Why I love January birthdays!

One word: CLEARANCE!!!!


Without even meaning to, we were able to get more toys for Hollister's birthday because of the awesome clearance sales. And ya know, we just don't have enough toys in our house!


Trevor and I happened upon this train set by complete accident.
It was an absolute steal and we just had to get it.
We paid $20 for the table, the toys, and the basket.
Have you the set up at Barnes and Noble in the kids section?
This is almost the same (smaller though) and trust me, its more than $20 at B&N.
The other day we were at Target and looked at buying another train for it.
The ONE train was $20 by itself... like I said, it was a steal of a deal!!!!


And its a bonus that Hamilton likes it too!




More Trio toys! This was actually an original gift, but he did get a bonus bucket of trios that we found on crazy clearance!


And this is what can be built using all those Trio toys!


the backside

No, he didn't build this elaborate toy by himself. The oldest boy, aka Daddy, in the house helped. But, Hollister is extremely creative with these Trio toys and I could start an entire new blog based on what he builds on his own!

Btw.. We did NOT buy the $20 train piece. Clearance, people... Clearance is the key word here!
