Looks what happens when Mom trys to eat lunch by herself...

Is anyone else drawn to the little red stickers that are strategically placed on items at Target? Yes, you know the ones. Those silly little stickers that let you know that an item is now 15%, 30% or maybe even 75% off at Target.

Brooke and I were wasting time at Target today while we waited to pick up the three others from piano. Brooke is like her mother and just wanted to buy something. We came to an endcap where there was some Crayola sidewalk "paint" on sale - yes that little red sticker indicated that these items were 30% off! Only $6.98. Who could pass up such a bargain? I knew it would provide at least an hour of entertainment for Brooke and Erin. Since the summer days are getting quite long and it's hard to fill them, I went for it. I also purchased some veggies and chicken for a salad for my lunch.

When we arrived home the girls immediately tore into the sidewalk paint. They went outside to enjoy themselves and didn't even ask for lunch. Ahhhh, I thought to myself. I'll be enjoying lunch in front of the computer while I catch up on my email. I was halfway done with my salad when I was beckoned to the front door by Erin's voice. I would have never dreamed what I would see next.



More paint on the sidewalk or bodies?


Don't forget the hair!

Darn those little red stickers!
