Leesa's Here!!!!!

My favorite daughter, Leesa, and her three kids are here for a two week visit. I'm soooo excited at the idea of noisy kids, no naps, poopy diapers, and pure exhaustion for the next 14 days. Yipee!! They are my favorite grandkids and I will die of happiness if need be! I love it!!!!!

Livia's latest lunch likings

As all parents do, we have been trying to encourage sharing in our family.

Unfortunately, this is not exactly what we had in mind.



I guess she is trying to follow in Aunt Donna's footsteps? Of all of Donna's fabulous qualities, why must she choose this one?

(For the record, she does this daily, and instead of fighting her on it, since she gets so mad, I decided to record it instead. I don't let her actually eat it usually! I had hoped she'd realize how gross it was and get tired of it. She didn't though.)

Checks

Hi
If anyone needs checks let me know. I just bought 4 boxes for 11.oo with a couple of great coupon codes. I know we don't use checks a lot anymore but still need some on hand.

private blogs

OK, so I just made Sam and Livia's blogs private. But I sent each of you an email so that you can view it. I have no clue how that all works, so let me know if it works or not! I'll try to fix it if you can't read it. Thanks!

The Loot!

So this morning I went to Rite Aid and spent 112.00 out of my pocket with tax included. Now I will receive back 142.00 When I request my check at the end of the month. So there fore I made 30.00 this morning which is more than a night at Kohls! Ha-Ha. I got::
2 bottles of nasal spray, 2 boxes of Zucol, 2 packs of kids Chloraseptic, 2 packs of Coldcalm cold and cough, 2 bottles of Little Noses Cold formula, 2 bottles of Little Colds sore throat melt aways, 2 bottles of Blink eye drops, 1 bottle of Little Allergies, 2 bottles of Sambucol Immune booster, 2 chapsticks, 2 packs of Cepacol Fizzlers for sore throats, and 2 boxes of Zantac. It is such a high being a coupon mom!

We're coming to ND!

For those of you who might not know, the kids and I are going to ND to see the family. We are leaving on the 30th of Oct. and going home the 13th of Nov. We will be there for Halloween!! We will also be there for opening weekend of hunting season, so we should see lots of family we would otherwise probably not have seen.
We have been enjoying 70 degree weather, so Bismarck weather will be a bit of a shock! Hopefully Mom will survive with us and the hunting weekend at the same time!

Today was Brynja's doctor appointment with the ENT at Primary Childrens. He said it looks good and is healing nice. Her ear still has a little hole in it but should finish closing up this week. He wants us to bring her back in 6 months for another check and a hearing check. So we will see. Thanks for all the prayers

still lovin' the ponies

I just want mom to know that the PJs she made are still very well loved and worn! Sam would wear them every night if I let him... but sometimes they just need to hit the wash! And crazy enough... Livia still fits into hers, but maybe I'm not surprised since she's such a dinky little thing, and they were huge on her last Christmas. But other than the sleeves being 3/4 sleeves, it still fits her pretty good! Thanks Nana!

Quiet Books

Thanks for the cute cloth books, Nana. We all love them.


We love you!
