We are finished!

Andrew and I just completed Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. We got a diploma and everything! Andrew wasn't able to attend about 4 classes with me because right after we started the class they transferred him to a store an hour away, and moved everyone around because of a new store opening. He worked so much in the last couple of months I forgot what he looked like!

I want to thank my brother and SIL for sending us to this class. It has made a huge difference in us now knowing where our money is going instead of us wondering where it went!

I strongly suggest you find a FPU in your town and GO! It will make a huge difference in your life!

My sweet happy girl...

I have the happiest baby ever...and no you can't argue that yours is! Just kidding!

Abbi has been the sweetest thing since the day she was born. She pretty much slept all night...in her bed, from the get go.

She was the easiest nurser; fast and done in 15 minutes and not hungry again until 4 hours later. I miss that! I pretty much dried up when she was 7 months and we have been doing formula since then.

She never cries unless she isn't feeling well or is so tired she doesn't know what else to do!

She is the funniest thing. And she already has a great attention span. She can sit and play with the magnets on the fridge forever.

And she loves her doll. She was playing peek a boo with it earlier by covering the dolls face with a sock that she found on the floor.

She is so smart...and only 10 months old. I have a hard time believing that she is already 10 months and a hard time believing that she hasn't always been a part of our family! She is such a joy!

I know I'm late...

We had a rainy Halloween here. We took the kids to a church for a fall festival. They had fun which is all that matters to me! We then went to my cousins Nanny's for family fun. They had fun riding on the golf cart to get some candy.

I wonder how long I can take the good stuff before they start realizing it?

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (New International Version)

Sowing Generously

⁶Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. ⁷Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Okay...I can't believe I wrote this!

I never would have thought that I would write about this but it so funny...at least to me!

My 5 year old still needs help when he wipes after a number 2. Sometimes there is a little blood so I will tell him he needs some juice to help with that...

My favorite time of the month is here, and as a Mom I never get privacy...even in the bathroom. So I was using the bathroom and Noah walks in and saw some blood in the toilet as I got up. He looked at me and said "MOM, you need some juice!"

Well...I thought it was funny!

BOIRON cold and flu products

A few weeks ago I was sent an email to try Boiron products just in time for cold and flu season. I said yes, being that I have decided against the H1N1 flu vaccine. I did get my little's the flu shot, but it just seems that the H1N1 came out so fast and I don't know enough about it!

I received Chestal which is a cough syrup made with honey, oscillococcimun which is to reduce the duration and severity of flu-like symptoms, and Coldcalm, which says it temporarily relieves cold symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and minor sore throat.

The thing that I like best about these products is that they are all natural products! No more worrying if I am giving my kids too much of this, and too much of that! They are made for children 2 years and up, except for the Coldcalm, it is suggested for 3 and up, because it is small pellets for the kids to let dissolve on their tongue.

If you have a blog and would like the opportunity to try these products, visit this Boiron site! And if you don't have a blog, here is a coupon for $1.00 off coupon!

Pumpkin Patch with Noah!

Noah and his "girl-friend!"

Making cider.

Sorry we are laying down, but I can't take it off! At story time.

Getting his pumpkin.

The hay maze.

Doing the craft.

Just arrived!

I don't know what is up with Blogger, but it won't let me cut and paste these pictures like I want to! Okay, now that I am done pitching my little fit...

I went with Noah's class on a field trip to a pumpkin patch. It is not as fancy as some other's that I have seen but we had fun. They had a hay maze, craft time, story time, got to pick a pumpkin, made apple cider in a press, had hot dogs for lunch, then got to roast marshmallows. We went on a hayride and it was fun! It was chilly that day and the patch was at the lake, so there was a cold breeze all day. But I am so glad I got to go!

So...

I have not been blogging much...obviously! I really want to...I'm just not sure what to say. I guess I have been a rut. We are trying to get our "house" fixed up to sell. I say "house" because it is a little two bedroom townhouse. Andrew and I bought it about 3 months before we got married. Andrew stayed here and I moved in when we got married. I loved it then...hate it now! Well, hate is a strong word, I guess I should say we have majorly out-growned the house. I have all 3 kids in one bedroom now. It's okay, because the only thing they really do is sleep it the bedroom. The rest of the time they want to be out in the living room with us.

About 3 weeks ago I got rid of so much stuff! I had our van packed out and took it all to the Goodwill, just to get rid of it. I should have had a yard sale, per Dave Ramsey, but I just wanted it gone! We have NO room to store anything and it was driving me crazy! I still have some work to do...we need to have our roof looked at, and we really need to replace the carpet. Although we don't want to do that with the kids here! That is why it looks the way does. Spotted from "dippy cups!"

In other news, I went with Noah's class to a pumpkin patch on Monday. That was fun. We enjoyed a hayride, story time, a craft, and got to pick a pumpkin. Then we had lunch. It was fun and I'm glad I got to go.

I am really going to try to blog more often. It is the only way I can really keep up with what is new with my children for me to have later in life.

Menu Plan Monday

I have seen this around the blog-sphere for a while and since I have been doing weekly meal plans for a while, I thought I would start. It really helps to save money because I plan in advance what we are going to have and buy only what I need!

Monday- leftovers from Sunday. Potato soup, baked spaghetti, or chicken and dumplings

Tuesday- cubed pork, carrots, and mashed potatoes and gravy

Wednesday-Hamburgers or Tacos

Thursday-Noah had a soccer party, so probably will have sandwiches after school instead of a snack

Friday-Chicken tenders and spicy black bean soup

Saturday-Family Night! Pizza and bread sticks

Sunday-Italian chicken, rice, and broccoli
