Peel off the $2 stickies for the OIL Warmers from the fans and oil warmers for the Night lights and then use the ones in the night lights boxes in your 2nd trip to Target-you could just run to the car open them up and run back in again.

If you wait till they are 90% off you will get PAID a bunch to take them with coupons – But I recommend loading up on other stuff then too. That way the cashier doesn’t see the negative balance. And if they do they will enter the coupons in manually for the 34 cent and 64 cents and 29 cents things will end up being which is GREAT TOO. Another reason to do it is to make $$$ on eBay. People love to buy these things YEAR ROUND. And they pay full price for them. I’ve made a ton in past years! Enjoy the savings, the scents and if need be, the income =).

Seven of Nine

There are 9 people in my immidiate-first family I am #7 which makes me 7 of 9.
And when I put on My bluetooth earpiece I look like a Star Trek Borg named 7 of 9. And especially so now that I have actually dyed my hair light blonde because the spray highlighter made my hair about 20 different shades of blonde.
I must say I feel like a Borg and YOU will be assimilated!!

Zach Looks better!

Nathan told me I should put a picture of these up too. Aren’t they beautiful?? Real diamonds, and pink sapphires in white gold.

We Stayed in our PJS ALL DAY! Even for Dinner with Aunt Kathy who called just as we were getting ready to eat. Then Uncle Cliff called and asked if He and Megan and Benjamin could play for the evening. So Just when we thought NO-One from here was coming we had a fun full house again. Thanks guys!

Today is the day after Christmas. We all have colds now I just want to curl up in bed, but life has to continue so I’ll blog and rest my head on Nathans Shoulder whenever I get a chance. And we will continue to say, “Bless You” from across the room.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Last night we made a few last minute gift-giving runs to some of our friends from Church. Then we quickly cleaned up the family room, sang a couple of Christmas carols, and read Luke 2 before the girls hurried to their beds. We were checking http://www.noradsanta.org occassionally so we knew how much time we had before Santa arrived.

We opened presents this morning while drinking egg nog and listening to Christmas music. We’ll post pictures and more details later, but we wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Keep your hearts warm and stay close to friends and family.

We Hosted a Family Christmas Party last night we were missing a few imortant people(Grandparents and Some brothers) And my whole family). We counted 21 people and a dog! What an adventure!! The kids all got to pull a gift from Santas Sack. Then we played a game where the kids sat on the ground and followed my directions the flipped their gift over turnes it on it’s side rubbed the air over it and tapped it 3 times and magidcally they got to open their gift. There were art kits, wash cloth puppets, dot markers, flarp, tiddley winks etc and the kids had a fun time. After dinner the kids each opened their Family gift exchange present and played with those for the rest of the evening. The adults later opened their gifts. A big thanks to all the gift givers!! We all got some great things. A new sweatshirt for Nathan, a caramel vanilla candle and tanning lotion for me, a colorful jumprope, journal, art stuff and puzzle for Hailey, a Barbie Pegasis flying horse for Sierra, and Zachary got Peek-A-Balls and a toy to drop them in that makes sounds. It was a nice evening. All the close family and even a friend and a dog were there.

You can’t see Noah’s excitement – but it’s there!
