The Shop-a-thon

Well Black Friday is done! I scooped up some fabulous deals on Thursday. Joe and I went out Friday and had fun. We woke up 2hrs late but we did not really miss out on anything. There wasn't a lot of things that we had to have. This probably completes 80% of my shopping hooray!!!!

Pierce wants a lizard. I found some on craigslist and now just have to decide if I really want to go there. The trips to the store are a pain to buy crickets all the time. Breed our own? I don't know. I have my doubts he will feed one pet let alone the lizard and the crickets.

Gotta run Miranda is making me nuts!!!!

My Little Angel

Why am I up this early? Cause my little Angel has horns. She finally woke me up at 3. I lasted about an hour as she poked prodded and layed on top of me, sideways. Sometimes I guess she is just not tired.

I am a bit concerned about her skin again. We had that bout of Impetigo over the summer. Then a random spot looking the same October. Last night she had something that looked different on her arm. It was bumps that looked like they had a black dot in the middle. She itched them which of course made it look worse. We put on the cream from last time and now it just looks like a scratched area. I am wondering if she has eczema. My kids all have weird bumpy skin so I would not be surprised.

Have a good day everyone!

Black Friday.....

It's almost time! I am so excited to do my annual Black Friday shopping. There was some concern that my work was gonna not give me the day off but they did. I have been searching adds frantically and don't see anything we HAVE to have. Kinda a let down. I will still be out there throwing elbows with everyone else! What is everyone else looking for? I may be able to hunt for you as well? I am hearing the Nerf Vulcan is a big deal this year.

This is the second weekend in a row without any plans. This never happens to me. I was gonna do Cub Scout training but they seriously angered me. We may defect entirely. Kyle likes it though so I am trying to be adult about it. Seriously, 3 months in, I am a treasurer with no idea how much money we have, how much money we need and no bank account. SPLENDID!

Pierce is having his Scoutmaster conference at the McNeely's house today. After this he only has one more step before he moves up a rank! Hooray!

I just fixed Miranda's beautiful blue nail polish so she doesn't look a wreck. I may try to con Joe into painting the hallway. My beautiful princess colored her bedroom walls a lovely red last week and then colored the dining room walls a nice shade of blue a few days back. Pierce needed a beat down and was volunteered to scrub said walls. He did a great job!

I am off to the grocery store.........

The Weekend

Halloween is finally over! We had fun trick or treating in Richmond with Steve and the kids. I let each of the boys pick out 20 pieces of candy to keep and put the rest in a bag to take to work. Of course Miranda dumped that big bag of candy into her princess bag and has been carrying it around all day. I will post pics soon.

Yesterday I spent my day at Scouting University. It was actually pretty cool. My favorite classes were winter camping (You can make snowshoes from PVC pipe) and first aid, we made blood with Cocoa and Glycerine).

Joe took the kids to Scouting for food on Saturday morning. They stuck it out like troopers and passed out 2500 bags as a group. Please, if you are able, donate to this great cause. Next week I will take the boys back out and pick everything up.

Today we are sick. Miranda was just inconsolable this morning. Joe took her to the DR. He has a respiratory infection and she has an earache. I am pretty sure I have something gross as well. Fun stuff.

Monday will be Kyle's 3rd week in Karate. I think he is getting his left from his right. Okay not completely but he is getting better.

Tuesday we have Scouts for both boys.

Wednesday we are going to the annual show for St. Mary's Retreat House. Joe and Rick work there. This year it's a comedy show, a clean comedy show, but still it should be fun. We always have a great time and it's fun to dress up and have a nice night out.

Mom and her Sisters are leaving to go see Aunt Clara, in Wisconsin this coming weekend. Pray for the people on the Amtrack with them. Four Matusiks gets a little rowdy.

I am off to my scout meeting...Enjoy your week everyone.
