We (or just myself) decided it would be a great idea to hit Toys R Us at midnight. They had so many great deals. I looked at the ad for weeks making my shopping list of everything I just had to get.
As my Mom, sister and myself traveled up to Kalamazoo (an hour away) we thought out loud that maybe we should have brought 2 vehicles since we had so much stuff on our lists to get. How quickly that thought faded as we pulled into the parking lot and saw the LONG line to get into the store. After all the years of experience, we honestly thought we were just going to walk in...what were we thinking???
This line was so long it took us an hour to get into the store after the doors opened! (So, it is now 1 in the morning)
Remember, we thought that we were just going to walk right in so we didn't bring any jackets or umbrellas to shield us from the rain or wind that night. I think this explains why I have had a Sinus Infection for 3 weeks now!
Once we found a couple of the bigger items my mom stood in the front of the store so we didn't have to haul them around everywhere as my sister was trying to find the end of the line. Who knew this would be the hardest part of the night. This line wrapped around the whole store up and down every aisle! I just kept shopping as my soldiers were stationed at their posts. I ended up finding the Store Manager and Receiving Guy who went in the back room to find EVERYTHING that was on my list. I was shocked! Plus, we were able to add so much more to my pile as we stood in line for over an hour just to check out. (The time after check-out was 3 in the morning)
I would love to share with you everything I got and all the great deals but I would hate to spoil anyone's Christmas surprise from the Boyums! So I'll give you a sneak peak....
