Our usual busy week

Another busy week.....  Christmas is almost here!!  And I have yet to do most of my Christmas shopping, AHHHH.  Yeah that's me getting a little stressed out.  But we do have a babysitter in a week so that we can get it all done.  Thank goodness. 

Last Wednesday I brought the kids to visit Santa.  There was a Santa at Collin's school, but I was afraid he wouldn't be any good (ex. fake beard).  So I packed a big bag full of snacks, drinks, and plenty of things to do while we waited in line at the mall.  Well....  When I got to the mall there was no line!!!  Woo Hoo I was excited.  Well...  There was no line for a reason.  He was really old, the beard was real,  his teeth were nasty and he wasn't extremely friendly.  I didn't hear him say more than 3 words and he never said HO HO HO.  For the past 4 years we have seen the best of the best Santa at the Mall of America in MN and boy was I disappointed with the new one!!  I am going to miss our old Santa very much!!  Collin even asked me on the way home if that had been the Santa that we saw before.  I didn't even know how to answer him.  So hopefully next year we will find a better one or be in MN visiting while the GOOD Santa is in town.  Here are some of the pictures I took.



Addison didn't cry!!


This weekend the hall bathroom should be finished!!!  YAY Collin can now brush his teeth in his bathroom and there will be toothpaste all over that sink instead of ours :)  I will post pictures as soon as it is complete.

So I am totally addicted to this grocery saving website.  I absolutely love it.  So far I have gotten 4 boxes of dog treats, 4 carpet fresh sprays, 4 marinade mixes and 2 scrub brushes for FREE.  Yes I said free.  And I have also saved some money.  It is all about saving all your coupons and using them when items are on sale.  It is amazing how this lady puts it all together, but is works.  And hopefully soon I will cut my grocery bills in half.  Wouldn't that be nice.
