How Did That Happen?

So Saturday morning we threw the kiddos in the car and headed out to go garage sale-ing. About 4 hours later we came home with this. Hello, 50" plasma.

Let me explain. While out we also planned to stop and look at a tree we're growing attached to and considering purchasing. On a whim as we passed Best Buy (en route to see the tree), Aaron asked if I wanted to stop and look at laptops (we've talked about buying one of those too - and no, we're not made of money,we just have things wearing out at the same time). I agreed, and as we pulled into the parking lot, I saw a clearance sign at another store. Best Buy became Home Goods, Target, then Best Buy, since they were all neatly lined up for us.

At Home Goods we struck out. Target provided a few unimportant things that we were planning to purchase, but then Aaron entered the electronics section. I was in the baby aisle (go figure, right?) and came to find him deep in conversation with a very nice late teen-ish Target employee. I did my best to keep Sydney occupied in the worst section of the store with the most possible breakable items while Aaron learned all he never needed to know about plasmas and lcds and all sorts of other things.

To make a long story slightly shorter, it was a screaming deal. I mean really. We got a clearanced tv, floor model (which gives you 30% off apparently), plus another 10% for opening a Target credit card. We tried to get Best Buy to match it and they couldn't even come close. Of course, since this was our previous setup:

We then had to find a new tv stand. Sydney was uber helpful through the whole process and stayed really close by.
After we got everything put together and all the tools and small parts removed, both girls decided to sit on the couch, out of the way.
This is my only picture of it in it's completed positiong all put together.

I'm still not completely sure how this happened, but we're glad to have it!
