Come Along With Me......

As I take you with us and show you what we did last week :)

The rain was not that bad during the day on Saturday.  We saw a few flooded streets and a man kayaking down his street.  Our street was not flooded and we were able to get out, so off we went to Toys R Us for their Nerf Event.

I forgot my phone at home so no pictures :(  The boys had a blast shooting a couple of Nerf guns and everyone who participated got a small package of Nerf darts and 2 Nerf cars.

After Toys R Us we headed over to a couple of stores and did our shopping :)  We didn't need a huge amount of groceries so shopping was a breeze :)

On our way home it started raining heavily.  Sunday was little Michael's birthday and I had a cake to bake.  I baked the cake and hubby decorated it.

I cannot believe my "baby" is growing up so fast.  I need something to slow him down just a little.  It just hit me that next year Nathan will be in High School and I only have 4 more years left to teach him.  Where is the time flying to??

Michael loved his cake :)  He was so excited with this Poke ball cakes :)

By the end of the evening, the rain was pouring.  The next day some of our road was flooded so I had to end up taking our oldest to work.  Good thing I did.  I'm not sure he would have made it to work on his bike.

This is not our road but it is one of the main roads we have to take to get Chris to work.  It was not fun to drive in but we made it safe :)

Other than our minor flooding, we had a blast not spending any money other than for groceries.  I can't wait to see what we come up with to do for FREE next week :)

Home Depot Kids Workshop~ 09/02/2017

Come Along With Me.......

As I take you with us and show you what we did last week :)

Most of you already know about my dental visit.  My stitches felt like they were going to be in my mouth forever.  The dentist told me that if they were not out in 10 days and were really bothering me to call the office to have them removed.  Well, on the 10th day, go figure, these super annoying stitches finally released and came out- YAY :)  I have been enjoying solid food again :)

Since I wasn't sure when my stitches were going to come out, we planned a family game day at home.

I did go out on the 17th for the Cape Coral Aldi Grand Opening.  Since this one is a lot closer to our house, I didn't have to get up and leave as early as the last Grand Opening.  In 1 hour from the time we got there, all 100 tickets had been given out.

I was number:

18 is a good number for me.  I was born on the 18th day.  I was feeling really lucky.  When it was opening time, I got a gift card for the amount of:

$25.  Not bad.  I was really hoping for the $100 gift card.  That would have been amazing but $25 is still great and helps so much with our grocery budget.

Over the weekend, we had a fun game day, filled with Hungry Hungry Hippos, Operation, many hands of Uno, Slap Jack and many many more.

Mario Memory

Dutch Blitz card game

We are having so much fun not spending any money :)  I can't wait to see what we come up with to do for FREE next week :)

Come Along With Me.........

I don't know where to start.  I had my posts all planned out in my head last week but unfortunately didn't have a chance to get them typed out.  And then it happened.....

I broke a tooth- ouch :(  I called the dentist who couldn't see me until next month :(  Thankfully, they had an office the next county over that could see me the next day :)

Now remember, I went in for a broken tooth and somehow got talked into getting my last wisdom tooth cut out :(  Now I have needed to get his done for some time now.  My poor wisdom tooth came in sideways about 15 years ago.  It needed to come out.  I just didn't think that Thursday was the day.

So, I have been on the couch recuperating and on a not so fun soft and liquid diet :(

My dentist appointment last week was also the same day as I was supposed to post my Come Along With Me from the week before.  So that didn't happen.  Guess what??  You all get a bonus~ 2 week recap :)

The week of July 30- August 5th:

This week was an exciting week.  I helped out with Rev Week at church.  It was for Middle & High School students and it was awesome:

One of the nights, our library was hosting a Space Bingo Night that I signed up for but Nathan and I couldn't go due to Rev Week.  Hubby and little Michael went and had so much fun and won cool prizes:

Saturday, Hubby and I got to go to an adult art class.  We had so much fun creating art.  This is the first time in a long time that we got to do something together by our self.  It was nice :)

From August 6th to 12th:

You already know about my dental issue :(  I was so afraid the boys were going to miss the Pokémon Event at Toys R Us.  But hubby told me that he would take them and that he would take the list and go to the grocery store as well~ with the boys :)

I had no problem taking him up on his offer.  Hubby and the boys were not home- oh my.  That meant a nice quiet house for me to do something I haven't done in so long- relax and enjoy the quiet.  It was so nice :)  And to have to grocery shopping done for me, was oh so sweet :)

Now things are back to normal :)

We are having so much fun not spending any money :)  I can't wait to see what we come up with to do for FREE next week :)

Toys R Us Event~ 08/12/2017

Toys R Us will be hosting a Pokémon Event on August 12, 2017 from 1-3pm :)

Come Along With Me............

As I take you with me and show you what we did last week :)

I actually remembered this time :)  We made it to a library event that I had signed us up for.  This event was a Meet & Greet with the local Police Department and their K9's :)

I am so glad we went.  We learned so much about the K9 unit of the Police Department and got to pet this gorgeous dogs :)

I had been counting down the days for the Aldi Grand Opening in the next county.  This one will be closer than the one we are currently driving to.  Chris decided he wanted to come along with me bright and early Thursday morning.  I figured we would get held up with morning commute traffic, so we left at 6am.  The roads were clear and we got to Aldi's a lot earlier than anticipated.  We got in line:

Even though we waited in line for 2 hours, it wasn't that bad of a wait since I had someone to chat with.  Some people in line had books and brought chairs :)

I won a $25 gift card and Chris won a $10 gift card :)

We can't wait to do it all over again in a few weeks when the Aldi in our area is having their Grand Opening :)

We also had Michael's brother fly down and spend time with us.  That was nice.  We haven't seen him in quite a while.  He was nice enough to tune my guitar :)  Guess I should try learning how to play that again.  When I got my guitar many many years ago, YouTube didn't exist :)

We ended up making super yummy brownies and chocolate chip cookies~ Mmmmmm :)

None of them lasted very long.  They never do.

We have been doing so well with our No Spend Month that we were able to give our credit card company $673~ YEA!!!!!!!!

We had a blast last week and it was all FREE :)  We are having so much fun not spending any money :) 

We are doing so well that we have extended our No Spend Month into August :)  I am so excited to see how much we will be able to give our credit card company this month :)

I can't wait to see what we come up with to do for FREE next week :)

Come Along With Me............

As I take you with me and show you what we did last week for free or super cheap :)

Our library has been offering all kinds of free events all summer long.  This event was a reptile show.  Super cool.  We were looking forward to it.  That is until, I remembered the event several hours later after the event was over- Oops :(  This time it was my fault we missed the show.  I am now writing the events on my calendar beside my computer.  That should help me remember :)

Toys R Us had a Back to School Event that was really cool. Everything was set up in stations. You started out with a scavenger hunt through the science section.  Came back and filled out an all about me page.  You then moved to the Bunchem's table, where you got to build and keep a giraffe.

 Then the Slime demo.  You didn't get to make the slime but you got the opportunity to add glitter to it and got to take it home.

After the super fun Toys R Us event, we headed over to Gamestop.  The boys and hubby's favorite store :)

Nathan had a birthday gift card and knew exactly what he wanted to get.  I love going to the mall not for shopping.  We walk the perimeter of the mall and get a really good walking workout :)

We came home and made the most delicious sugar cookies- mmmmm.  This is all that is left from our baking adventures :)

We are still searching and hunting for Homeschool books.  I have found quite a few for really awesome prices and will be doing a homeschool book haul to show you everything we got :)

We had a blast last week and it was all FREE :)  We are having so much fun not spending any money :)

I can't wait to see what we come up with to do for FREE next week :)

Come Along With Me..............

As I take you along with us and show you what we did last week :)

Our local library was having a free magic show.  I was excited and signed us up to go.  Well, one of the boys was having a rough day and decided not to go :(  I checked the library calendar and it is packed with lots of fun free events :)

I am still searching and bidding on homeschool books.  This is what I have gotten in so far:

More is coming in the mail :)  I am so excited about how much money we are saving.  The BJU American Republic history set retails for $179 and I picked it up on Ebay for $34.75- Win :)  Apologia General Science set retails for $62 and I got it for $38 :)  Math U See Beta retails for $106 and I was able to purchase it for $49 :)  So excited :)  The more money we save on curriculum, the more field trips we can take.  I am going through Swagbucks for my Ebay purchases and am getting points that I can redeem on giftcards :)  If you are unfamiliar with Swagbucks, click here.  This will take you to a post I wrote all about Swagbucks.

How is your weather where you are?  We have been getting hit with some pretty strong storms here almost every day.  Got to love rainy season here in Florida :)  Normally, we don't have any issues during rainy season but this week our power has been going on and off- not fun :(

Little Michael and I decided that we needed to make cupcakes.  We had so much fun.  I let him do most of the work from measuring, stirring and even pouring the batter into the liners.  He did so well and the cupcakes tasted so good :)

I think he got more flour on himself than in the bowl :)

On Saturday, we went to Toys R Us for their International Day of Play Event and had so much fun.  They had tables set up with games to play, coloring sheets, Nerf games, Karaoke, Pie in the face game and Nintendo Switch.  The boys will tell you their favorite part was the Nintendo Switch, which is now on their birthday and Christmas wishlists :)

We had a blast last week and it was all FREE :)  We are having so much fun not spending any money :)

I can't wait to see what we come up with to do for FREE next week :)
