Oh the fun of after Thanksgiving Sales!!!

Spencer and I have been talking about getting a new t.v. for a very long time. When we saw the Wal-mart ad, we knew that the time for buying a t.v. had finally arrived. We didn't want to miss out on this sale! We went to Thanksgiving lunch at Aunt Estella's and then we headed back home around 6. My mom agreed to watch Tarren while we went to Wal-mart. We dropped him off around 9 and went to Wal-Mart. I know we are crazy! We found out where everything was suppose to be and went to the main area to sit. We were the first there. The line started to form around 10:30...so we weren't the only crazy ones. We played cards and made friends with the people in line. Around two, Spencer left to go sit by where the t.v.'s that we wanted were going to be placed. I stayed in the line I was at for the portable dvd player and there was a chance that my cousin Ricky wanted a 50" plasma. Around 4 a.m., the line was huge and people were starting to get anxious. This older hispanic lady came out of no where and sat next to me in line. We were all really confused. She had her grandaughter with her too. They asked the girl next to me where she got this vacuum and when she told her the grandaughter asked us if we would move the cart. We thought she meant the cart in front of her...so the girl said yes. When she left, we all started talking about it and tried to figure out if she was cutting or not. When she came back, I asked her what she was doing and told her the line was way back there. She acted like she didn't understand me. I got the lady behind me to ask her in spanish and she still just ignored us. Word travels fast and people down the line started getting worked up about her cutting. When the manager came out, they were all up there complaining. The hispanic lady tried to say she was there at 10:30. Well, the manager just ignored her and when he handed out tickets just passed her up. So, it all worked out. I got a ticket for the t.v. for Ricky. He came up there at 4 and we just said he was going to pay for it. No one fussed or anything. I got my portable dvd player and headed to the front to find Spencer. It took me at least 15 minutes to try and make it to the front. I can not believe how crowded it was. I felt sorry for the people in line because there was no way they were going to get anything.

Spencer's experience was a lot different. The t.v.'s were just stacked in the aisle. There was suppose to be a line, but it really was just a big crowd. People started coming out of nowhere and pushing and shoving...so before 5 Spencer just went ahead and grabbed our t.v.'s off the stack. He went and got all of the toys we wanted too and made it to the front to check out.

The car was stuffed to the top. We went to Academy afterwards and got a ping pong table. It was sooooo heavy. We had to put it on top of the car. When we got home, we started to set things up. It was like Christmas!!! I got to take an hour nap and Spencer didn't go to bed until we all went to bed at 6:30 that night. It was fun and crazy at the same time.

On another note, Tarren has started to get his bottom teeth in. He is sitting up really good by himself, but he is not crawling yet. He will scoot with this face on the floor, but he just can't get that big body off the ground. It is probably better for us. We can kind of keep him in one place.

I think that is all that has happened since the last time I wrote. Only three more weeks till Christmas break!!! I can't wait!! It has been fun being home with Tarren these last few days.
