it's never too early...

This morning I was so excited to wake up and go out shopping all by myself! It's a very rare thing that a mom gets to just stroll around Hobby Lobby (or any other store) with no time limit, no kids to take potty and not a care in the world!! I stopped and got myself a starbucks coffee and then headed to Hobby Lobby! There I found these cutsie santa and gingerbread man pillows on sale and I bought them to put on the boys beds when we decorate for Christmas! The boys are at the perfect age to fall in love with the holidays and we are already counting down the days to when Santa will visit us! I can't wait to decorate the house and begin baking daily! It's just round the corner!!!!!!

After finding some good deals at Hobby Lobby I went on over to Ross and found some more really REALLY fun Christmas decorations at even better prices then Hobby Lobby had to offer!! First off, there were these christmas themed throw pillows. I know they're kinda "over the top" but if you can't be over the top at Christmas then when can you!?!?

I was also very excited to find a few nutcrackers. Last year I started picking up a nutcracker here and there when I found a good deal and they had these cute nutcrackers at Ross for $7 each! I wish I could leave them out on the shelf right now!!

The best deal of the day, though, was this wooden abstract santa. I saw it sitting on the shelf and thought it was really cute but as I picked it up to look at the price I was thinking I would see at least $5 or $6 on the price tag...to my surprise though the price tag read $1.99!!!! Can you beleive it?!?! When I saw the cheap price I took all the store had to offer...

now we have THREE wooden santas to put out at christmas!!!

Now I have to put all these decorations in the storage closet in the garage but in just a few short weeks we will get to take them back out!! I can't wait!!
