On Monday, the kids and I went to Target. Usually, we follow a strict gameplan: Dash In, Get What We Need And ONLY What We Need, and Dash Out. But Zoey and Zed were unusually docile, so we had time to actually walk around the joint and look at stuff.
Yes, I'm about to tell you about things we saw in Target. That's what happens when I write a post every day. Deal.
Halloween Is Officially Over . . .
I decided to look for some clearance Halloween candy. No such luck. What happens to this stuff? Does it go back to the chocolate factory to be repackaged in Christmas wrappers? Or do the chocoholics descend upon the stores on November 1st, gobbling up everything in sight?There was plenty of leftover candy corn, however. Gross.
. . . Because Christmas Has Already Begun!
I took the kids to see the Christmas tree display, mainly to see Zed's reaction. Last year, he was only ten months old at Xmas time, so he didn't really get that much out of it.He's ready this year. When he saw the trees, he immediately broke into his Happy Monkey Dance, which means he twirls his arms and legs in circles, makes the "O Face," and makes monkey noises. The kid ain't right.
After thirty seconds of the Happy Monkey Dance, he tried to rip the ornaments off the tree. It's going to be a long Christmas.
But Don't Forget About Thanksgiving
Do you know they make Thanksgiving cards now? Really, what's the point? Who are you going to thank that doesn't already have a day (anniversary, birthday, Mother's, Father's, or Grandparents' Day, etc.)? You're getting greedy, Hallmark.I'll Never Be This Desperate
Do you know there's a video game based on Desperate Housewives? The hell?I Wouldn't Play This For My Worst Enemy, Let Alone My Children
We were checking out the children's music section when I came across Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions Of Coldplay. Isn't that redundant? Regular Coldplay puts me to sleep.Apparently the company has released albums of lullabies by Radiohead, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Tool, The Cure, The Beach Boys, Nirvana, and Led Zeppelin. Coming in 2007 are albums dedicated to Queens of the Stone Age, The Eagles, Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, No Doubt, The Beatles, and The Pixies.
I feel so unclean.
