No, no - you didn't miss my tips #1 to 43, it's just that these little items are so insignificant, they didn't really merit numbers 1 and 2, so I jumped ahead a bit. Besides, it is just an excuse to write a little and post a few more cute pics. Pics which really have nothing to do with the post, but I won't let that stop me.So, here they are....
Tip #44: Spunky daughter will keep hairbow in for the duration of church - not touching it one.single.bit! - IF you promise a donut afterward (see also this post for more on the Almighty Donut!). Said spunky daughter also fully realizes her promise and the significance of the deal - after a couple hours of leaving the super-cute hairbow alone, she promptly removes it once the donut has been fully consumed. We're are nothing here, if not good to our word.
Tip #45: You can spend lots less at Target if you go with no cart and a 2 year old on the loose! I left there with 2 items (all I could carry while keeping one free hand to avoid unnecessary destruction of aisle end-caps!) and I spent only $3.12. Amazing. Even more amazing: a girl galloping (literally) through Target can illicit smiles from the somber and stickers from the managers.
As the mighty one says, "Kiki happy!"
And there's nothing better than a Happy Kiki.
Except for a Happy Kiki and a Happy Quinn.

The Target trick, excellent. Now that I have two kids I spend way less money there...it is awesome on the family budget. It simply isn't that much fun anymore to shop...so we don't. Unless we are desperate for shampoo and ziploc bags. which happens every now and again.
