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

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
