"Day After" Shopping Trip

This morning when I woke up I had no intention of going to any of the after-Christmas mayhem. I never shop on the weekends anymore, let alone on a holiday weekend. However, on the news they said it was fairly quiet. Since there were a few items I wanted to pick up for next year, I decided that we would give it a shot. We managed to get to Target and WalMart without too much hassle. We didn't get out until after eight this morning, so some stuff was pretty picked over. However, we did get a few things that I wanted.

Sophia was a trooper. The promise of looking in the toy isle of each store, combined with sufficient snacks, made her pretty agreeable. After WalMart she insisted that we go to "one more store!" before heading home. To appease her and get some lunch, we stopped at Rite Aid to see if they had any white LED lights left (yeah, right -- not at 11:30 AM). Rite Aid happened to be next to one of our favorite little Mexican places, so we went over for a chicken burrito and chips. Sophia mostly ate chips, but who can blame her? She had been snacking all morning! Now she is napping and I'm off to the shower. :)
