where have we been?

Last weekend Fawcett's Chior was asked to sing at the...
Pule 'anga 'o Tonga
11th annual Asia Pacific New Year Celebration
they sang two songs one being the National Anthem.


After they were done singing we decided to walk around the different booths.
This sweet lady was writing the kids names.




We stopped at the stampin up booth and they helped us make cute tags.
They assured me that anyone could do it and not to worry about messing them up.
They were right!!
Soo Easy!!


Tasha was helping Brandon with origami.


We also tried our hand at writing different languages.
I have no idea what he wrote.
(this was only part of a phrase)

This sweet Lady saw Brandon struggling and asked if she could help him.


And the last thing we did before leaving is make these cute lanterns .

We had a ton of fun!
and to think if it wasn't for Cody we wouldn't have had this Cultural Experience.

Hi Cindy,

It's emily from Craving a good deal, I just read your comment about the Colgate toothpaste and wanted to respond! This is my first time encountering a deal that went bad, so I'm not sure myself. A girl from another blog, said, not to worry about it because we didn't know/or do it on purpose and to just watch more carefully next time/and that we give Walgreens so much of our business so it all comes out even in the end- but I'm not sure. I think it's a personal decision. I've already given a ton of it away to friends trying to build their year supply, so I think I'm going to let this one pass & watch better next time. It's completely up to you, do what feels right. I hope that helped!

(I noticed you live in Tacoma, I grew up in Federal Way & my Mom works in Tacoma, small world!) Take Care! Emily

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 ...

Brandon Mull

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)
