Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday Pictures...
These were taken after church. We normally do these before church but Daddy had to meet us at church due to just getting off work. He arrived at Grandma J's house before us and changed clothes. He was dressed to the nines for church. :)

Children's Museum

Here are a few more pics from the Children's Museum we visited in SC....

This boy was huge. You could walk up the back of him and see what a human body looks like on the inside. There was a slide that started in his head, you slid through his stomach and came out his leg. I though is was kind of gross and the girls were terrified of him when we walked up the back side. I did manage to get two of them to stand with Aunt J for a pic but R would not go near him! LOL

Snow village...

Playhouse....

A real Fireman's pole! I can't tell you how many times they slid down that thing.

Sisterly Love

Lately J has been dealing with some "Scared At Night" issues. Last night she woke up about 1 am with a bad dream. Now, I'm sympathetic to her because I had awful nightmares as a child. So, I went to her a laid down with her for a few minutes. Once she was calm I left. A few minutes later she started crying again so I went to her and reassured her that all was safe. I told her to go back to sleep. Not 5 minutes later I heard talking in their room. This is what I heard...

J said, "R wake up! I need to tell you something!" "R wake up I need to tell you something!"
R said, "WHAT!!!!" J said, "I'm scared I need to sleep with you."

Silence....

After about 30 minutes my curiosity got the better of me so I went to see if they were sleeping together. When I got to their room they each were in their own beds.

This morning I asked them what happened. Did R remember J asking to sleep with her. This is what R told me.

"Mommy, J was scared so she just needed me to hold her hand till she fell asleep. So, I held her hand and when she was sleeping I let it go."

Now, is that just the sweetest thing! Some days those girls can fight like cats and dogs but when they love each other....they really love!

Update Post on Trip to SC

Back in January we took a trip to visit the Hubby's sister and family. It was the baby's first birthday. While on our visit we took a trip to visit the local Children's Museum. The girls had a blast. Enjoy the pic's of Baby R and the girls.

Can We Go Swimming???

Bought the girls new swimsuits at Sams! Great deal and they are so modest which is super important this day in time! Now, can someone please open up their pool they need to swim! Thankfully the hotel we are staying at in Tenn. next month has an indoor pool so they can try them out.

Happy Red Dye I mean Valentines Day!!!!!!

The girls loved their balloons and cards for Valentines Day but you would never know by the look on R's face. Can you tell she is not a morning person! They then headed off to school for a Valentines party in which they brought home tons of junk!The hubby took me shopping after the girls went to school. He took me to my favorite Vera store and let me choose a new purse and matching wallet! Mega Points for Him!!!! Then when I got home from school last night he had roses on the table with a love letter!!!! I know!!! What a guy. Needless to say the girls in this house had a great Valentines!

Here is a picture of the candy that my girls brought home from school. I mean Holy Cow!!! Can I just say that 100% of this had a peanut warning on the label so I had to throw it out! N is allergic and we don't allow anything with peanuts/or a warning may contain peanuts in our house! First, I just have to ask what makes parents of 4 year olds think you want your kid to bring home a boat load of candy??? Is that what they want their kid to do??? Have they not heard of the nasty affect of RED DYE???? Not to mention the peanut allergy!!! I was nice in my treat bags were a pencil, eraser, stickers, whack a balloon and 1 small piece of non-peanut allergy candy! Some of the treat bags had 10 pieces of candy!!!!! 10 x 3=30! That was just from one kid at school!!!! Ok, I'll let the whole candy thing go for now. I'm bracing my self for the Easter party. :)

I got creative for the Grandmas and Aunt. I made these flower arrangements and thought they turned out quite nice. They loved them of course it may have just been the fact that the kids came to their schools to deliver them in person. ;)

I hope you all had a really special Valentines Day and don't forget about the one who loves you the most!

Bargain Queen!!!!!

Ask my mom, sister, mom in law or my hubby and they will all tell you that if you want the best deal on what you have to buy I can find it for you!!!!! I'm the Bargain Queen!!!!

The Hubby and I went on a date last weekend. I have wanted a freezer for the past few years and now that we have room in the house we went to buy one. Now, the deal on the freezer was good. It was on sale for $472 and we also got free delivery and set up. Now here is the deal part. We live at least a 45 minute drive from the store. I just would not make my mind up about buying the freezer because it was on sale and that knocked it below the free delivery price. I wanted free delivery. So because I would not make the sale finial the sales lady asked her manager and he said she could give us the delivery of $.01!!! Yea, I said sold!!!! Then when she put in our address we were out of the free delivery area and it was going to cost $90 to have it delivered! She was like...."I had no idea you did not live in town!" I said, "You did not ask!" :) Well, the manager made her give it to us for $.01 anyway because she had already offered the deal! So, here is a sneak peek at my new freezer she will be here tomorrow......


Now, for my second deal of the night. I have wanted to get the girls MP3 players since before Christmas. I just refused to pay $40 -$70 a piece for them! That is just too much money. So, I have been pricing them online for months and just have not found a really good deal until our date night last week. While in BB I said to the hubby lets just go and see if they have any good deals. Well boy did I luck out!!!! I found these on sale for $14.99 each!!!!! And there were 3 of them!!!!!!

I was so excited! Do you have any idea what the price of these cute little MP3 players are online at BB???? Well, I do! Right now they are on sale for $39.99 marked down from $49.99! I found mine in the store on clearance from $49.99 marked down to $14.99! YEA!!!!!!

All I can say is perseverance pays off! If you really want a deal just keep looking you will find it!

By the way.... don't tell the girls. These are for their Birthday in May. ;)
