When did I start getting more excited about new clothes for the kids than I do about new clothes for me? I used to l.o.v.e. getting new clothes {don't get me wrong, I still do} but, man, do I just love getting new things for my little ones to wear!
Thanks to Leslie, I've discovered 77Kids - American Eagle's kids line. They had a sale last week and marked TONS of stuff down to $7.77 -- how do you resist 75% off of some items? Even though I missed out on a few things I would've liked, I still got a bunch of much needed clothes for the kids at rockin' prices! When the package arrived today, I just couldn't wait to rip into it. Here are a few of the things I was most excited about... 
new board shorts for M...can't wait to hit the pool!
new board shorts for M...can't wait to hit the pool!
adorable {skull w/ surf boards} polo for M
graphic T for M
my favorite thing for my little man...belted cargos!
T's & tanks for little miss B Oh, btw, being "dressed to the nines" is said to have originated back when taylors used 9 yards of fabric to make a suit. The more fabric used, the higher status you had. There are other theories about the origination of this figure of speach, but that is the one I like the best.
p.s. I know, I know...I'm easily ammused and excitable but I'm glad I have friends and family that love me for it! --Thanks for reading!

i love you for it. i had a math teacher at north tell me "simple minds, simple pleasures." she meant it as a slam, but i take it as a compliment.
i love good deals. little things can make my day. we're good people, dang it!
Yessssss they are adorable:) You ALWAYS find the good buys and of course i ALWAYS pay full price for them and then they go on sale like the day after i place my order.
I cant even tell you how excited i am that you FINALLY added a new post. Not that im stalking your blog or anything?! BUT it had been way to long:)
I LOVE YOU 4 - - and we will see you at the POOL when we get back from Montana:) xoxoxoxo
ha ha ha!! I'm not the only one that stalks your blog! Who is anonymous btw? I found 77kids the same week you did thanks to this wonderful but dangerous email that I get every day from bargainist.com - I discovered martinandosa.com from there too. My new jeans should be arriving from there today. My other favorite to get emails from about sales is overstock.com - Let's just say that I got the hottest Michael Kors boots for 19.99 as well as a few other things. Oooh, I'm addicted to online bargains.
I blame the recession for everything being so cheap!
Thanks for the updated blog. I know that you've been busy but I'm glad you have taken the time to post. NOW, where is the post you've been promising me???????????
Love you!! xoxo
Crystal
Thanks guys! So glad you love my {simple} life! What would it be without those simple pleasures?
Kelly, I can't help but wonder what bitter math teacher told you that. I love that you've carried the positive with you all these years!
Leslie, I actually thought about not posting this because I knew you would be frustrated about paying full price. I'll call you next time I see a good online deal! Oh, & pool this week??
Crystal, Don't tell me those things! I already get in trouble for shopping online so much!! ...& I'm working on it. I've promised you so many that I can't keep up now. Oops. :(
it was mrs. pharis. she was a B. i think she said stuff like that to make me do better...you know, tough love. i think secretly she liked me but sort of also hated me. maybe she was jealous because she was a nerd in high school :( haha. i'm just kidding. that sounded really bad...but not bad enough for me to delete it :)
