I am keeping it simple.Since Brianna is getting the BIG dollhouse,I decided to get a SMALL version for Lauren.Brianna is also getting the charger for her BRAND NEW(NEVER USED,just tried 2xs) Nintendo DS(regular,not lite)...WE have the VAN charger,but we needed a house one.I FOUND it on amazon.com.Amazon.com has EVERYTHING,and sometimes you find a STEAL!The dollhouse is 39% off today.The Camera (V TECH)is now 20$...just things I say...GO FOR IT:)
My mom grabbed one from AVON but i'll arrive in JANARY,Makes me wonder,should I even bother???
WELL..here is my start up..(some of it).I have the clippos table,and extra clippos.(for Lauren).
Brianna got her FIRST pair of Ugg boots she wanted,NOT To be worn yet.ASh will be getting them too.Shhh about Ashley LOL but she wants a FUJI Digi,HDTV for her room,and UGG boots.CLOTHES.Hmmm SIMPLE..I think so.I suggested the IPOD TOUCH..she said,nah..I got my ipod.Okie dokie..(even though I wanted it.)
ALL I want ALL ALL I Want is the kimble!First is the digi.(i'm paying for that tonite)...the kimble is next..3rd is the dollhouse.(paid for).She has little peoples dollhouse..did I jump the gun?I'm saving reciepts..I'm heading out to TARGET..Online I buy without really LOOKINg as much IMO.
I went to etoys.didn't find any deals I was hoping for....ToysRUs is pretty neat!
KUDOS.
OHHH I also got the CRAYOLA EXPLOSION!These things are being bought SOOO SUPER FAST here in NJ,they are hard to find!If your cild likes art..this is the item.SO neat..and she can play it in her room.NOTHING goes to play upstars ROFL!

New TV and REFRIGERATOR!

I am SO happy,time to be jolly lol.I got a large screen(60 inches) for my parlor,stand alone plasma tv.I love it,and nopers it was a freebie,given by my daughter when she moved all her furniture up to NEW JERSEY from florida.The fridge was in my moms basement,I cleaned it SPOTLESS and its BRIGHT WHITE:) i love it,i disliked the "off white with black'..It wasn't my style
SOOO things to do today.
...put up fridge,empty other one.I allready made it spotless,dh is putting the fridge back together again lol
.....rearrange parlor.remove entertain ment center,to the game room(OOH we got a Beautiful,HUGE green ottoman,Love it)..Lauren is giving it quite the eye full ROFL.
Thats in the game room right now too:) Talk about PSYCHED..all free stuff,that ROCKS.
Family is awesome:) somtimes they can make you crazy but they make your DAY.I love my family.
I am missing my oldest daughter=( Stephanie SO much.
Lauren is in my lap..just being SWEET As always.I am compiling a christmas gift for the girls.Ashley had a sleepover of 4 friends last night,and now we're picking up a PULL OUT couch,(umm lots of furniture now here in the back room) lol..he thinks it'll rock for future sleepovers,and people who will spend the night here all summer.:)
SO yay..thats pretty neat.Everything is underway,and gettign ready to decorate with the tree.ONLY stoppage is my painting the parlor,which I can let it go..for new years.Get rid of the tree,and everything,and paint starting anew.There is alot of work right now.we also got a BEAUTIFUL chandelier to put over our dinete set...just things that make a difference.
Brianna right now is Playing with Olivia(across the street).
Ashley,after my long night last night with her and her four friends.I had to drive them 10 miles away (not long),to a christian rock concert,than drive them to blockbusters,than back home.Oh whilest i was waiting,i left my lights and radio on,van off(keys),so my gas doesn't dwindle..WELL my battery died.OYE VEY,imagine that lol
OH the joy,i was a wreck,THAN i see a lovely lady offering to give me a jump.PRASE GOD for that;) it wasn't a miracle!!Random people around here do NOT Stop to help people.
However,I would give somebody a nice jump,if i knew how;) SO tidings,I will make billy do it next time i see it:)
MERRY CHRISTMAS SEEASON TO ALLLLL
I have to clean,than eventually get Ashley who is at Courtneys and Brianna who is with Olivia:)
XOXOO

teachers Conferences!

I have to get up and get out.I was playing with blogger most of the day.(so much for shopping online lol).I added things I liked,and found some of the blogs I try to read.I know there are many I am missing,i'll find them over time.
I am going to see Briannas teacher.I look foward to it:) The school is five mins away and I'm going to hear ALL about Miss Brianna lol!
Ashley,however,I did NOT get a time for her,or a conference request:( that is good news though,however,I DO want to speak to ALL her teachers.She pulled high 80's and 90's in her report card(no a,b,c's etc).So she is doing very well.I suppose thats why no conferences.They state,unless they need to talk to you,we do not need to go.I called,and stated I DO want to go.They will fit me in tomorrow.Unbelievable!Why do kids who do good,cannot get parents to go,and ensure they still KEEP on doing well.Makes NO sense to me!lol
I am thinking,i really need to order more books.I am reading the morganville vampire books.They are pretty good.I am unsure how many more there are,but I read 3 books allready.I am also reading PC Cast(marked,betrayed,chosen) books.They are easy reading,young adult.For these reasons,I really want an amazon kindle.I know it would be so worth it for me.:)
I am SOO unsure what to get Ashley.I TOUCH phone??What?Its so confusing!She is HARD,go figure!
I know Steph wants a digital camera!Lauren is easy,so is Brianna!Little ones are always easiest!LOL
Well,OFF I go.I have to get dressed and be at the school in 20 minutes!Yes,I'll make it lol!
YES..I LOVE BEN AND JERRYS..CHUNKY MONKEY ICE CREAM..YUMMMMMMMY!

Poverty & Christmas:( Makes me think...

Its just unfair.So many people do without.I was browsing to shop,and it hit me,I am not rich,not by any means.I am blessed.My children get to have a nice christmas,without breaking the bank.However,there are people out there who do not even have a home.:( Homelessness.How do THEY get to have a christmas.How many of us watch tv,and ::Sigh::: actually BELIEVE that life is like that?Just like it portrays on tv?The gifts,the beauty that they make you see,and therefor you try to do exactly THAT.Its just beyond many peoples expectation,or what they CAN do.Should we feel guilty about it??NO NO NO!
I stumbled across this website.It has a summary of what it does.This is a christian website,that helps give poverty stricken people a christmas.I do realize,christmas,means PRESENTS to children.I find it a shame.We can give all year long,why give on such a SPECIAL day,why make it SLIGHTLY about gifts?Children,sooo many of them,mine included are allready loaded with toys and clothes,and electronics.What MORE are we supposed to "buy"??I believe it should be about LOVE,FAMILY and FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ.
So many children,however,skip a bunch of that.Parents are so busy wrapping,and talking to other adults(family) and children are just given gifts and movies,and they just go in their "WEE" world.I know I do not recall anything I got for christmas,other than my puppy(as a child this is) and a baby alive doll.I was "spoiled" on top of it all,so imagine,not even remembering?ALL the time my parents spent wrapping n putting under the tree.I know my brother doesn't remember much of it either.I DO remember all the pizza they bought us afterschool though..and the dinners we had around the table.The trips to Spain,the times at the ocean,our disney vacation,Our vacation to Virginia,etc.Things we did TOGETHER.Ok,back to the point..this website seems neat.It helps people.I like that.
I am allready gathering shoe boxes,and we're filling them up with items.Small items,I cannot afford much.We grabbed items from walmart,dollar tree,and put them in the box.(Right now its stashed in my garage corner lol,where we hide our gifts).Than we donate it to the church,who in turn donates it to people in need.Just one box,I have novels I read and will not read again.Etc.
Here is the website!
I am going to put it in my links section.At least for the holidays!!!
