Black Friday Update: Still a Black Friday Virgin

I had considered getting up early today to hit the shopping sales, but was still in bed at 10:30 am. Instead, I came down to the kitchen, had some leftover pie with my family for breakfast, took my coffee with me to the couch and spent the next 5 hours sitting there by the fire shopping online with my hubby. It was divine. The kids played upstairs and watched a movie and would come downstairs every now and then to show me a picture they colored or an outfit they put on. When we heard their little feet coming down the stairs, we would simply close our laptop and they were none the wiser. I'm still a Black Friday virgin, but I tip my hat to all of you who braved the stores. You are far more ambitious than I.

Ok, are you trying to make us green with envy here?

I too have 4 kids (9, 5, and 3 year old twins) and I was totally in awe when I read your post. Seriously, if I tried to chill by the fire with my husband for 5 hours while the kiddos were upstairs, they would probably either destroy the house or each other....and stay in bed until 10:30? No such luck...we have at least one or two little gremlins jumping in between us every morning by at least 7:00!

I think you should start sharing some of you parenting secrets with us!
