easter basket truck goodies

Today Pearson and I did some shopping at Sam's and I saw some cute pre-made Easter basket mainly full of candy for $20.  Seeing a basket full of candy for $20 got me curious at how much I spend on all the stuff I got for Pearson.  I kind of felt like I went overboard this year on his Easter basket, but I just kept finding fun cheap stuff to fill it up with.  When I sat down and did the math I really didn't spend that much!!  I pick up all of his things here and there starting in January and got most of the stuff at The Dollar Store, Once Upon a Child or the Facebook Garage Sale Group I'm a part of!!   I think he will be super excited to get all of his little Easter goodies.  

I had planned on stuffing all this stuff in his Easter basket, but when I found this metal Tonka Truck in perfect condition on the Garage Sale Site for $2.50, I knew my truck lovin' boy would love all his goodies in this truck.

Not to bad huh? I would much rather spend $27.50 on stuff that Pearson needs and wants than $20 on basket full of candy that will be gone in a week!!

We went ahead and gave Pearson his Easter truck goodies today since we will be at church tomorrow morning and with family all afternoon/evening.

 

It's so funny how the cheapest things are always his favorite......which is exactly why I don't spend a fortune on anything!!  He loved this little chick that hopped around. 

 

He loves "Mee-Mo" (Mickey Mouse)p so I knew he would love this!!

And as I'm typing this, he is driving his dump truck all around the house!!
