Get your entries in!! The last day for Charm Factory Giveaway is today!!

Have a great weekend and good luck ;)

Birthdays and a Band

Both of my boys birthdays fall in the month of October. So, today we celebrated with family. Abbi and I made the cake last nite before going to bed. Shane, who is going to be 6 on Monday, asked for a Halloween cake. He had us running all over town looking for Halloween sprinkles. Ya think this time of year that would be easy to find??

Abbi making orange frosting

to pipe the names on the cake.

Our fininshed "Halloween Cake" with flying ghosts and Halloween sprinkles
and spooky writing.

Shane enjoying his birthday cake and ice cream.

Cullen enjoying his 1 yr old cake with his hands. He didn't do to much damage. I have seen worse!!

My friend down the street hired our local high school marching band to play. It was the big game day here, Michigan vs Michigan State!! So they played the respective schools fight songs. It was fun and the kids loved it. Brady kept clapping. Don't ask me who won the game??

It was a beautiful day and fun with family. I hope everyone had a happy and blessed weekend.

Chris Tomlin - Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Song helped me through a tough week. As I was jogging on the treadmill, and my foot was killing me and just thinking I was nothing much at my lowest point. This song came on my Ipod. As I struggled to hold back the tears, I finished my run. Praise God.

Too Much Fun for a Thursday!!

Yes, it is Thursday and I went out for the evening. After working all day and having a totally bad week...I needed it!!

Usually, Pay Day Thursday is Couponing Thursday with my friend, Lianne. Well, coupons got put aside (kinda) and we headed out to dinner.

It was a long day, that looked like this:

Worked 7-3:30

Picked up Abbi from Girl Scouts at 4:15 to get to swim at 5:15

Lianne picks us up at 5:00 for our girls to go to swim lessons

Lianne and I run while girls swim

Sidenote: We are on 7th week, 3 rd day of Couch to 5K !! Whoo Hoo to us!! It is beating our butt. We ran for 25 minutes with just a few stops here and there.

Then leave the YMCA, drop us at home, kiss kids, take a shower and wait for Lianne to pick me up.

Lianne picks me up at 7 ish and we have a good dinner at Applebee's and laugh, laugh, laugh (I so needed that, dealing with some depression issues).

Then hit the Kroger for the Mega Sale. And I hit it hard!! I spent $47 and this is what I got:

10 boxes of Capri Sun Water $1.49

Ritz Crackers x 2 $1.50 with coupon

Duncan Hines Cake MIx x 2 $1 each

Sausage Gravy Mix x 4 $2

Teddy Grahams x 2 $2

Eggos x 4 $1.49 each

2 L Coke products .79 cents each

10 Lunchables $1 each

Vit D Milk $1.99

Not bad, for just a drive-by.

Some good deals!!

Some good deals I found this week:

Bottles of Shout for .24 cents each at Target.



CVS ended up paying me $5.50 for this shopping spree. A dracula cape, a package of candy corn, 2 Revlon nail enamel, Halloween deocration, contact lense solution.

Pretty good, I think?? Anybody else had a good deal, let me know.
God Bless,
Shelley
