Happy 4th Birthday Fireball!
We had a blast this weekend, it was very busy and took some hard work but it was well worth it. Friday night and Saturday morning were spent in preparation for our 4 yr olds birthday party. During the week I had worked on getting my kitchen up to par and the living room picked up.
Friday night we finished cleaning the living room, from putting things away and organizing the dvd/movie collection to Daddy O steam cleaning the floors. The carpet looks brand new. Big THANKS to Daddy O for staying up until 2 in the morning cleaning them, which included a run to Wal-Mart at 11:30 for morning carpet cleaning solution, having to stand in line behind two women and there shopping carts full - total of 650 before their coupons then down to 430 - I love that they used coupons, I HATE that they didn't let my HUSBAND go in
front of them even though he only had ONE item!!!!!!!! And HATE Wal-Mart for only having one lane open! He didn't get home until 1 o'clock! Again thank you Daddy O for cleaning our carpets! Oh yes, he also touched up the paint in the kitchen and dining area, all of the spots were about 2 to 3 feet high! Must be our 1 and 3 year old. ; )
Saturday morning came with the thought that with all the people here we may just have need for more than excess to one bathroom. Hence the need for our Master Bedroom to be cleaning ----- yikes! But we did it and it's worth it. Fireball's birthday was GREAT. We had dinosaur plates, cups and napkins (from the dollar tree), a Monster Truck Pinata (9.95 at Wal-Mart) and he wanted a BATMAN cake so we coughed out the 19.96 for that at Wal-Mart too. But we only had one piece left after the party. We had great time, he got a new bike from Grammy and Grandpa (which I told my mom about at WalMart right after Christmas, it was 25 bucks!),
Aunt Becca and Scott got him a helmet with flames for his bike and a pop gun. Sassy sister got him a batman that Fireball and Goodtime both love.
We gave him a Lighting McQueen Tv I got from disneyrewards.com and an Art crayola set and DaddyO picked out Darth Vader's light saber. Aunt Gigi and Uncle Chris got him a Dr. Sues book and giraffe . Grammy Cyndi and Papa Bill gave him some money, he bought his new baseball helmet, and they gave him two pairs of tractor PJs. He got a couple of nerf guns and a remote control jeep from his friends. I think he made out pretty well. We played pin the tail on the donkey, put some of those capsules that turn into sponge animals in water. Oh yes and DaddyO put Monster Jam on Tv from the DVR. They all had a great time.
Sunday we spent time with our kids, took them outside to ride their bikes and then we came inside and watched Star Wars IV, ate crockpot Chicken, potatoes and carrots followed by ice cream.
I woke up this Monday morning and stripped our bed, wash, dried and made the bed- loaded the dish washer, picked up the living room all before 9 am! It was great. The boys woke up at 9:10 I let them sleep today because we stayed up until 9:30 watching the movie. Usually bed time is 8 o clock.
In the midst of all that I still went to Albertsons twice, Kroger and CVS once and Walmart a few times. I stocked up on Spagetti sauce, fruit snacks, canned tomatoes at Albertsons, along with four packages free salsa. Kroger I stocked up on Velvetta for 3.49 a box, Miracle Whip, pizza rolls and 2 Free frenchs mustard. CVS was my indulgence of Starbucks Frappacinos, buy 20 dollars worth get 10 ECBs back.
