What a deal!

I visit the parents, I get a gift! That's a deal, right? Saturday I took the kids over to see my parents...Grandma and Grandpa were going through withdrawal, not having seen the kids for almost two weeks and all(gasp!) My Mom suggested we hit the new Super Walmart over by them so I could get some Bissell solution for my handheld (sick animals...you can imagine our carpet). So, sneaky Mom dragged me over there and once I had what I needed she sauntered over to the Housewares aisle. And there she showed me the most adorable dishes....and once I said that I liked them, she threw them in the cart and said they were an early Valentine gift to me...for my newly painted kitchen! GO MOM! I guess my old cobalt blue dishes (from the early-mid 90s) don't truly go with a terra cotta colored kitchen, right? My new dishes incorporate the color of our dining room (soft yellow) and the kitchen and even the curtains I have up in the dining room and kitchen! I'm so excited!!!!!! While the old dishes are being boxed up to go to Goodwill, and the new dishes have been washed, I'm sure we'll be eating off of paper for awhile...I wouldn't want to chip a new dish! LOL!
