shopping spree...

I should learn to keep my pie-hole shut. So, I said a week ago this month was scarce of money. It still is. And what did I do with my day of? Spend money *sigh and eye-roll*

Edit:: Picture removed due to lack of space
It started yesterday with one pair of shoes and one pair of sandals, both size 23, which means they'll probably fit this summer and fall, if they're a little big doesn't matter since they're a good model, so they'll be comfy any way for him. 22€ for both, and I got a pair of brown seats for pup "on the bargain". Good buy, pup'll need shoes, these are horrendously expensive, and not to be found here, so it's Sweden and Arninge (almost 1,5 hours drive from the boat) that is the closest place to sell Kavat shoes. I did ask the store where I bought his winter boots in January if they'd stock Tepsut walking shoes for the spring, but she didn't know. I can only hope.

And today I spent 75€ on toys for pup... Doesn't he look happy. He was really ecstatic, playing with everything as I went through the stuff. he doesn't get it all now though. He will get the Lego Quatro that is in the big plastic bin, I've been looking for them for quite a while. They are in size to Duplo, as Duplo are to Lego.

These are our bricks, we own one (1) piece of Duplo, that I use to illustrate. I don't know how it ended up on our balcony, but it spend a fair amount of time in a flower pot next to a stone painted as a ladybug.

And then, apart from the Lego Quatro that cost 15€ (I would happily have paid double, because they don't sell them anymore, and I found some at the charity sorting, but someone had moved them from the pricing-table where I put them, and then they thought I didn't want them, so they sold them. I was pissed then, but not at them of course, they couldn't know) the same person was selling of a bunch of Fisher Price Little People items. I love them! And pup really likes the stuff he has (a buss, a tractor and a lorry).

the Little People's already living here. The lorry he got for x-mas from me and D. The buss I bought second had last summer, thought the sound was broken, dished it (!) and then realized where the switch was, tried in batteries and it worked =) The tractor he got from his Godfather for his birthday.

These two I've bought second hand, separately, for the buss, and pup was so happy when he got more passengers =) The firewoman cost me 0,5€ at Bettans, someone sold it separately from it's firetruck. The firetruck was shabby, so I ignored it. the pirate was found at the charity, and cost the same I think. This was last summer as well, and the pirate early fall.

what do you mean "you only bought this for the dragon"? I so did not... completely...



Pink Castle. I forgot to take a pick of this before I packed it away (pup kept unpacking, and going totally pupzilla on my neatly sorted packs. He'd jump/crawl over my legs, slide right down on top of the figures, then roll around to his butt, kick around the figures still standing, and then rump of with a content expression...)
This one is also complete 15€

The playground will be pup's b-day gift, and the castle he'll get for x-mas. I can honestly say that though I am known for being done with my presents early (I fell stressed if I'm not done when November ends) it is the first time I've ever bought a x-mas gift in February =)

    I was happy finding these, and even D thought the castle was a good buy, pink as it was...
