Thrift Store Jackpot!!

Chris and I stopped past one of my two favorite local church thrift stores this morning!  I NEVER go in right when the doors open....want to give the local peeps first crack!!  But this morning, it was just the time we were coming through town.....as we were walking down the steps into the burrows of the building where they set up the little store...we overheard one of the ladies talking to a customer saying "oh that?  thats an xbox....it has all the cords and everything.."  Chris and i stop dead...and watch like hawks as the man glimpses at it, picks it up....puts it down and walks away!!  Score!  Keep walking "man-who-doesn't-know-what-he's missing" i am thinking as we snatch it up!!

Our score!
I am unsure why they had so many new in the box toys today, but i am so excited that i was able to replenish my gift treasure box....gifts for my kids friends that we can pull from through the year!
1-Sweet picture (with my purty reflection in it!!) .. it now hangs in our kitchen above the table.
2-Star Wars bilingual computer (yeah French!) May scoop this one for my boys....
3-Magic trick book...pull it out later for isaac?  He will love it!
4-Super sweet little mermaid jewellery box! two of them! brand new!! When is Leleini's birthday anyway!!??
5-Tonka put-together rescue helicopter
6-New kitchen dishsoap scrubbie complete with spare!!
7- oh yea....and a sweet X-Box.....that i am pretty sure we will be passing on....but what a thrill to find!!
