It's puppy day!!! Yay!!!

I was up earlyish this morning, but laid in bed for a while!! Couldn't lay around too long because it was PUPPY DAY!!! So once I got up at about 8AM I grabbed a shower and then dressed! Then we hung around because daddy wasn't calling the seller until like 10AM. So we left shortly before 10AM and went to WalMart to get the puppy a blanket and I got some treats too! Then we headed to Petco to pick up the carrier, a doggie poop thing and some other training treat things. By this time it was 11AM and Gman was complaining for a snack so I just decided to take them to Mickey's for an early lunch. Just as we sat down to eat daddy texted the address and the time we needed to pick the dog up by!!! Woo Hoo!! So we ate and then hit Wal Mart again real quick for water, a collar and a leash and then we were on the road!! We got their shortly after 1PM. 

We were there for probably 30 minutes and then we headed to Altoona and Daddy's store to show him the puppy!!! She was so cute and kind of afraid in the van, she actually jumped up and sat on S's lap! We were at the store for a bit and then we headed home! She rode on the seat between S and CJ the whole way home! Once back in town I got us ice cream and then we went home! The kids were so excited and just wanted to play and play with her!! She wandered around a bit exploring, had a pee accident and then plopped down beside my chair and fell asleep!! Once she was up I took her outside and she peed!! And then the kids played with her for a bit!! Brought her back in and she pooped on the floor!! Ugh!!! Back outside for a bit she went! She played with the boys for a bit and ate some and drank some and then slept a bit more and then she peed on the floor again! This time at least it was the kitchen floor and not the rug!! I put the boys to bed and 9:30PM. The pup is sleeping in the kitchen right in front of the office door and the girls are down stairs watching TV. I'm writing this and waiting for T to come home!! Hope tonight the pup goes easy on us!!!

Girl's Shopping Trip!

Ugh, the first time I've had to wake to an alarm in almost a month!! But it was for a good cause!! It was our Girl's Shopping trip today!! I got up and showered and got dressed and then hung out on the deck till Laura picked me up at about 7:45AM! Then it was off to Grove City, it was kind of a long drive and was made a tad worse since there were 3 of us in the back seat, thank god Heidi and Cindy are both skinny minis!!! We got there at about 9:30AM and we literally walked and shopped till 8PM, only sitting down to eat lunch at about 1PM!! I was exhausted and my feet/legs ached!! The only thing that kept me going was all the texts that were passed back and forth between me and Chrissy and me and T!!! Hahaha!! T was doing all the "work" to get the puppy!! And Chrissy was as anxious as me wondering if we got her!!! Finally at about 10 minutes to 4PM T texted and said "we own a dog"!!! Yay!!! While shopping I finally bought my first Vera Bradley bag and my first Coach bag!! We finally left the outlets at 8PM and headed to the Iron Bridge for dinner! We had to wait about 30 minutes but we spent it at the bar drinking pina colda martinis!! YUMMY!! We finally got done eating and left at about 10PM! We got home LATE!!! It was straight to bed for me I was WHOOPED!!

Super busy!

Well daddy was up and out the door before any of us were even awake so I was flying solo this morning! But thankfully I had pre-packed most of the lunches the night before so I was back in bed before I knew it. The girl's just ate cereal for breakfast! Then the alarm went off at 7:30AM and I gave the boys cereal for breakfast too. They got dressed and then I finished packing up their lunches and back packs! It was so cold this morning and raining and it was terrible! Once the boys were on the bus I headed into town to drop CJ off!! Then it was off for some Easter shopping. I hit the Dollar Tree and got a bunch of stuff, TJ Maxx for an outfit for R and then JoAnn's for some scrap goodies! Then it was off to Wal Mart to get a dress for S and some food for lunches for the rest of the week! Once out of there I ran through Taco Bell's drive thru for "breakfast" and then to CJ's school to spy a bit. I was happy to do this because the kids got to see a real live bunny!! Then CJ and I headed home for lunch! I worked on Gman's hat (It's finished!!) and then everyone came home. Gman was crying and fussy because his right ear is hurting - I think he might have an ear infection - I don't have time for this crap - so I dosed him with advil and am hoping for the best!! Then at 5PM we headed out the door to eat dinner at Mickey's! Then once we were done it was off to EP for the 3rd grade party planning meeting. Which was a bust - there was only 4 people that showed up besides Jenn and I!! Two of them were Chrissy and Laura! Ugh!!! We were done at 7:30PM and it was rush, rush, rush through showers and teeth brushing the next 30 minutes! I got 4 of the kids in bed at 8PM and S went at 9PM. Then I added a few more things to Gman's hat and listened to a bunch of Youtube videos! Now it's 11PM and I'm off to bed!!

Hello, Saturday!

Daddy was up and out the door early today because he had a meeting in LB. I left most of the kids with S while Gman and I went out shopping for Jocelynn's birthday present! We saw Heidi at Dollar Tree and she let us know Ashley (Gman's teacher) was in labor! When dad got home, I took Gman to his party and dropped him off and then headed back home to pick everyone else up, we had lunch at Ponda-gross-a....oh I mean Pondarosa and it freaking SUCKED!!! I think I ate 2 bits of my salad, a dinner roll with fake butter and 12 pieces of banana bread (the only decent thing in the whole place)!!! I vow never to go back there again, ugh, totally should not have let the kids talk me into going!! Then we hit Petco and let the kids look at all the animals and then back to Jocelynn's house to pick Gman up, just as we got there Heidi got the text that Ashley had the baby, a little boy! The rest of the day was spent just lounging around!!!

Sunday Shopping!

I got up and got a menu and grocery list made and then I left the house at about 9:45PM to go shopping. While I was gone the rest of the family cleaned. I hit Aldi's and Wal Mart and then I booked it home so that I could get there before 11:30AM because we were going out to lunch! I got home and we put the cold/frozen stuff away and then we headed out! We quickly decided on Pizza Hut and once we were there we all ordered what we wanted and enjoyed our lunch, even though CJ whined through the whole thing!!! Once we were done we hit Wal Mart again and got a bunch of "stuff" including a new TV stand! Then we hit Michael's because their cubes were on for 40% off and I had a 25% off total purchase coupon - 3 cubes for $50 bucks!! Then it was time to head home! The rest of the afternoon daddy put our TV stand together and moved all that crap around and I sat in my office and put my cubes together! Then we just had left over lunches for dinner! After dinner I finally got around to making the banana bread I've been meaning to make for a week!! Ugh, it was a good thing I finally got it done my bananas were almost too ripe for it!! 

At 7PM we started getting the kids showered and then by 8PM they were ready for bed!! I laid in bed for a while and read, but I was soon pretty tired and I hit the hay by 10PM!

Friday, February 21, 2014

Ugh, 6AM came early!

We got up and got all our usual stuff done and got the girls off to school. Then I headed back to bed and just laid there - I totally couldn't get back to sleep!! My 2nd alarm finally went off at 7:30AM and I was up and getting dressed since I had to leave the house by 8:25AM. I had to be at East Pike by 8:30AM to help paint faces. The boys came with my and I painted Gman's face first! Then from 8:30AM till 10AM I painted faces. I left to come home and then T left for work!! Soon after CJ and I headed out the door. We stopped at Dollar Tree, Michael's and Giant Eagle then it was off the Eat N Park for lunch! 

Once home I worked on my project life a bit and cleaned up my office. Then I made cupcakes (for Dutch's 43rd birthday) and at 4:30PM Laura and Alyssa came and picked up R - she was going to eat dinner with them, go to Battle of the Faculties and then spend the night!!! I put off dinner for the longest time 1. because I didn't want to make it and 2). because I didn't want to leave the house and spend money on it! I ended up making pizza bagels for Little man, S & me and PB&J for CJ and Gman! Then after dinner I went into my room and read. CJ came in and fell asleep at about 7:20PM. T got home from work at about 8PM - he was sick and in pain from a kidney stone. Little man and Gman were watching a movie and I put them to bed at about 8:30PM. Now I just peed and I'm headed to bed myself because I am beat!!!

So tired!!!

Ugh, I so did not want to get out of bed today!!! C ended up in our bed again this morning, thankfully he fell right to sleep and I didn't have to sponge him! Eventually the kids were up and being rowdy and loud and I got out of bed! I ate some leftover pizza for breakfast and then daddy was like "let's head out"! We went to Wal Mart, but left after only a few minutes because there wasn't anything we wanted. Then we headed over to Staples and daddy went in and bought a new computer. Then we hit the mall to eat at Dingbats but it was kind of a disaster! Poor C was just miserable and just got sicker and sicker as we were there. He wouldn't eat and he hardly drank. He wanted yogurt but they didn't serve it so I went into Kmart and all they had was some with fruit on the bottom and he about barfed - then he just whined the whole time - so we just got our bill and left! He came home and got in my bed and went right to sleep. 

Then I headed out the door to Michael's and bought some scrap stuff and also 2 baskets for the bench/coffee table I bought last week and that daddy finally put together yesterday! They match perfectly and fit perfectly!! Once home I putzed around and then at about 5PM, daddy went out and got us Thai food for dinner. Then after dinner I headed to my bedroom to watch The Walking Dead on netflix - I'm almost done with Season 3, but the battery went dead on the fire so I'm charging and sitting here writing this! Now I'm going to hit submit and watch the rest of the show and then hit the hay!!!

Girl's shopping day today!!

I was up early because C is still sick!! Running a fever, coughing and just moaning and aching! I gave him a popsicle and used a cool wet wash cloth on his forehead! I finally got out of bed at about 7AM and got a shower. Then I bummed around till Laura picked me up at like 8:30AM!! Then we picked up Krista and were on our way!!! The weather was terrible and so were the roads, we made it to Grove City Outlets at about 10:30AM and met her sister and then we shopped - all day!!! 
First off I've never seen a chocolate/candy bar machine.
Secondly I had to take this photo for my little munchkin!!
We ate lunch in the food court and continued to shop! I didn't buy much, a few things for the kids and then at the very end of the day we hit Old Navy and there was actually stuff in my size I could buy!! I got myself 4 shirts and some lip gloss because my lips were so chapped and ON FIRE!!! Then I went back and got some shoes for S, R and C. Then we hit one more store, Gap and I found a cute shirt that would fit me so I got that. Then we headed to the car and headed out to eat dinner. We went to a place called Iron Bridge and we had to wait for an hour and fifteen minutes for our table. We had a drink and talked and laughed and finally got to our table. I got smoked ribs, mashed potatoes and cole slaw - it was freaking AWESOME!!! Then after dinner it was time to head home - I got home just after 10PM. I was whooped and my feet and legs were killing me!! I talked with T a bit and then I hit the hay - I was exhausted!!!

Another day to just wake up slowly,

today was a little earlier then a normal Sunday since it seemed like all the boys were up and loud at like 6AM!! Tim and I lazed till about 8:30AM and then he needed to get up and get ready for work!! Boo!! He had to go work in Somerset today because he had to work pizza on Friday and he didn't get down there and his boss is coming there on Monday! So once I was up and functioning I worked on putting the stuff from yesterday's shopping excursion away and working on Little man's valentine's! Then at about noon I decided I didn't want to make lunch so I told the kids to get dressed, I wanted to head out earlier but no one wanted to go with me so this way I didn't give them a choice!! We headed to Eat N Park and the roads were terrible, so slick! We waited like 45 minutes for our food and it was just - blah!! I mean the kids were good and what not but we all just wanted to eat!! Then we headed to Wal Mart and I got some new yoga pants and some new sports bras. I got some groceries for lunched this week! Once we left the weather was even worse and I had a tough time getting out of the parking lot, once we were on the roads it was only like one lane, but at least the lane was semi clear! We made a quick stop at JoAnn's and then headed home! I spent the rest of the afternoon sorting sequins and finishing up those damn valentines! Finally they are done and now all 3 boys are done!! 

At about 7:15PM I was griping at Gman to get in the shower and he was whining and belly aching and just being a crab (like he had been all day - his stomach hurt, his throat hurt, his nose was running, he was coughing, he was sneezing, he didn't eat dinner) and as I was hustling him in there I check him for fever and he was burning up - 101.3 fever!! No wonder he was a crab all day!! So no school for him tomorrow and I'm sure we will be heading to the doctors!! Now Tim got home at 7:30PM and went out to snow blow the driveway, he's in the room now working on some work and I'm gonna hit publish and head that way too!!

Such a happy day today!!

First off we didn't have to wake up to an alarm, then as we were laying in bed I made T get his phone and check the bank account to see if out tax return went in and IT DID!!! So we gave the boys oatmeal, grabbed quick showers and headed out the door to enjoy our day!! First we stop at Mickey's to get the kids a snack and get us food. Then we headed to Greensburg! We hit the mall and as we were walking in S noticed that T's pants had a big rip in them!! Hahahaha!! So after the bathroom break we headed to JC Penny's to get him some new pants! Then we just walked all around the top floor, I got some new tennis shoes, I got some new candles and then we went back to the food court to eat lunch. The 3 boys got Diary Queen and the rest of us got Chinese, it was disgusting!!! I think I ate like 4 bites and throw the rest out! After lunch we headed to the downstairs of the mall. The girls got new shoes and we went into the toy store and Old Navy! Once we were tired of their we left and I went to Michael's and got some scrap goodies and Tim headed to this store he loved called "Cash In Culture" and got some old video games. Then we surprised the kids by taking them to see The Lego Movie! 

It was so so good and we all loved it very much!  The theater was super packed and we ended up sitting almost clear at the top because of the number of seats we needed! The kids enjoyed the kid's popcorn pack and I just had water and some sweet tarts! It was so funny and we can't wait to add it to our collection! Then it was off to JoAnn's and Target and then to try and find somewhere to eat! I wanted Texas Roadhouse so bad but the wait was 45 min to an hour and we just didn't want to wait in there for that long with the boys - well we should have just waited - we spent the next 45 minutes driving around and stopping and asking every where what the wait was and they were all an hour - so we ended up at crappy McDonalds!! Boo!!! So we ate and then piled back in the van for the hour ride home, both little boys fell asleep and slept the whole way!! So we got home and got all 3 boys in bed and it was nice to sit and relax! I did a little online shopping and then I headed to my bed to hit the hay - I was one exhausted girl!!!

GNO!!

So nice to lay around in bed this morning!! I love lazy non rushed days!!! Once we did get up I grabbed a quick shower and we went out to Eat N Park for breakfast! I had banana foster and it was delicious!! Everyone else got the breakfast bar. Then we headed to Wal Mart to get some milk and for Gman to spend his gift card from grandma Jackie. He bought a 3DS game. Then we headed home!! I got out all the stuff to make my veggie pizzas and once that was done I headed to my room to take a little nap, I in fact fell asleep and slept till like 3PM!! 

Hahaha!! It was nice, but I had trouble "waking up"!! So I jumped in the shower and washed up a bit for my girl's night out!!! I dressed and then straightened my hair. Then T took me in town and dropped me off at The Artist Hand! It was such a fun night!! Eating, drinking wine and painting!! 

We were all laughing and joking and being silly! It was awesome!!! We were there from 5:30PM to 8PM. Then T came and picked me up and we headed to Mickey's to get him something to eat then home and put the boys to bed!! Now I'm writing this and once I hit publish I'm headed to bed!!!

Hulk, SMASH!!!

Happy 6th Birthday to my boy Gman!! We woke up this morning and it was a typical morning - got everyone fed and lunched packed and got them out the door!! Once everyone was gone I got to baking Gman's cake!! While it was baking I worked on some of the kid's valentines. Then I went in the kitchen and made some green fondant! It actually turned out great the first time and I was so stoked!! Then as the cake was cooling and the fondant was "setting up" I made homemade butter cream icing! I iced the cake and then got to work in putting the fondant on it!! It took me all morning and to just after lunch to finish this cake but it was so worth it, Gman LOVED it!!! 

Then after I was done and C was fed we headed out to town to pick up balloons for Gman and Chicken noodle soup (since that is what he requested for his birthday dinner) and mint chocolate chip ice cream (so it would match the green and black hulk cake). Then it was home and just hanging out till everyone started coming home! I got the kid's soup warmed up and crusty bread in the oven. After the were done eating daddy came home and brought us Thai food! Then it was time to have cake and ice cream! It was delicious!! Then we all just hung out for the rest of the night and put the kids to bed at about 8PM and then daddy and I climbed in bed!!

Thursday, January 30, 2014

So yada yada yada,

regular Thursday morning! Once I got C dropped off at school I hit Michael's, JoAnn's, Aldi's and Wal Mart to gather my supplies for making Gman's birthday cake and my veggie pizzas I was making for Saturday! Then I got back to C's school at about 10:45AM and snuck up to watch him!! After I picked him up we ran through the carwash, it was such a long line and a long wait! 

Then it was off to McDonald's for out weekly lunch date!! Once we got home I got to work on baking the chocolate chip  muffins for Gman's birthday snack the next day at school! Then once they were cooling I figured out a cool way to put a "hulk" cupcake wrapper on them, so I cut all them out and glued them up and then put them on the muffins!!


He loved them and thought they were the coolest things ever!! Once the kids came home, they brought their report cards (we except Little man, he forgot his) and the kids did do well!! S had all A's and one B. R had all A's. (Little man had all A's too) and Gman had almost all P's with just 2 or 3 M's!! So proud of all my kiddos!!

Daddy's Day Off

Another freezing cold winter day, although today we didn't have a 2 hour delay so it was up at normal time and getting kids fed and lunches packed and out the door!! T and I headed back to bed and tried to catch a few more winks before the 7:30AM alarm went off!! We got up and got C in the tub and I got lunches packed! T got the boys fed. They got themselves dressed and it was out the door for all of us!! Little man and Gman got on the bus and T and I piled in the van to take C to school!! Then we headed to Kmart to look for some winter gloves for the boys and ended up finding some and a new coat for Gman. Then we hit McDonald's for some breakfast! Then Wal Mart, Staples (where we bought a new printer) and then the auto store!! Then it was back to C's school to spy for a bit before it was time to get him. Once school ended we hit McDonald's (again) for our lunch date!! The weather was terrible!! So cold, so windy and it was like light snow showers the whole time!! 

Once back home T went out and shoveled the drive way. Came in and we put up my new shelf. Set up the new printer. Set up the old scanner and then T put a turkey in the oven for dinner!! The kids started coming home and T then started the rest of dinner - mashed potatoes and gravy!! Then after dinner we started some laundry. Got the boys showered and then put to bed! Then we cuddled in our bed and watched CSI. At about 9:30PM we got the call from the school - another 2 hour delay for Friday. Then it was time to turn off the TV and hit the hay!!!

Boring Sunday!

So today was not much more productive then the last couple days!! I did run to Greensburg to Michael's, I got a gift card for Christmas and then I got a 20% off coupon for today only and I was itching all week to go spend it. Got there and I spent over an hour in the store and couldn't really find much I wanted!! I got one more cube (but it's missing the back so I guess I'll have to email the company and wait who know how long for a new one), I got a 6x8 Sn@p album on clearance, I got some wide green glitter tape and I got some tab/bookmark thingies for this years project life. It was kind of a waste of a trip really!! I read some today and we cleaned the basement up today and I worked on a little bit of laundry today. That was it!! Oh I also made granola bars and energy bites for this week's lunches!! Now I'm sitting here waiting for T to finish his Sunday night email so we can go to bed!!!

Sunday, January 05, 2014

Super lazy day!!

I did leave the house to run to get a little bit of food for lunches this week. I also went to JoAnn's to spend my Christmas GC from T, I got an album (red) for my 2014 project life and I got a crop-a-dile corner chomper!! It was $19.99 on Amazon and I got it for like $11 bucks at JoAnn's because it was on sale and I had a 25% off purchase coupon!!! But once I got home daddy was not in a good mood because he found out that someone else in his district got prompted to Regional Manager and it really upset him!!!

I'm still sick!!

Ugh, I woke up today and I am still feeling sick!!! I just have this constant nausea in my stomach!!! I didn't eat any real breakfast, I ate a peanut butter blossom and tried to drink some Sierra mist, but it just tasted gross. The girls and I all grab showers and then everyone got dressed and we headed out the door!! We had a few things to return to Wal Mart and then we let the kids spend their money they got from grandma C/grandpa B and G/G - $20 bucks. C picked up a foam sword and a Batman utility belt. Gman got two "nerf" guns and Little man picked out a new video game. The girls didn't find anything at Wal Mart so I told them we could look at the mall!! By the time we left Wal Mart it was 11AM and we decided to grab an early lunch because we needed to be at the movie theater by 1:30PM. We "argued" for a bit and finally decided on Pizza Hut?KFC buffet!! It was pretty gross - Hahahaha!! Then we piled back in the van and headed home real quick to grab out popcorn bucket and then off to the mall!! We went to Kmart first and man they were busy, the lines were so long that T stayed there while I took the girls (all the kids) to spend their money! R picked Justice and bought a sweater and a cami. Then we headed to Aeropostale for S. She spent forever in there and finally decided on a cami, a sweater, shirt and a purse. Then it was time to hit the movies! It was like $52 bucks for our tickets to Frozen and like $40 on snacks. Totally not worth it but it was fun none the less and we really only do it one time a year - Christmas time. The movie was good and I think all the kids enjoyed it. Then we headed home and got home at about 4PM and started cleaning the basement so we could bring the new toys down. We got rid of a HUGE tub of old toys and brought all the new ones down. Then we came up stairs and I started cleaning my office and daddy got dinner ready. Then after dinner daddy ran all the stuff to Goodwill and I continued cleaning my office. Once I was done and daddy was back we cleaned the kitchen and the living room and straightened up our room. Then it was time for the boys to hit the hay and then daddy and I settled in the living room with him watching Surviorman and me editing Christmas photos! Now he's still watching and I'm writing this and then going to bed because I am whooped!!!

Super Saturday!!

Woo hoo, so happy the weekend is finally here!! Daddy had to be up and out of the house by 8AM since he had a morning meeting at his Indiana store. C and I needed to leave the house a little after 9AM to go to Wal Mart and get a present for B's birthday party that he was going to at 10AM. We picked up a knight themed Imaginext toy and then I stopped at Mickey's and got us both a hash brown and a drink. Then we headed to the library!! It was perfect timing we got there right at 10AM, but I think we were a little early, but that is OK C got to play with B all by himself for a while!!! We were there till noon and the kids decorated helmets and shields. They got blow up swords. They played some games. They played with play dough. We ate pizza, fruit salad and cupcakes. They hit a pinata!! 

Looking for treasure in "dragon guts", C was not impressed!!!



Then we headed home and had a 2nd lunch and then after the girls showered we left!! We hit Big Lots looking for a new recliner. We hit Michael's, JoAnn's and Wal Mart. The kids got milk shakes for a snack and then we headed home to have meatball subs for dinner. Then I ran back out to go to JoAnn's again and to pick up the Turbo movie for the store! Now that kids are watching that in the living room and hubby and I are on our respective computers!!! After I'm done here I am hitting my bed and reading till I fall asleep!!!


Saturday, October 12, 2013

Hooray it's Saturday and payday!!

Hahaha!! Monday is a holiday so when that happens hubby gets paid the Saturday before and it couldn't have come soon enough!! The only bad this is hubby had to work all day today!! BOO!!! But that didn't stop the kids and I, we got up and moving and hit McDonald's for breakfast and then hit the road to Greensburgh!!! 



I hit Michael's first and got some goodies. The we hit the mall!! I got new slip on shoes for G. S and R got some new shirts for Aero. L and C got shirts form Old Navy!!! Then we had a treat of mini peanut butter cookies before we headed out!! 
Silly boys waiting while their sisters are browsing in Clair's!!

We hit JoAnn's next and I got lots of scrap goodies there!! Then it was off to Wal Mart to get costumes for the punks!!! R picked a raccoon. L picked some thing from Star Wars and G picked a vampire (we got C's a while ago - he's Iron Patriot). One last stop at Target - nothing much exciting there!! I did pick up some new cups for the boys. Then it was off to Chik-Fil-A to meet daddy for lunch!! We were early so I let the boys play in the play area for a bit, but we didn't have to wait too long for daddy!! After lunch we headed home and daddy headed to his Indiana store to finish out his day!! The kids wreaked havoc while I hid in my office!! I made crockpot ravioli for dinner and it was delicious!!! Then once daddy got home at 7PM I headed out the door for a little alone time!! I hit Michael's (again) and got even more delicious scrap goodies and then a stop off at Wal Mart (again) to get daddy some snacks!!! Then it was home to watch a movie or maybe read and then hit the hay!!!

I got such a surprise when I woke up this morning!!

T had to get up and leave early for a career fair in Pittsburgh at Robert Morris College, but before he left he made pancakes for the kids breakfast and put them in the microwave for me!!! What a sweetheart!!! That made my morning so easy!!! So the girls warmed up their own breakfast while I got their lunches ready: crescent pizzas, carrots, peaches (grapes for the boys) and oatmeal raisin granola bars!!

Then I didn't go back to bed, but instead cleaned up my inbox and messed around online a bit (uploaded my latest Zoe layout). Then it was time to get the boys going. Once I dropped C off at school I went grocery shopping, first Aldi's and then Wal Mart, spent about $190 bucks total for almost 2 weeks worth of groceries - not too bad!!! Rushed home and put all the cold/frozen stuff away and then I headed out to get C!! I wanted to run to JoAnn's since we were out ( found a fall paper pad to use for my 30 Days of Thanks album I want to do) and then we ended up at TJ Maxx (the didn't have anything I wanted) and then the dollar tree to find C some chalk!! It was already 12:20 by then so we just went to Mickey's!!!

Then it was home to get laundry done and get dinner in the crock pot (sausage and beans over rice). Finally about 2PM I was able to lay in bed and read a bit!! Once everyone was home we had to run out and get S from band practice, we ended up waiting almost 20 minutes later then usually because I wasn't getting her text and she wasn't getting mine!! Ugh so frustrating!!! G made this adorable hat at school today and I thought he just looked awesome in it!! What a cool dude!!!

Came home and got the rice on and then we ate!! Read so more after dinner and then once S was done with the kitchen I made (this) apple bread for lunches tomorrow!!! Got the boys showered and in bed at 8PM. T called at about 8:30PM and he was finally done and on his way home - to bad he has like a 2 hour drive ahead of him!! Once I finish writing this I'm going to head into bed and read until he gets home and then I think we are going to watch Pacific Rim!!! We have been wanting to see it forever!!
