"Is TV? In Store????!!!"

Part of the holiday experience is the traditional taking of Christmas Photos to put on the Card Containing the Letter Full of Lies.  Now that my boys are approximately the same size, we have no clothes that are not destroyed.  Enter Gymboree.

I went with my friend, Shalynn,  in the morning when we thought our children would be best behaved.  We were such fools.  Almost immediately Buster fell down while playing "chase the girls and scream loudly" and cracked his head and things just got more awesome from there.  

But we perservered and our reward for shopping together?  We signed up together for Gymboree Rewards and saved big-- 25% on top of the sale prices--and got GymBucks.  Which are like gold.  And now my kids have a matching look for the cards. And I saved enough to ALMOST be able to afford stamps to send them out.

Moral of the story?  It is worth taking the children out in public to shop with a friend.
