Swag

I keep planning to write about my trip, or about the things I found when I cleaned out the fridge the other night, but instead it's going to be another photo post.

I went out with Evilducky and Teacher Incognito this evening, and scored some pretty sweet deals.

At Target, I almost bought Indy a set of black and red lamé bat wings, but decided to hold out. I couldn't find a picture of them online, but saw these two costumes, one bizarre and one ridiculously awesome:


I dunno...I think I'll hold out for an Indiana Jones fedora.

I did buy this miniature working trebuchet, a steal at only $4.99:


I'm going to give it to my officemate, who was thinking about building a pumpkin catapult for Halloween for work, but didn't have time over the summer to get it approved and budgeted. I'm holding out hope that he'll go for it next year. And how awesome is my job that when my officemate said, "I want to build a pumpkin catapult" our supervisor said, "Go for it"?

After Macduff decided he'd had enough shopping for one night and headed off for home with his mama incognito, Evilducky and I went to Kohl's to check out the clearance selection.

I got these super cute shoes:



I got a few super early Christmas gifts for people, but since the people in question read this blog, I can't tell you what I got. Pretty good stuff, though!

And then, since we have actually and finally chosen the date after which we will no longer be preventing / will begin trying for kidlets (No, I'm not saying when. No, it's not this year), I bought some very cute baby outfits:


(These are a bit confusing to me. The one on the left is marked 18 months and the one on the right is marked 9 months. I don't mean to cast aspersions on the fine folks at Carter's who made both outfits, but they look about the same size to me.)

I also got some cute (cheap, cheap) stuff at an outlet mall on my way back from my vacation, so if you want to see more spawn clothes, click the photo below. Otherwise, consider yourself spared. And tomorrow, I'll try extra hard to save time to write about the fridge.
