Sorry, for not posting lately. We have been very busy the last couple of days running to graduations and softball.
I will also be away for the rest of the week as we are going away to PA. My husband has been laid off for the week so we thought we would take a run to his brothers house in PA. My niece will also be graduating this weekend so it has fallen at a good time. If there is ever a good time to be laid off.

A heads up on coupons, Cellfire has updated their coupons as well as Coupons.com and Kraft Foods. I hope you get some great deals while I am gone! I will have a limited shopping area where I am going :-(
See you on Monday!!

Tonight we had a double header due to the fact that Tuesday's game got rained out. We lost this makes three losses. Not a great start! Tonight Morgan got to play second, center field, catch and pitch. I only have pics of her playing second and up to bat. It got very cold fast so I sat in the van for the second game. Her are a couple cute pics from the game.

This is the result of her second class! Of course I think she did wonderful!! The best part is we get dessert every Tuesday...but that will end after next week :-(
BTW - She did not smooth out the icing on purpose, don't ask why she just didn't want to make it smooth.

Morgan has been making cakes for 4-H for the past 5 years now. Finally this year we decided to have her take a class. The class was half price so we only had to pay $17.50. Here is the cake she made last night. She said the 14 & the M were there because she had icing to use up. Unfortunately now we have to eat it...lol!
I think she did a great job! She must get it from her father.

So it's that time of year again...and as usual I am always so excited to see the kids get started on their projects. Then about a week before projects are due I am wondering why I let them take on so much!

Well, this year I did get Morgan to take one less project so she will only be doing seven. That means less posters...which is great, but I did buy the posters at Walgreens already anticipating her taking three projects that required posters.

Spencer, WILL NOT be sewing this year. Even though he keeps trying to find patterns that would be, in his words, "so much easier than last year". Well after last year, yes anything would be easier. He will be taking microwave cooking and floriculture. I hope the floriculture is as easy as it sounds. I will be looking around Ft. Wayne to see if there is any place that offers flower arranging classes, I think that will help tremendously.

Here is one of the patterns Morgan picked out. She will also have to find a pattern for some Capri's. We found the fabric at Joann's for only $4/yd, and we only needed 2 yds. (heads up next week Joann's clearance fabric will be 1/2 off!!)

This is fabric we picked up for $4.50/yrd that she will use the same pattern to make another top. I took two pictures of the fabric. One is the right side and the other is the wrong side. Morgan wants to do the majority of the shirt with the wrong side out and then do the yoke of the shirt (not sure if you can see it in this picture) with the right side. I think to make this shirt a little more difficult we will be adding piping around the yoke. It will actually help it look more professional as well.

So today I had to take my brother to the doctor in Ft.Wayne. Not exactly my fun part of the day, for those of you who know me know that I really enjoy my sleep (unless I am shopping) and I had to be up at 6:00am to get him there on time. However, I am a softy for my family and especially my big brother. After his appointment he decided while we were in Ft. Wayne we could do some other things as well, such as going to the RV and Camping Show. Well, the show did not start until Noon so we had time to kill. So we went to the mall and looked around Borders. If you have a Borders nearby you should stop in they had a lot of Winter items marked at $2. Some of it was Christmas, but a lot of the books were miscellaneous odds and ends really.
After the mall we headed over to The Olive Garden and met my hubby for lunch, I had the Soup & Salad and chose the Gnocchi Soup, which in my opinion is the best. After lunch the Show was open and we headed over to the Coliseum.
At the show we looked at every RV they had and had a lot of fun dreaming! Then around 2:30 we headed out. We stopped in Auburn to update his Centennial phone, this is when I excused myself and made a run to CVS.
While I was there I found Gillette Shavers and the Shampoo!! I was so excited because the store I usually go to was out of Gillette Shampoo by Monday and had no clue about the razors. So I bought 2 Gillette Razors, 2 Venus Razors and 5 Gillette Shampoos.
I then went back to Centennial and picked up my brother. Then we stopped by Wal-Mart. While I was there I got 2 Glade Flameless Candle Holders for .28. They were marked down to $2 and I had 2 more $2 Q's form the boxes of the last ones I bought at Walgreens. They do not have candles in them and have snowflakes on the boxes so I think they were considered Christmas items.
After leaving I took him home and headed home. When I arrived home I remembered I told Morgan I would take her to Jo-Anns to pick out a pattern for her 4-H project. I also needed to get her to Basketball practice by 6:00 and it was 4:30! So we jumped in the Van got into town and got her pattern. Well, me being who I am...I had to check our CVS to see if we had our Shavers out. Of course they were not! I asked the manager about them and she said I will go look in the back and she came back out with one box of 9. I told her I had seen them earlier and the other store had a whole endcap of them. At this point I was very happy I made that run to CVS in Auburn. I did get one more but was very disappointed, because I had 3 more q's for them. Oh well, I didn't want to be selfish, so I only took one.
I then mad a dash out and took Morgan to practice then ran home and cooked dinner! Something easy, Spaghetti, and luckily John was home to help. After eating I went back to pick her up.
Well, that was a very jam packed day! I loved spending time with my brother since we never have time together. With him being sick I cherish our time together even more!

Morgan has been wanting to make a fleece blanket for quite some time now. Jo-Ann Fabrics had a great sale on polar fleece on Black Friday, it was only $2.99/yd. So this is what she settled on. She really wanted some with horses, but it was not included in the sale.
It turned out so cute. I wish I had, had the money to buy more of this great fleece and make more blankets for others. They are so easy and warm!

My nephew and his wife had thier first daughter (second child) Thursday morning @ 11:18am. She weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 19" long, her name is Madilyn Belle (not sure of the spelling yet). Congradulations Anthony, she is very beautiful!
