Black Friday Shopping

Once again the family went shopping during the Black Friday sale. Personally I stay out of the fray because I have never been a Black Friday fan. However Momoko and the kids just can't stay away from the sales. Little Kat proposed that I buy some lighted lawn ornaments this year. He picked out a lighted penguin for the lawn.

I tried to order the penguin online. But it was an in-store only item at Walmart. Kit Kat wanted to buy herself some luggage at Kohls. That turned out to be the first stop on the trip. Momoko drove the kids to Kohls and they got in line. They appreciated the fact that Kohls security ensured an orderly entry into the store. Line jumpers were forced to the end of the line.

Kit Kat said she could not find her luggage in the luggage aisle. She asked an employee, who directed her to an obscure location in the store. She got her 5-piece plaid luggage set for a cool $50. Momoko then dropped the kids off at Walmart to see if they could get a lawn ornament. They fought the chaos, but were informed the ornaments were not on sale until 5:00am.

The family came home. Momoko and Kit Kat took a nap. Little Kat played his new Dishonored video game he rented from GameFly. I was asleep when the family left again for the 5:00am sales. They said Walmart was desserted by then (the masses came Thursday night). They bought two lawn ornaments, including a snowman that Momoko wanted.

Kit Kat picked up a couple pairs of boots at Kohls. She also bought a wireless color printer at Staples. There were a lot of other deals that the family took part in. Some of them may be secret for Christmas so I will not list them all here.
