Earthquake

I forgot to mention this - Mom is ok in terms of the earthquake. She said it felt like a truck hit her building ... ha, just like Jerry from BB. But no damage at all! Yeah!

And I have been meaning to mention this forever - but since moving to LA, she got to meet and talk to Bob Barker! How cool is that?!?!

Outside!














In anticipation of the upcoming heat wave here in Kansas - the next 4 days the temps are going to be 95 degrees or higher - we spent lots of time outside today since we are likely not going to be outside in that heat! Below are some pics from our play today, enjoy! I am going to keep back, shut the computer off, and enjoy some BB for the rest of the evening! Wade is out of town AGAIN, so it's just me! Maybe I'll even go to bed early for a change!

Alas, it was too good to be true

Sorry girls -- The WAGS deal below was too good to be true. Apparently our WAGS ad had a misprint and the Crest with Scope was not included in the sale - so you can't double dip with the easy saver rebate. Bummer.

Super WAGS Deal

So I feel like I have been in a deal drought! But finally a good one to post about. At WAGS right now, Crest plus Scope toothpaste is on sale for $1.39 after instant coupon. In the easy saver catalog, there is a rebate for $5 back when you buy 4. So buy 4 for a total of .56. Hooray! Could be even better if you have coupons - I think I have some, but haven't had a chance to look yet. Go forth and buy toothpaste I say!

ETA: I found coupons! $2.50 worth of coupons - so this is a moneymaker!

Clean Shirt!


Ok - so why is there a picture of one of Keira's shirts at the top of this post? No, I am not turning this into my own personal craigslist, I was just using it as a visual to pass along a tip! I should have taken a before picture, but I just didn't think of it. This shirt was COVERED with ick - blood (from the aforementioned chair incident), red and blue popsicle goo (from healing the aforementioned chair incident), macaroni and cheese, and ketchup. Seriously, there was no white to be found. I didn't think there was any hope. But, as you can see, it came out perfect! Yippee! I use Spray and Wash and highly recommend it for all those messy little kids out there!

Cheetos










I introduced Keira to the world of Cheetos the other day. I had a craving for them and I couldn't not give her any. Suprisingly (ha ha), she loved them! Oh, but Mom does not love Cheeto fingers!

The Movie










I love being a parent. To just see the joy on your child's face when they are experiencing something new is one of the best things in the world. Keira LOVED the movie experience. She got her own little tray of popcorn and some lemonade. When the movie started, she said "Mommy, thats a big TV". So cute. She danced along to the music and we actually made it through the entire movie. She was upset when it was over. I was really suprised that she sat still the whole time - but she did great!
