Oops! That is obviously for Gap, not Old Navy. Sorry!!

My 3 kids each got one for Christmas last year. The 9 yo and 7 yo girl liked them for about 2 weeks, now they occasionally sit on their bed or are thrown under it. My 4 year old little boy however LOVES his. He named it Mrs. Turtle. Mrs. Turtle, along with his blanket, come down the stairs with him every morning and return to bed with him every night. I bought a pee-wee Mrs. Turtle (Baby Turtle?) for him this year and he could care less about it - LOL! But heaven forbid, you forget Mrs. Turtle when you head upstairs to bed!

###The store here had girls winter puffer coats for 50% off today (well one was a fashion plaid bomber, the other a printed puffer coat according to the tags) , as well as the nice waterproof girls gloves at 50% off. I bought two winter coats for my girls to play in the snow for $17.48, originally $34.99. Gloves were 2.48, marked down from 4.99. The tag says they are ski gloves.

Just wanted to add my thanks. Took all 3 kids to have their feet checked and all 3 of them needed new shoes - one of my girls went up 1 1/2 sizes!! The other went up a half size and the 3rd went up a full size as well. This made it sooo much better with a 50% off coupon. We got tennis shoes for all 3 and a pair of dress shoes for each of the 2 girls. 5 pair for $56.00!!

This is my Dad's absolute favorite dessert. My Mom is expected to bring it to Thanksgiving every year! Butter Pecan Dessert 1 cup saltines, crushed 1 cup graham crackers, crushed 1 stick butter, melted 2 (3.4 oz) pkgs French vanilla instant pudding 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 gallon butter pecan ice cream, softened 1 (8 oz) carton Cool Whip 3 to 4 Heath bars, crushed In small bowl, combine saltines, graham crackers and butter until moistened. Press into 13 x 9 inch pan with fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. In large bowl, mix pudding and milk, add ice cream and mix thoroughly. Pour onto crust and refrigerate until set. After set, spread Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with crushed up Heath bars. Also posting my favorite one from my MIL too (this is waaaay better than pumpkin pie in my opinion). Make sure you have Cool Whip to put on top. Not only does this taste delicious but your house will smell excellent while it is baking! Pumpkin Pie Cake 1 (15 or 16-oz) can pumpkin 4 eggs 1 can Milnot 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 (18.25-oz) pkg. yellow cake mix 2 sticks butter, melted 1 c. pecans, chopped (optional) Mix together pumpkin, eggs, Milnot, sugar, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice in large bowl. Pour into an ungreased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix on top of pumpkin mixture in pan. Drizzle melted butter over top of cake mix. Sprinkle with pecans if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Top with Cool Whip before serving. And an awesome drink I had at a x-mas party last year too: French Iced Coffee 3 cups strong brewed coffee (she used Hazelnut) 2 cups sugar 1 pint half and half 1 quart milk 2 teaspoons vanilla Dissolve sugar in hot coffee. Let cool. Mix in rest of ingredients. Pour into quart size freezer bags and freeze. Remove from freezer 2 hours before serving. Serve icy/slushy. Makes 18 to 20 servings.

At Toys R Us you can pre-order a 3-pack of the Zhu Zhu pets. Just go to Toys R Us dot com and search for Zhu Zhu pets - it should be the first one to come up. It is a 3-pack for $34.99, but you can get $10 off with Bill Me Later if you are new to it. Ship date isn't until December, but I was looking for Christmas anyway so that didn't bother me - especially considering Amazon has the same 3 pack for $150 from a different retailer. I'd post a link, but I'm still too new!
