We are NOT doing Black Friday. We never do. I swear people are animals that day... although we are looking for a flat TV, and Target has some amazing Black Friday deals on the, so it's tempting this year, we still are not doing Black Friday. Cyber Monday is a definite possibility, though. (Cyber Monday is the online equivalent of Black Friday, except that you don't have to leave your house at 11 pm just to stand in a line to get into a store in time for the doorbuster sales at 7 am the following morning.)
Anyhow, so how are we doing? Well... not as great as I had hoped to be, but not horrible, and probably will be doing even better still by the end of the week.
For Orren's birthday, we have the Early Rider balance bike. I still need to get him a helmet and a set of knee and elbow pads, but they seem not to sell any in his size that aren't hopelessly lame looking, so the search continues.
For Orren's Christmas, we picked him up a pillow pet at the mall the other day. OK, so it's a knockoff pillow pet made in Juarez, but it looks exactly the same as the ones they sell for twice the price on TV, and he'll love it. He's always taking Erin's pillow pet, so we knew he'd love one of his own.
For Erin's Christmas, I just bought her a Hello Kitty scooter on Amazon. She mentioned that she wanted a scooter with two wheels (and really, that 3-wheel scooter she has, is getting way too small for her. Orren uses it more than she does these days.) so I thought the Hello Kitty one was perfect for her. It's a Razor scooter, too, so it's really good quality. The price was great.
We've still got to get her Nintendo DS, and there's a possibility we'll do that within the week as well. That's really the only major expensive thing we've still got to get. The other stuff is all $50 or less, so not too big a deal.
We won't find out anything on how much we'll get in gift cards from Heroes at Home until a couple weeks from now, so for now, we're going ahead and banking on 0 just to be on the safe side. We're sure it will be more than 0, but we're not holding out for it or anything, because that wouldn't be wise.
I can't believe we've only got a few days until Thanksgiving, and then after that, Christmas will be less than a month away. I don't care about Christmas really... I just about never have. It's Orren's birthday, though. I can't believe my little boy is going to be 2 years old! It's not fair! He's supposed to be a baby and now he's all big and ready for a balance bike and stuff.
I hope the kids have a good Christmas this year. I'm sure they will.
