Thank you Uncle Sam for "saving" my money

First let me start off with.... I love taxes. Why? I love paying out of my ass all year to get a decent return. I feel like I take more then I need to out - and know how to live with out it. In turn - when our return came this year I was VERY exciting :)


So before the check for our return had even reached our mailbox I had already mentally spent it. 


Im going to buy new shoes, work out clothes, Paisley a car seat and pay off bills.


So today and yesterday is the day we put our return to use (and then banked the majority of it)


I always believe taxes are for the parents to reward themselves for a year of hard work well done.  Once we were at the store my thought process changed.


Our journey began yesterday. Paisley's little legs have out grown her infant car seat. I fell in love with this car seat one time while at a store- and mentally spent my tax returns on it. Paisley digs it. 



We got Paisley a fun toy to play with while in the car... 


...so here is where buying things for yourself turns into buying things for kids.


I though if Paisley is getting new things... Jade needs something too.

7 Barbie Princess'



Cool right? Jade and Paisley get a new toy... So then... I think its not fair for Jade to get a toy more expensive then Paisley... So she got another toy.

The balls pop up and go down the spiral.


Today we had a few more errands to run so I told Jade if you take a nap you can get ONE Barbie (you cant give all 7 at a time or she wont think they are as cool)

Jade refused to take a nap. She was NOT tired.
