How about all this?????




16 boxes of cereal including: Life, Quaker Oat Squares, and Captain Crunch.

4 Boxes of Puffs tissues w/ Lotion

6 packs of Chicken Nuggets

All the cereal was on sale for 1.00 a box. Great deal alone but I had 1.00/2 boxes and some .50/1 that my store doubled making the cereal either .50 a box or free.

The tissues were 1.00 a box and I had .25 coupons which my store tripled making them .25 a box

"I" or "Eye"

This morning Wyatt was working on his homework for pre-school so he showed me one of his worksheets and asked me how to do it. The worksheet had several different letters as well as a picture of some caterpillars and flowers. The directions were to "Circle all of the letter I's". So I said "OK Wyatt, circle all of the I's. A few minutes later he came back to show me his work......





I laughed so hard I cried!!!!!!!
Until next time... Kara

Howdy folks:

I had a spare moment so I figured I would sit down and ramble a while. Not too sure yet what I am going to say. First of all the weather here is absolutely fantastic!!!! I have had the windows open all week and my house stays around 73-75. Perfect!! It is so nice to have lovely weather that you can sit outside and enjoy.

This morning I had to work. Poor Wyatt was extra whinny today as he was pretty tired. Not sure if I have mentioned this but Wyatt sleep walks and talks!!! It has actually gotten pretty bad! The first few times it happened it scared me to death as he looked completely awake but was making no since at all. Now I know what he is doing and I just try to get him to go back to bed or if need be play along with what ever he is dreaming because I've noticed if I just play along with his dream he resolves it much quicker and goes back to bed. Poor kid!!!

Also Annie has no longer been sleeping through the night like she was. She has been getting up about 2 times to eat, but she does go right back to sleep. Yesterday she did the CUTEST thing!!! I got out a little cloth doll that was a gift. I said "Annie look.... DOLLY" she looked up at me and then at the doll and she let out the most excited squeal of delight. She giggle and started to breathe really fast like she does whenever she gets excited and she reached for the doll. I gave it to her and she snuggled the doll, then she would hold it back to look at it again, then she would squeal and cuddle the doll again. It was so sweet and adorable! She is 100% girl!!!

So yesterday I did my weekly grocery shopping. When it was all said and done I spent $49 dollars and saved $120 with all my coupons!!!! I made out like a bandit. I sure love coupons and grocery shopping hahaha.

Tomorrow night I have to attend a first aid training class for work. Thankfully a Friend of mine was willing to watch my kidos so i don't have to bring them along so late at night.

Well that's about all from me for now.

Until next time... Kara

I miss my friend!!!

It was a wonderful week! My dear friend Katy was visiting us from Illinois and we had not seen each other for over 4 years. My kids took right to her and we had a fabulous time doing nothing! It really says something when you can not see someone for so many years and pick right up as though seeing them is a daily occurrence.

We watched movies, our favorite TV shows, shared our favorite foods, talked, and just had a great old time. Well she went back home on Thursday morning and I know her family is glad to have her home but I still miss her dearly. My house feels a bit empty too. boo hoo!!!

OK moving on.... I am so excited as I FINALLY got a fantastic patio set that I have had my eye on for a few weeks now. Only I was patient and got a STEAL on it. See in AZ now is the PERFECT time to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful weather. I have my windows open NOW. Wyatt has been enjoying it as well as he has been wanting to sit outside and eat every meal haha. So cute!

My little Miss Annalee has started cereal. She is such a big girl now and oh so cute! She is not much of a fan of the cereals, she prefers Mommy. But she does need her solid foods to keep her fat and happy. She loves to giggle and play with her toys and I am always catching her watching TV!!! Little stinker!!!

Wyatt is back in soccer for the fall and man oh man you should see this kid play! He is un-real

This morning we woke up to find that some very naughty kids went crazy with hot pink spray paint!!! They painted the garbage cans that were out for collection, the sidewalks, and even left some giant pictures of the male anatomy in the middle of the road!!!!! They even spray painted some of the neighbors Halloween decorations and painted some big dots on my poor neighbors work truck! Little Creeps! Honestly where are the parents to not notice that their punk kids are missing in the middle of the night when these kids are doing this! So all the neighbors were outside this morning talking to the Sheriff deputy who came to asses the damage and to take reports, he just so happened to be a friend of ours, anyhow we all decided this means war and we are all going to be on the look out! I am considering making up flyer's and taking them to every house in the neighborhood just to encourage awareness. Rotten kids!

Well I think that is about all from me for tonight. I need to get to bed for Wyatt's game is at 8am tomorrow!!!!

Until next time...

Not too sure about this.....

Hmmmmm.......

Ok so I have been trying to add all my Blogging buddies over at AOL onto this hear Blog Spot as well as to try and make this place look like my new home. I know it is going to take some time though. Then there is the nasty job of transferring 4 years worth of Journal entries onto my hard drive and then burning them onto disks so I can have my records. I have always been someone who for the most part, does well with change so I am not overly upset. However this does come at a very BAD time as I have so much going on right now. Oh well.... all I can do is my best and not fret.

Well I need to get going as my friend is flying in here in a few hours.

I hope I can find you all out there.....

Until next time.....

Kara
