Shopping In The U.S. of 'A

Oh my goodness we had an awesome day! Parker and I left the house at 7:30 and picked up Grammy and then we drove to Watertown, New York to do some serious shopping. Last week I sent a quick e-mail to my mom saying that I really wanted to go to Tar-Jay and her reply was "I'm game!" 

We arrived at 9:30 a.m. and we shopped at target until noon. Honestly, talk about my new favourite store. I have absolutely fallen. in love.!!! Target carries everything imaginable from clothing, to office supplies, home decor and groceries. Rumour has it that Target will be opening in Kingston, Ontario in April 2013 and all I can say is Rob, we might have a problem. This is coming from a gal who didn't really embrace colour for the past couple of years - i.e. all of our furniture is dark - but I've quickly learned that it's nice to have pops of colour and patterns throughout out your decor. It's kind of strange how it makes you feel when you see some lime green, bright blue and orange hues ~ almost makes you smile and say "Hello colour, I didn't know you existed!! '

We had an amazing shopping trip and I should have told the VERY nice man at "duty" (who let us pass without paying a cent) that we shopped until the little man dropped! We got fuel at 3:00 pm and Parker was fast asleep in his carseat by 3:01 p.m. I can't wait to organize and display all of our goodies from today's shopping spree (and a spree it really was because I honestly don't shop EVERY day but when I go on a spree, it does seem like there really is a use for everything, even though I didn't know I needed things lol). Here are a couple of cute pictures of Parker during our day in the U.S. of 'A.

We all need our caffine fix!
