Extravaganza Loot

Well, H1N1 did keep us in the house for long. I had promised the girls a couple of weeks ago we would go up to the local Hallmark to the Webkinz Day Extravaganza. I had no idea how generous our local Hallmark was going to be and I today still can't get over how much fun we had.

I told them I wasn't going to buy anything that we were going to go for the fun. I knew before we left that the girls (as if they need them) wanted a Webkinz sea-horse and a blue jay. If they had them I was going to buy them, but I didn't know the cost and really hate to commit to buying something and it end up costing an arm and leg. Well, they had them both and a billion others. After everything they gave us I had no problem spending $7.99 each for a little kinz and if you spent $15 you got a special Extravaganza webkinz for a $1. So, I bought a horse too.

They had a few games and a Wheel of Wow and the girls each got a pack of trading cards (Madison got a free online pet in her deck) and each got two sets of clothes and other little goodies. They gave us at least $40 of free Webkinz goodies. We did a Jellybean Challenge which I doubt we will win but maybe we will. I still can't get over the generosity. The girls said they had the best day EVER! They are so easy to please. I just hope we don't end up with H1N1 and have a few days of the WORST days ever. We used Purell as soon as we left the store and I prayed before we left the house for protection. What more can I do than that?

Amazing the difference in people from FL isn't it? We went to one last year, it was fun (we did not win the jelly bean challenge). Girlfriend... you are going to have to put metal gates around Alex when she gets older-she is beautiful!!! As are the others, she just looks different, older I guess?

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school. I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family. I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep. Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken. I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB! Okay this is my only job on earth. I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep. I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30". He was awake and heard her too. We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep. Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan. He wanted to sneak out our

NaNoWriMo & Supplies

What do you really need for NaNoWriMo? I like using my Mac and Microsoft Word. It is that plain and simple. A computer, text editing program and time will get you 50,000 words. Some people do hand write their novel during NaNoWriMo, or so I hear. I know I will not hand write my novel. Then you have to count all those words. My fingers and hands can't do it. It is painful to type at times but hand writing is more painful to me. Plus, my procrastination side will never count handwritten words. I started to write this blog many hours ago (now yesterday). It also happens to be the weekend and my computer guy (by computer guy I mean my husband) decided to help me find some storage space on my hard drive today. I would love a new Mac Book Pro but that is not in the budget and I really don't have time to learn a new computer days before NaNoWriMo. About a week ago I started to get start up memory warnings on my computer. Not what a girl wants to see two weeks before

Mohawk!

Um, where to start? I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook. Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk. GO RAYS! I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do. I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing. I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend. It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk. The girls still have their lovely locks.
