2 down … how many to go?

Remember when I panicking back in October about not getting started on my Christmas shopping? That day I ended up buying almost all of the Irish boys their gifts. Funny how the brain gets on that right away. I wanted to show you what I bought for the two little ones. It’s a really neat website  based out of California designed by two father’s, where you can personalize a few things for loved ones.

I bought these two books and personalized them from Auntie Nancy, and I got these Firetruck place mats for them as well. I think they’ll be excited even if they’re just two and three years old, right? Seeing your name on something is that exciting at that age am I right? I have no idea. I haven’t been around kids in a few years :(  Frecklebox (cute name) is pretty reasonably priced too. Especially having it shipped up from the states. I’m sure they’ll like it. Boys like trucks and books before bed. Happy day for all.

Speaking of happy days for all. I’m a bit disappointed that I wasn’t able to pick up my favorite HONEY CRISP apples at the grocery store the other night. I wasn’t about to pay $2.49/lb for apples that looked poked and bruised, so I opted to go to Sobeys instead of my regular loblaw’s grocery store just a few minutes walk from our apartment. Sobey’s had the honey crisp’s on for $1.99/lb which sounded much more reasonable. Except for the fact that all of the other apples were on a huge discount sale for $0.45/lb!! I decided to stray away from the juicy crunchy favorite of ours and picked up a dozen royal gala’s instead. Why are the favorite things in life so much more expensive than the other ones. It was 4x as expensive as all the others! Bummer. :(

Hope you all have a good Tuesday!
