Yesterday

Yes! We did have a bathtub party! And for the most part they enjoyed themselves until one of the kids decided to push the other one under the water.
The joy's of parenting!

Yesterday I left the house with Tasha in charge so I could pick Sam up at the Train Station (like everyday). I was gone for 15 min. We came home to Tasha crying hysterically after surveying the front room we noticed the mirror that we got as a wedding gift 14years ago was on the floor.
(this is pretty much the only mirror in our home right now)(no, we don't have one in the bathroom yet). It took us quite some time to get the story after allot of blaming others and stories that don't even pertain to the mirror were said and done. The answer we came up with is that the nail just gave in. (luckily no one was hurt).
But after listening to their stories we found out that the two oldest were fighting and threw a skateboard at a different wall ending in a small hole.
And all this in 15 min.
I could see Sam getting frustrated so I took a picture it looks like he is either annoyed or softening his feelings. The miracles of a camera.


Now I guess this means 7 years bad luck but for who?
our kids?
marriage (it was a wedding gift)?
me?

It is all just STUFF! I'm glad nobody got hurt. Flying skateboards and all! the othe day stiles threw a ball and it broke a light in the light fixture Hunter was right under the light and well lets just say he had A LOT of glass on him. But no cuts and hey it was and accident. It is to bad about that mirror though. I have a great big one you can have but you have to come and get it!

That sounds a lot like my house. At least nobody was hurt. I thought a broken mirror was 7 years good luck. It used to be bad, But in a 7 year study done with children who broke mirrors while the parents were away they found they had more good luck than ever before. So you are in for some great times!

I love your description of the event. It was like I was there. I could see it all perfectly playing out. I always have admired how "patient" Sam is when his kids are explaining. Maybe you call it frustrated, but the picture said a 1000 words. I think Lori is just optomistic I think your in for 7 years of bad luck. lol. After all Tasha is 13It took me until I was 20 to figure out the whole estrogen thing. Good luck. LOL.

Oh dear!!! It does say something about your personality when you can take pictures after a disaster. Larry is usually the one to suggest it when something crazy happens and it calms me down. Glad no one got hurt.

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)
