Ask me me I was at 11:59 Friday night? And where I want to be again this week?
I have not always been a Twilight fan...I did not even watch the first one until about four months ago. But I have been hooked ever since. This week, I want to start reading the books.
Are you on the Twilight Saga bandwagon?
Even though I have unsuccessfully taken pictures on with my camera on the Manual mode, I am still trying.
Last weekend, Macie stayed with a friend. Zoa and I were outside, playing and snapping away in automatic mode.
Out walks Jeremy...
"Swing me, daddy!"
Have a great Saturday!
Tonight, after doing a bit of shopping, I started to cook dinner to stick in the freezer for next week. I started a pot of water to boil and ran upstairs to grab some spaghetti noodles.
Our stairs are used as part storage closet...our upstairs in this rental house is unfinished. This means that the stairs are full of items I have stockpiled that I use in the kitchen...Ziploc bags, salad dressings...just little random things.
Read: A 'quick trip' down the stairs means stepping over all kinds of things.
Anyways, I get down the stairs to find my kitchen full of smoke.
Ooops.
I turned on the wrong burner and a plastic tub was melting all over my stove. The tub had been there holding snacks because of lack of storage in my cabinets.
AND IT STUNK.
I turned the burner off, grab the plastic, which at this point was started to actually get small sparks in it, thew it in a cardboard box and opened up the windows.
Just so you understand, I sent the girls outside...in 44 degree weather because the fumes were so bad we were coughing.
*cough cough*
As I was cleaning up, I realized how lucky we are. It could have been so much worse. Thank God it is not though.
Moral of the story...slow down and make sure the right burner is on!
And make sure you don't store stuff on your stove!
{It's okay though...you can laugh!}
Sunday: Whole Chicken from the crock pot, Rolls and a Veggie Went out to eat.
Monday: Grilled chicken, a veggie and a salad
Tuesday: Soup and sandwiches
Wednesday: Stuffed Shells and Garlic Bread (Made these on Saturday and stuck them in the freezer.)
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Nacho Night and Mexican Style Rice
Saturday: Homemade Pizza (Going to try Chicken Alfredo Pizza using leftovers from Monday)
Without touching our Christmas fund, I have managed to get a good portion of Christmas shopping started.
My list includes:
MomDad -Mom
DadNiece #1Niece #2Niece #3Nephew #1
Nephew #2
And then the girls...this is the earliest I have started shopping in my life. I have been shopping since about June/July for Christmas and it helps so much. Normally, Jeremy and I would just go to Target and drop way to much cash and be done. No more!
So far...
I got this game for $5.00 at Target!
These two movies costs about $15.00 total...
I ordered two cupcakes sets through Scholastic to accompany the girls' aprons...
I ordered these on Amazon using promotion codes and payed about $20 total...some of which used gift cards from Swagbucks...
Jeremy picked up a dress similar to this right after Halloween for Zoa...$5.00 at Toys 'R' Us!
I have a few other things stashed away but cannot think of them at the moment.
I just want to say it again because I am so excited...I have not even touched our Christmas account!
This weekend, I think I may start wrapping. I am spending the day with one of my best friends who is due is 15 days with her first baby. (Say it with me...AWWEEEE!) She is on bed rest so I am going to go hang out with her all day Saturday. Maybe I can take my camera and learn how to actually operate it manually!
Have a great weekend!
