I love Jon & Kate plus 8...

I just can't watch it.

Why?

Because when my kids are asleep

and I'm not dealing with this*:

I certainly don't want to watch it on TV.

Hey Kate- I feel your pain. (Well, 1/2 of it anyways.) ;)

I can't wait 'til she has kids.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua(w/ a side of tacos)*

It's not too often a movie that all four of my girls want to see comes along, so my girls and I are excited to have an official movie date planned for two weeks from now.... Beverly Hills Chihuahua - "Hold on to your tacos!" is already a catch phrase in our home. I don't suppose this is going to curb my teacup chihuahua cravings. At all.

*Title credits: Shaye

I just wish I could describe the tilted head and pistol fingers she shot at me while she said it with a Mexican accent. Oh wait, I just did. {grin}

What to do on a rainy day?

Bake some banana muffins and play on Flickr.

Keeping all of my Texas friends in my prayers this weekend-

STAY SAFE!

Wordless Wednesday: Off to gymnastics...

Halloween costume catalogs GALORE!

I personally feel like I'm behind schedule on this...have you ordered your kids costumes yet? Or are you going to make them? I haven't made a costume since Mackie was a baby and I told Shaye she could pick what Mackenna was going to be for Halloween. She said, "A juice box." A what?!?? A juice box. What the ?!?? That's what I get for letting my 2 year old flat out come up with a costume idea. I managed to fabricate a clever (if I do say so myself) costume out of cardboard and it just slipped right over the baby, who was bundled up in the carriage, so it worked out well, but never again have I made one.

A prize!

I recently won a giveaway at Moody Maria - a blog for the girlie girl in all of us. She sent us all of the goodies above and the girls had a blast making up themselves and each other while I was sick. Mackenna also had a little fun producing her own photo shot of the goodies...

and last but not certainly not least...

$15 FREE DOLLARS!

I got my revolutionmoneyexchange debit card in the mail and it came with an offer of $5 back the first three times I used my card on a purchase of $25. I used it right away for a $25 gift card at CVS and my first free $5.00 was deposited the very next day! So now that's $500 and fifteen dollars you can get for free from revolutionarymoneyexchange. Not to mention the two dollars from me. If you haven't signed up, what are you waiting for? There are no fees to receive money (unlike PayPal), so now more and more merchants on Etsy (in fact, if you've got your eye on that pink silk scarf on my sidebar- she accepts rme- you can get it for free!) are accepting rme. Think of all the holiday shopping you could do with your free $517 !!
