Oh Happy Day

So the kids had dentist appts with Dr. Pike yesterday and on the way back to the Eastside, the girl needed to pee. So we stopped at the GW on Grand to use the facilities. And well it was almost noon and I really didn't want to head all the way to Gresham and then turn around and go pick up E.
Anyways back to the story. I took Mad to the bathroom and then of course they want to "just look" at the toys. So I said okay, I've got time to kill, right?! Well on the way to the toy section is the craft section. And I see bags of yarn. The knitter I am, has to look to see what kind of yarn. Oh it's WOOL!!! and the next one, WOOL! and it goes on. There are 11 bags of almost all wool yarn. And the bags were priced at only $3.99! One bag was priced at $2.99. So for a little over $50 here's what I got:
a pirate flag (the kids said we needed a new one, cause the other one was starting to tear.)
wizard tattoos. Okay I couldn't deny wizard tattoos.
