Well last night we went out and purchased all the kid’s back to school clothing. This was a very expensive shopping trip for us. Both kids needed two pairs of sneakers, some t shirts, some sweat shirts, pants and socks and underwear. It’s not so bad when your purchasing for one, but double your purchases for two and this can put a person in the poor house. I don’t know how some parents do it when they have to send four or five kids back to school. I know for us it takes a little dent out of the budget each year so I can just imagine what it’s like for these parents. But at least that part is all done and now all we have to concentrate on is purchasing the rest of their supplies.

Yesterday in the mail my husband received what we thought was his pay stub. But since he already received it last week we were a little curious as to why they would send another one. Well you can imagine our surprise when he opened it up to discover that it wasn’t a pay stub, but a stub telling him that he received a bonus in his bank account. The reason why we were so surprised was because he already got a bonus in March so we were not expecting another one this year. So he checked his bank account and sure enough the money was in there. It’s a good thing too. Because we still have quite a bit back to school shopping to do. So this money will come in very handy.

Today and tomorrow I will finish creating the last pieces of my jewelry. I have a friend who is attending a craft fair next weekend and she has offered to to take all of my jewelry and try to sell it for me. The craft fair that she is going to is quite far away from here so this is why I am not attending in person. Hopefully she will be able to sell a lot of my stock, but if not that’s OK too as I have already booked a couple of tables myself at a few different craft fairs. So wish me and her luck and I’ll be sure to let you all know how this sale works out.

My youngest son is so funny. He just turned 8, but looks to be around the age of 6. But what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in imagination, energy and yes, even competitiveness. The other night my brother in law took the kids to the movies. At this particular movie theater there is an arcade as well. Well my husband and I were bored so we decided to surprise the kids and show up at the movies as well. When my son seen his father he challenged him to a game of air hockey. Well I never laughed so hard as I did that night. Some of the things that were coming out of his mouth were extremely priceless.
First of all he told his father to “get his game on”. Then after he scored a couple of times on his father he then started shouting “Your going down old man”. It’s a good thing his father has a really good sense of humor or this game could have turned ugly.
And who won you asked?? My son of course!

Having one child turn 10 tomorrow and one turning 8 on Monday has it’s advantages as well as it’s disadvantages. The advantages would be we only have to have one party for both and only have to spring for one cake. But the major disadvantage is is that we have to purchase two presents at the same time. Like today my husband went out and purchased them both a DS. It’s a good thing they were on sale, but it was still quite pricey. Oh well, birthdays only come once a year so I guess I don’t mind shelling out the money for both presents at the same time.
