Duck...Duck...Goose Time

Well, its that time again. I am preparing for another consignment sale!!!! My bedroom looks like it should be on that show "Hoarders"!! What a mess!!! Sorting, hanging, pinning, tagging, etc. I usually do really well so its worth the mess and all the work. So this is what I will be doing for the next two weeks!!!

Cookie Time!!!

Abby has testing at school all week so this is a NO HOMEWORK week!! So last night instead of doing math and spelling we were able to do something fun....we made Chocolate Chip Cookies!!! Abby did everything except turn the oven on, put the cookies in the oven, and take them out of the oven. She cracked the egg, stirred the mix, scooped them out, etc. She did a FINE job and they were VERY tasty!!!!!!

Cee Lo Green - Forget You

I love this song right now!!! Makes me sing and dance everytime I hear it and the video is SOOOOOO cute!!!!!

Homemade Wreath

I needed a new wreath for my front door so I started shopping for one. Well, I soon realized to get the one I wanted I was going to have to fork out almost $100!!!! My mother in law is very crafty so she told me she would bring some stuff over and help me make one. So, I went and picked out my flowers. She brought the grapevine wreath and the wire. She showed me how to wire the flowers to the wreath and said "Now make it" LOL. So I sat on the back patio and made my very first wreath!!!!!

It was frustrating at times and could get pretty intense trying to get that wire through the grapevine but all in all I was very pleased with what I ended up with when I was finished!!!!

I think I might have a new hobby because it was very fun to do, I think I will make wreath #2 next week....Stay tuned.....

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!!

May you be in heaven 1/2 hour before the devil knows you're dead.~Irish Saying

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! We put on our green and went down to the Irish Times Pub. We go there every year for Patty's Day to have lunch. School is on Spring Break so both the kids got to go with us this year. We had a good time, ate outside, and it was a very nice lunch!!!!

Coupon 101

On Saturday I went to the 2nd Annual Coupon Fair. It was nice and I learned alot about coupons and was inspired to try to start using coupons! I usually clip them, put them in my purse, and months later toss them because I forgot to use them!!!


This is the loot bag they gave us as we walked in the door of the Fair. I filled it with tons of information and freebies!!


I went to the store today and I purchased a zippered binder, dividers, plastic photo sheets and a Sunday paper. I made my coupon binder and went to town clipping coupons! Here are some photos of my binder.

Family Field Trip!

We took a road trip to Oak Ridge today to see the American Museum of Science and Energy. I hadn't been there since I was in middle school. I thought Abby would love it and she totally did! She could have stayed there all day! Brady enjoyed some of the bright colors and lights. We had a very fun and informative time! A great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon!!!

Of course the kids got souvenirs! Brady got a stuffed microbe of the Common Cold (who would think the common cold would be so cute???!!), and Abby got an anti-gravity bird which is really really neat!!! We got season passes so I cant wait to go back, who knows maybe Abby will come home with a robot next time and Brady can get a stuffed MRSA or Measles Microbe!!! LOL
