Sus's & Ya-Ya's


Sus's. (suh-ses)
They are my favorite.
A tradition.
Mama Sandie started it when we were kids.
Short for surprise.
Something you're not expecting.
A fun little treat.
Ya-ya's are good too.
They are little trinkets you are begging for in the store, with no good reason for getting it.
They don't have to be expensive.
In fact, the $2 items are sometimes the very best!
So today I got the boys some sus's at the store.
Under $10 total and well within the weekly budget.
I can't wait!
p.s.
sean totally read this before i had a chance to surprise him.
dang it.

Aw, I'm a pushover. If I'm at the store and the kids want something that's only a buck or so, I get it.

The dollar bins in Target are amazing! We stop every time we go. Ryan is a huge believer of the jump rope for his workouts. He does "double unders" and they absolutely KILL him but they are amazing I guess for workouts. I'll just take his word for it.
