This Little Piggy Goes to Market...

Ah, the weekly pilgrimage to WallyMart.
Got out of there with only spending 300 smack'roles!
Much better then last week!
Why is it all the kids seem to need shoes at the same time?
I found 2 pair on sale for Ann and Joe. Aaron and Ammon will have to wait a week.

It is such a zoo there! There were fewer people there today because of all the icy rain, I think.

I wish that I had the time and $$ to go look for some good deals at Target (pronounced Tar-jay). I have a lot of Christmas presents for this Christmas. Beth and Donny, and Marie already done and a lot of gifts for the boys and a few family games. I also have Joe, Ammon, and Isaac BDay gifts.

About a month ago I got a great deal on sheets. 1000 count set for just 15$ I only got one and I am now kicking myself for not getting more!!! Oh well.

Came home from the store to find the floor of the family room littered with bowls. Took me a while to figure out that the boys had to put them down 'cause the roof was leaking again. At least it isn't the leak in the basement.

Is it Spring yet?

The ice storms are not over. More to come tonight - Sunday. Flooding expected too.(Speaking of flooding...we discovered a leak in our hot water pipes in the basement...2 inches of water on the floor. No wonder why we had been going through our heating oil so fast! JD was able to fix it and still make it to the airport!)

You can see in the video of Danny that most of our snow is gone...thanks to all the rain/sleet/hail.
Oh, March you rascal, you.
In like a lion for sure...but will you go out like a lamb?
That is the question.

This morning I woke to the sound of a song bird!
Hopefully this is a sign of spring springing!
And not some sick taunting trick by Mother Nature.
I like spring.
Bright new greens, pinks, purples, and yellows!
Buds on the trees...no more naked branches!
And the birdies...singing and building nests.
Kids playing outside...bikes, scooters, balls, sidewalks covered with masterpieces in chalk.
Easter and also my birthday.
I like spring...not as well as fall but it is good!

Yesterday morning I woke to the sounds of Jacob screaming
that Megan had kicked him.
(Not as pleasant as a song bird!)
Meg said she was 'just tapping' him with her foot
because her 'hands were full'. He just wouldn't stop whistling!
The nerve!

No fights this morning.
Kids will be home in an hour...I'm sure they'll make up for it!
LOL. Seth is planning to sleep over with a friend and be gone
all weekend. (The bishop's boy) So that will be one less fighter
for the mele. Megan might also be at a sleepover so there will
be no 'tapping' either!

Have a Great day...enjoy your weather, whether you like it...or not.
It's all you've got.

Another One Rides the Bus

Danny does the cutest thing when he gets on his bus.
Every day he walks out straight, stops, turns back and waves, gives the 'I love You'
sign, finishes crossing the street then turns on a dime and
up on the bus.

The only time he's done it different was when he was mad at
me for making him wear a coat and then he didn't wave or
give the 'I Love You' sign. LOL.

Lori made this movie.
Enjoy

Camera Found!

I found my video/photo camera the other day...or I should say that Seth found where he hid it. I have been trying to figure out how to get better resolution from my photos and JD discovered that the photo part of the camera stinks and doesn't take good quality pictures. They are so grainy...so I want another that takes better pictures.

But in the mean time...I'll be using this one.
