garage sale find

stopped at a garage sale on the way to shopping in town and spotted these guns still in their packaging! the boys were so excited to play with them! there's two ball popper guns and two pistols with sheriff badges.

i also was able to get a little, travel-size magnadoodle for just a buck! excited about that, b/c i'd been thinking about buying one new.

coffee punch, YUM

first time i ever made it and, boy, was it delish!
