Christmas Shopping!

The big day is almost here BLACK FRIDAY! I really don't have much more to buy but the shopping rush is always fun. Me, my MIL and SIL go together every year and my MIL runs circles around us.

I am DONE with the boys! I picked up their last present yesterday. I had been searching everywhere for the perfect powerwheel but didn't want to spend $400.00-500.00 bucks. Well...yesterday I was heading to the grocery store when there it was on the side of the road. I pulled over and it was PERFECT. It doesn't even look like its ever been driven. Its a little big so I'm hoping it will take them awhile to outgrow it. The best part was the price 100.00!!!!

I can't wait for Christmas morning. I am totally going to be one of those moms that videos the entire thing. I NEVER thought I would do that but we can edit out all the boring stuff I just don't want to miss anything. Its going to be SO much fun.

Happy Shopping and I can't wait to hear about all the bargains!

I took the plunge...

and got braces...yes you heard it right...braces. My teeth weren't horrible but they were a bit crowded and as silly as it sounds I had this little gap between my front two teeth that bugged the crap out of me! The best part is my insurance paid for almost all of it so I thought why not! Now I will only have to survive my husband making fun of me for 6 months!



I looked into invisalign but the dentist didn't think that was right for me. So we opted for the 6 month smile (ONLY 6 MONTHS) which are braces that are geared for adults who don't have any issues with their bite. See below:

My braces on the left and traditional ones on the right...

Hopefully I'll have some really great before and after pictures in 6 months!

The Loot!

Halloween wasn't like this when I was little...we got candy. My boys made out like little bandits! Candy plus all this other stuff! They are in LOVE with their monster trucks!

The boys have been in gymnastics for the last 8 weeks and absolutely LOVED it! They had so much fun!

Proudly sitting with their ribbons. :)

Since it was the last day they got out their bounce house!

We've been trying to take advantage of the warmer days!
