I have posted on here before how much I love to buy things at Once Upon a Child. Because often you find brand new things for dirt cheap. Yesterday I raked it in for Eva<\/p>\n

And all my pictures here are blurry, had my camera on manual focus and didn’t realize it!<\/p>\n

There is always lots of Gap, Gymboree, and even a Matilda Jane dress (for $8)<\/p>\n

This cute little Gap skirt still had the tags on it.<\/p>\n

And these Halloween pj’s??? Sooo cute.<\/p>\n

I will admit having a girl is fun.<\/p>\n

My hate part comes in with selling there. I learned from my friend Karen to just stop. Because it feels way better just to donate than to go through the hassle of getting the stuff together and them telling you they don’t want your stuff. Even if you just bought it there yesterday.<\/p>\n

It took me a while to realize that Eva can’t wear jeans. I would keep buying them, bring them home, pull off the tags, and THEN try them on her. When a girl has a booty like J Lo (and I know first hand here) it is hard to find jeans that will fit. <\/p>\n

The last pair I put her in was a couple days ago. I set her down and she just immediately tipped over. She got up, but couldn’t bend her legs. I dropped her off at the childcare at my gym and my friend Terri and I had a good laugh as I explained to the girl working there that Eva was having trouble walking today but I was pretty sure it was just her jeans. <\/p>\n

So I have all these jeans. And OUAC won’t take them. They are all cute, namebrand, but no.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it feels better to give them away. <\/p>\n

Moving on, the little chica has learned a new trick. She can unhook her strap in her high chair and she tries to climb out.<\/p>\n

I totally expected Meg to call me out on the 5 kid comment yesterday but she didn’t say a thing. Wonder if that means something….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
