December Photo Project Dec 10th

I can't believe I am hanging strong with the photo project! Go me! Well, lil' bit and I hung around the house this morning (because we are exhausted from the lack of sleep...no thanks to those dadgum teeth!) and then we ventured out into the cold to run errands this afternoon. I have to say that I am a BIG bargain hunter and I NEVER pay full price for ANYTHING! So, I got a $10 gift card to Kohls in the mail (they mail me one every 6 weeks or so) and then I printed a 15% off total purchase coupon.....and off to Kohls we went!
We searched through the infant clothes (there is not one tootin' cute little baby girl thing anywhere! It all looks like junk. I want sweet, just fyi). So, I found a pair of leggings to go with a jumper I made and then we made our way to the toys. Man, did Emma Kate and I have fun with the toys! I know that Christmas is just around the corner and I bought all her toys and such back in September, but I needed to feel like a part of the buying in December, ya' know. So, we picked out a toy. ........... Ready for the big part?????????
I bought a $10 pair of leggings and a $30 toy (all for EK) used my $10 gift card, my coupon, plus the in store sale prices and I only paid............................................... drum role.............. $8.59!!!!!!!!! That is correct o mundo ....... I bought  $40 worth of merchandise for lil' bit and paid $8.59.....I LOVE saying that over and over. GO ME! I couldn't wait until Christmas to give her the toy because we had too much fun playing with it in the store and it came with a music cd and we just had to listen to music and dance to it!

Here is lil' bit with her new toy.... a phone that that rings and plays music and teaches colors and numbers. I think she likes it!

We finished the night with a little supper, some playtime with Charlie, and a little Christmas Tree enjoyment.




Good night followers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poem for all those SAHM

Song for a Fifth Child

By Ruth Hulburt Hamilton

Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.

Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due,
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo.

The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
