Dollar Tree Score!!!!

I almost NEVER go to the dollar store. I just don't think about it - I'm a Target fan and a frequent Wal-Mart shopper :) BUT - ever since I started with the bento lunches I've wanted to get in there and see what they have as far as cute little containers for the kids' lunches. I love their 2 tier Bento boxes but when we're just eating at home those really aren't necessary. So today I had SPARE time (really...I did!) before getting Braden so I stopped in. I do have to say that Dollar Tree is the Macy's of dollar stores LOL It's better than others so I'm glad there is one close for times like this.



Aren't these CUTE??? Oh my gosh I love them! I would've bought every animal set they had if I thought I could get away with it (Darren is NOT a fan of dollar stores so I'm going to need to bring these in a little at a time!). I need to get a little basket or tub to start keeping all this stuff in - then I can let the kids pick what they want to use - so fun!

There is a bowl with lid - and that lid is very tight fitting which makes me super happy. Then there are, what I'm calling, yogurt cups and a spoon! How cool is that? We buy yogurt in the larger tub instead of single serve cups so these are perfect! Not to mention if I want to give them pudding or jell-o...maybe diced fruit. isn't it funny that I can spend a few bucks and be so happy???

I also grabbed this Toy Story number puzzle mat for Braden. Counting isn't his strong suit - he thinks 6 is a floater and can go where ever it's needed. He loved it and did great...the 6 is even in his assigned spot! I think Mrs. Ellett must be doing her job right at school!!! (I also picked up some scotch tape for Hailee because I want to be the best mom in the world and that will do it!)



that's all - just had to share my excitement! :)
