I Am So Excited!


Hubby and I decided to go to wal-mart after breakfast this morning. I needed to get batteries. I found really cute hannah montanna bra/panty sets for the girls marked down to $3.50, so I got one for each of the girls for Christmas. We got to the register, and they rang up for $3.00! Yay! But no batteries. So wehaed to Dollar General, and find glow things for 90%off. Yup, I got all those for $.10 each, and they are PERFECT for our upcoming Halloween party! I bought every one they had. We spent less than $2.50, and walked out with 17 necklaces, and 7 packs of bracelets, which have 2 each, so 14 bracelets. Not too bad if i do say so myself!

I need to invest in rechargable batteries, I just go through those AA's so quickly in my camera. Oh, and great finds - I love glow sticks and basically all things Halloween are very cool! :)

I love shopping trips like these!! :) wow! that is great. in our local wally world they had HM stationary sets marked down to only $5.00 not sure if they would have them in your store or not, or if your girls would be interested in that sort of thing... i know my kids love to draw, write and color all the time. :) I didn't get them for the girls b/c we got them something similar in toys r us for their bday!! :)

The glow sticks for .10 each is awesome!! they will be totally perfect for the halloween/bday party!! wow!! :)


as for your questions... sorry I didn't get back to you...

we did get our chances a lot higher for twins with the fertility meds, but bryan also has twins on his side of the family... although I truly believe it was the meds.

And for the colors of the kids rooms, Trevor favorite color is GREEN... and black... but mostly GREEN... so I want to do his room mostly green with a 3 in white stripe around it and a 13 -14 in blue stripe above the white... to break it up some... we'll see how it comes out and works out. I want to do a good job and something that can work for a few years b/c I don't want to be repainting it any time soon. AND for the girls' room we are going to let them each pick a color from a few choices I give them... pastel colors and then split the room right in half from left & right and paint one half Brooke's color and the other half Lauren's color... I wanted to do top and bottom of the walls with chair rail but Bryan & my Mom think it is more orginal and more "their own" if we split in half the other way. Doesn't matter much to me... I just want it to look nice and for them to LOVE it. :) I thought I would try to add one color that went with both to make a border or something like I plan on doing in T's room, but I'm not sure yet... their colors will be pale... pink, purple, yellow those kinds of colors.... so we'll see. :)

going to clean up some before Bryan gets home... ttys.

That is the deal of the century on those glow sticks! Wish I could stumble on a deal like that.

Hope you are having a fabulous Friday.
