Helping Hands

We went to the park after the free movies and I thought I would get some cute pictures, read and have a great experience. Especially because we had Cody's friend D.D. with us today. Well... to start off we ate lunch and as soon as they were done they vanished with of course there trash left behind. I tried to get pictures of Andrew and he just wasn't in the mood so you would think I would take the hint... OH No! I had to proceed with my picture taking schedule. I found a great area to have all the kids put there feet together and try to capture one of those cute feet pictures well the kids were drenched by this time and I didn't factor in the sticking grass or the tempers that would fly because someone wasn't sitting by the person they wanted to sit by. And then of course I had a nice shot of just a few feet and the one throwing the biggest tantrum walks right in front. I put my camera away until I could cool down. We did have a great time the boys went and played tag football (Andrew wanted to play but was too small. You could imagine how that went over) Callie and Andrew made fish out of paper bags. And they all played in the water some more until it was time to go. I decided to pull out the camera one last time to take a group picture. All the memories came flooding back (kids fighting) from the previous tries I quickly put the camera back in my purse and that's where it will stay until tomorrow. We did have a lot of fun and that is what's important.

** I put together a slide show of all the pictures I was able to get. Enjoy lol!

Now this trip to the park seems unheard of from the haywards. I had the haywards pegged as the perfect nonfighting family with all of the happy blogging moments. I guess there has to be one not perfect trip to the park in a summer full of bliss. I know you just rolled your eyes Cindy. But you are pretty spoiled with such good kids.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
