The boys got this art center for Christmas from Grandma and Grandad and I FINALLY got it put together last week. It has a chalk board on one side, a white board on the other and then a roll of paper that comes down that you can paint/color on. They also got paints and dry erase markers to go with it. (Thank you Aunt Kim!) Colm LOVES to paint, so this was the perfect gift for him. He has already created several masterpieces (and a really big mess.) But hey, it’s in the basement, so who cares.
I have discovered the Stride Rite Outlet store. (I think I heard angels singing as I was walking out I was so happy with myself.) They have this super cool electronic foot measuring thing and of course we have a 11 1/2 XW (Colm) and 2W (Liam) so Stride Rite is the place for shoes, especially for Mr. I Have Bricks at the End of my Ankles Colm. I got Liam’s shoes, normally $42 for $28 and Colm’s shoes, normally $28 for $25 AND they have BOGO. You can’t go wrong. We will be going back when it is time to buy shoes for school.
