Seriously, am I not a total sucker for anything remotely matching?? But they are sooooo stinking cute!!! "Cold" weather has arrived here in South Texas and the kids needed some cold weather gear. My huge-headed kids needed big sizes of hats to fit those huge noggins. Tomorrow there is a chance of "snow." We'll see if that really happens???
What else? Have I told all of you Moms out there my little secret about BabiesRUs??? On most occasions, I cannot stand BRU. It is always crowded, they never have the merchandise in stock, it is too expensive, yada, yada BUT when it comes to diapers, BRU cannot be beat. It doesn't matter how many you have, BRU will accept as many coupons for diapers as you have. I bought a box of 160 Huggies diapers for $40.99 but with my $14.50 I had in coupons, the box only cost me $26.98 (with tax). Isn't that awesome? It also works for Pampers. People ask where do I get my coupons. Everywhere....in the newspaper, online at Huggies.com and pampers.com, couponmom.com. I collect them and my collects them for me too. I have read on some other blogs (especially for moms of multiples) that they will get several people collecting coupons for them and they will have enough coupons to walk out of BRU with a "free" box of diapers. I have not accomplished that yet but I am working on it.
What else? Jillian is cracking me up lately. She just says the funniest thing. She told me the other day that she wanted a little sister like Aidan. Puzzled, I said well, Aidan is a boy like Rocco so he would be her little brother. She said, I know Mommy but I want a little sister like Allison. We went around the conversation again about boys = brothers, girls = sister but it did not sink in and I am still not sure what she was meaning but she was very emphatic about it.
She told Bryan the other day that she was "frustrated" that Rocco kept bothering her in the playroom.
She gets very upset at Dorothy in the W of Oz when the spanks the Lion's nose (when he is coming after Toto). She says Mommy we do not hit anybody!! Dorothy needs to go to time-out!
Then she says on the way to the zoo, Mommy member when you were in the hospital and Rocco was born? I said yes I remember. She said, didn't I look pretty in the lollipop shirt I wore to the hospital? What?? Think, ashley, think.....by jove, she did wear a lollipop shirt to the hospital. How does she remember that almost a year later???
What else? Did I tell ya'll I went shopping on Black Friday??? Gosh I love it!! We got the best deals. Bryan watched the kids for me and I went with my Mom, Dad and sister and we shopped till we dropped. Actually, we didn't drop because Bryan called at about 11:00 saying Rocco was screaming bloody-murder but we had already done a lot of damage by then. My theme this Christmas is tricycles. Actually, I think I am going to give them for their birthdays but you get the idea...And I got a great deal on both.......
Jillian's was regularly $69.99 that I got on sale for $39.99 and Rocco's was regularly $99.99 and I got it for $69.99. That is a $30 savings on both trikes. Isn't that great????
Now for countdowns....You know I love a great countdown (and I never count today). 1 day until the weekend. 11 more days of school until our break. 22 more days until Christmas. 29 days until Bryan's birthday and the start of 2010. 30 days until my sister's wedding. 34 days until Jillian's 3rd birthday. 43 days until Rocco's 1st birthday party.
Geeez!!! Do you understand how busy I am going to be in the next month and a half?????
