Treasure Hunt!

We stopped into Michael's Friday for a few great deals. While we were there one of the ladies came up to us and told us about a treasure hunt they were going to host on Saturday. We were a little late getting there, (we called ahead and they said to come anyway), but still had a great time. The treasure hunt had just started but the few kids that were there made quick work of it. Out of our 4 children only one treasure block was found. I told the kids it was okay and that it was our fault because we were late getting there. The lady in charge was so kind. She noticed what happened and took several blocks and hid them again so our kids could search for them. She didn't have to do that. I thought it was very sweet. After the kids found them it was time to get their "treasures". They were allowed a certain number of treasures depending on how many blocks they found. Some of the other kids had to have a maximum number given because they had too many. There was one family there that was snatching up things as fast as they could grab them. Why is there always someone like that? Again the lady was very kind and helped our kids find some treasures they liked. Our kids had a blast. The lady was super nice and I was surprised at all the free things they were given. They were even allowed to keep the blocks! They are the stamp blocks and will be fun for crafts.


LOOK! It's Elton John!


I Couldn't Resist
I have to admit I want a pair of these glasses. Wouldn't it be fun to go out in public & see the looks from others? LOL!

I picked up a bucket & shovel set for each of the children as they were only $1. I bought some note cards too. Fifty cents a pack! They cost several dollars in the department stores.
These are the deals I found yesterday at Michael's.
DMC Embroidery Floss = 4 for 99 cents
Clay flower pots = 3 for 99 cents
Scrapbooking Scissors (they cut specific designs) = 3 for 99 cents
Notepad with magnet on the back = 50 cents (I use these for grocery lists, etc.)
