Staying at home is boring



Yesterday I took the kids (mine and 3 friends of ours the Dezorts) to the free movies to distract the kids for a few hours (tried to keep the packing chaos down from the playing chaos). We got home from the movies fed them lunch and then I hear little whimpers of boredom I was busy packing, ironing and laundry. I sent them outback to stretch there legs. As I was busily about I noticed a fire engine pull up to a neighboring home (puddle quacks? daycare) I became that nosey neighbor and proceeded to STARE at the commotion. O.K. so there wasn't really any commotion my neighbors had asked the fire department to come over and give the kids a demonstration and answer questions. As they were pulling out the water hose I had all the kids in the front Yard STARING at these poor folks. They were gracious enough to invite us over and talk with us as well. The kids had a grand time listening to the Fire Fighters I must say I too had a lot of fun looki... I mean listening as well. They showed alot of there compartments and what they need to fight fires. They also asked them what they need to do when there's a fire. The funny thing was that Before they drove up I was ironing clothes and while we were out participating in the festivities I forgot all about the iron. luckily if anything was to happen they would have been right there.

And for staying home being boring it all depends on who stops,drops and rolls on by.

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)
