A special gift…

The real Santa

Nikolas (to Carter) will you come with me to see Santa?
Carter: Sure
Nikolas: Will you cry? Please don't cry I want to see Santa with you.
Carter: ok, nik
Nikolas: Don't worry (while patting Carter) this Santa is only in a costume like daddy wore for Halloween, the real Santa was at aunt Bevs.

Champagne Taste on a Boones Farm budget!

I was so proud!!! I was able to purchase all items below for only $47. I used coupons, rebates and Jingle Cash and all items where on sale! My goal for 2011 is to cut my shopping bills in half and start a stockpile pantry!

Wish me luck! :-)

Is this for girls?

Carter, dear little Carter, was left alone to nap in my room. I knew it was a bad idea however….. I thought, just maybe he was going to lay down and sleep! HA!

He asked me while holding the mascara “is this for girls?”

LOCKING UP The Nut Bin

Hey fellow bloggers…. Come the first of the year, I’ll be “locking” the nut bin. I have concerns over the safety of blogging and my kids, so I have decided that this is the best way to handle this. I do love blogging, so I you can email me for the password, check your Christmas card or CALL me and I’ll share the password with you!!!

Hope you all understand!!!

Wishing you a PEACEFUL & PROFITABLE 2011!

A early gift

The boys got a early Christmas gift, from Great Papa and Mimi. Frank wanted a gamer chair, I said we can’t have just one the boys will fight over it. So we set out to purchase these chairs on Black Friday. Target had a GREAT deal $30 each reg. $69.99 each.  Well at 4am we got to Target only to find them all gone. :-( However Lisa, Frank’s sister happen to be at another Target and found them. She even stood in line for 40 minutes for us!!! We love Lisa!!!

The boys were so excited to get new gamer chairs and movies, from Great Papa and Mimi!!!

Oh Christmas Tree(s)

This is the tree in the boys room, they decorated it all by themselves. I put the lights on they did the rest!

 

This is usually the sunroom tree, however this year I wanted a tree in my bedroom.

The best picture I could find, lol…. Sorry I’m lazy! This is the living room tree.!
