blogger which gave me a great idea for my Christmas cards this year...well how to get them much cheaper than I could have! Shutterfly is offering 50 Free Holiday Cards to Bloggers!

This made me so excited, I love making things on Shutterfly, it's super easy! I made all of my own wedding albums and got such great quality, used as many photos as I wanted and it was finished in no time! I LOVE my wedding albums, and I love when people as me if I did them, and I proudly can say yes, with Shutterfly's help!

So here are some of my favorites cards from Shutterfly's Holiday Season Collection 2010. I will be coming to a conclusion on which one we'll choose after our maternity photos are done in the first week of December (hopefully I make it that long). I am so excited. I wanted to wait until I was as big as I could be before I had my photos done, with enough time to be safe and not go into labor. I will also be having a close friend of mine taking photos in the coming week and then again right after Christmas, because I want to get my belly in all the stages. I hopefully will never be pregnant with triplets again, so I want to remember this special pregnancy and have something to show the girls when they are older. But I thought I really would love my Christmas card this year to show our growing family!

And I am not a fan of "Happy Holidays"...I must have a card that says "Merry Christmas"!

This one is my favorite...because we never gave up hope on having a baby, we always believed God had/has a plan for us.

And I love black and white photos, as in this one seen here...they are my favorite type of photos, because sometimes colors don't match up perfectly, and I cannot have things not match!!



And this one is cute, found here, since it says "Holly Jolly"...



And I love simple ones, just like these, found here and here.
