Weird Sightings in NC
Kelley and I have decided to start posting strange or weird sighting in NC. Some of these are funny but most, we have come to realize, are considered normal here in the south but we find them very strange.
This sign was located between 2 coke fountain drink dispensers. I thought it was a little odd, but apparently in the south you have to be told not to spit.
Brooke pointed this out at Target. I can't believe their management doesn't catch this. If it doesn't make sense to a 6 year old, something's not right.
More to come including a vending machine that dispenses fish and worms?
The South = Awesome!

PRO Black Friday
So, after reading many articles and blogs on Black Friday today, I have decided to take a stand and say that the Stopnik Family is... PRO Black Friday! Here are our reasons...
1) We are a family of 5 living on a one income budget and this "one and only day" of the year has in the past allowed us to buy that video camera that we have always wanted to record our kid's births, birthdays and first Christmas' when we would have not be able to afford it. We got that $800 video camera for $500, a fraction of the cost any other day of the year.
2) I can stock up on clothing items for $.97 each at Children's Place, Carter's, Osh Kosh, Old Navy, etc... for our three rapidly growing (or should I say out growing) kids. I couldn't even make my own clothing for that price.
3) And my final reason is... any place that is not a retail store is empty. So, go out to dinner with your family and enjoy one another.
We are so BLESSED to live in America! That we even disagree on whether or not we should shop for that flat screen television on Black Friday or not makes people in other parts of the world green with envy.
I am all for living within your means; I wish I had a laptop, a wii, an iPod and a nice pair of knee high boots, but I just can't afford it. So, I say to you, shop for what you need or have saved up for on Black Friday. Score some great deals on clothing for next summer, bathing suits, pajamas and winter coats (they out grow them every year) and your kids will thank you for it when you have saved enough extra money so you can go to Disneyland for Christmas! We are so there! I will post pictures! God Bless!
