The other day I posted on my journey that hubby had a $50 bonus on his check friday. You can read the details here. Anyway, when he got home last night, he was asking ryan what he wanted for christmas.
I have mentioned that I have been picking things up here and there for the girls, but have yet to buy ryan anything. Over the weekend, I got brandi 3 dresses, for $3 each, kasi a bathing suit for $3 and 4 shirts for $1 each. I know, I'm good.
Wait, where was I going with this? Oh yeah...
So hubby is asking ryan if he wants tools or maybe things fron home depot. Ryan loves his tools, and is always wanting more, so I was a little surprised when he said no, he wanted other things, like batteries for his RC's, and a new rocket launcher (his broke in the move, so we will replace it for him, not santa), and a chest for his room. Yes, he wants a cedar chest to put at the foot of his bed, that locks. At almost 13, I'm not too sure I want to know what he's going to be hiding in there! :)
Anyway, hubby says we need to go outside and talk. He tells me that his store won a contest for going over 60 days with no accidents. All the employees were entered into a drawing, and a name was picked to win a prize. Yup, hubby's name was picked! He is pretty sure he won a gift card to the store. He's also pretty sure it is for a good amount of money. (I'll post the exact when I know for sure! Okay, he thinks it's for $200!) This will certainly come in handy, what with Christmas right around the corner. He went online last night to homedepot.com, and they have a good variety o stuff that is not available in stores. He found video games and accessories for PS2. That would be perfect fo ryan! I wish we could afford a wii, because I want one of those so bad! Yes, I said I want one. The kids do, too, but I really want it!
I got the kiddos off to school, which seems like a waste to me, since they are off tomorrow. They should have just let them have a 4 day weekend. But I need to get things going this morning, so that means I need to get up from here. Enjoy your monday!
