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?

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
