Deals for the Week

My deals for the week included two free cans of pringles, 2 Johnson's Buddy soaps, two Dawn Dishwasher detergents, and some aloe vera gel. Those were all free. I also got all of this for 30 cents...it includes 20 folders, 6 packs of pencils and 4 hand sanitizers.

I am excited that we finally have a Saturday with no birthday parties. It just seems everyone is having one lately. (we have one Monday night and one next Saturday). I hope to go out to yard sales and take my time and work around the yard and get some misc. things done.

Don't I Look Pretty, Mommy????

Last night after her bath, I sent Jenna in to comb her hair. Jack and I started talking and I assumed she was still in there combing her hair. She comes in very quietly and sits down like she had done absolutely nothing! Jack and I look at her and she had decided to try out some of my makeup!!! Thankfully she didn't try any mascara! I guess it's time to get her some play makeup, although I know Jack hates that idea!! It was pretty funny, especially since she thought she would be sneaky about it and walk in so quietly!!! I sure hope this isn't what I look like when I go out!

Wed, poptarts, hotdogs, tator tot casserole (I found something they like)

Thur: donuts, sandwich, pork chops and corn on the cob

Fri: blueberry pancakes, mixture of things, family fun fest (hot dogs there)

Sat: cereal, sandwich, tacos

Sun, rolls, hot dogs, frozen pizza (I HATE cooking on Sundays)

Mon, French toast, cheese quesadillas, chicken casserole

Tue, bacon, movie day/lunch with friends, sweedish meatballs with rice/noodles

A few things got moved to this week as I had a couple of unexpected things come up last week.

Thoughts

So the muffin thing went well. In answer to Monica's question...no, they did not fight over things. Jacob and Jenna loved everything on it, Joshua is very picky! I had to double up on a couple because I knew Joshua would want more goldfish, and the muffin liner did not hold many oranges, so I made two of those.
Joshua went for his 6 month check up today....good news/bad news....the good news is no cavities once again. Bad news....his mouth is just way to small. Partly because of cleft palate, but mainly because God just made him with a small mouth. He needs two more teeth pulled in October to make room for the others. The dentist thinks that he will have to have 4 permanent teeth pulled just to make them all fit. Poor guy. I feel so bad for him.
Thanks goes out to Jack and mom for watching the kids last night! Mom watched them until Jack could get them. I was able to go out with Kim and Heather (friends from my old church). We had a wonderful time and it was great to see them again. We went to Outback (sorry honey) and then Kim and I went to Target to shop! I needed some time!

Muffin Tin Monday*****Revised

Today for lunch I am making it "muffin tin Monday". I am taking my muffin pan, putting in liners and for lunch I am filling each one with different things. I am going to put in carrots, ranch dressing, oranges, cheese, goldfish, chips, strawberries, and anything else I can find in my pantry. Friday I made smiley face chocolate chip pancakes. The kids liked them, but they didn't turn out as cute as I hoped. *****Here is the picture of the muffin tin Monday. I got the idea off a website, so I can't take credit!!!

Deals for the Week

Here are my 100% free items for the week: I got a pack of kids yogurt, two twelve pack of drinks, makeup removal wipes, two Johnsons buddy soaps, two pantyliner, some more baby wipes, and a package of safety pins (I needed these because I am getting ready for the Kids Exchange sale) Not too bad, but not my best of weeks!!!

Menu Planning Wednesday

I had to go to the grocery store last night. I couldn't wait any longer. After our beach trip, we were out of everything!! Joshua was amazed how much groceries cost me. I think he was a little concerned. It was more than I usually pay, however, I just had one of those weeks where I was out of everything, even the little things!! The kids and I tried this new recipe for frozen chocolate bananas! They were so good!!! Here is our menu for the week.

The Update

I had to run some errands to run and groceries to get an put away, so I never got a chance to post. I met with Jenene today. I won't get into all the details, but if you want to know, I will certainly tell you about them. I certainly know I could do this job. I don't doubt my abilities any more. I am fully capable and would do a great job. A chance like this may never come again, but right now, I do not think it is for me. I just want to stay where I am at. I believe God will still make a way for all 3 of the kids to attend school the following year. Thank you so much for all your support.
