Happy Easter!
It’s FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!! This week has gone by pretty fast. I only had to watch “my other kid” 4 days this week, since his parents are now on leave. That freed up my morning today, so I got to go to school with Connor this morning and help out with their Easter Party. I LOVE watching him with the other kids and was impressed with his behavior. I really enjoyed myself and Landon had fun as well. We left school and met up with Andy and Shane at Chick-fil-a for lunch and then the boys and I came home and took a nap. I had a lazy afternoon, so we decided to order in Chinese for dinner, which was yummy. Andy and Shane stayed with boys while I ran some errands. I paid the cell phone bill and was happily surprised when they told me that there was a billing error on their part and I had a $27 credit..that’s always nice. Then I exchanged some stuff at Old Navy for Connor and found some more cute things on sale and even picked myself up an awesome shirt for $7.99. Then I hit Ross’s for their dress sale and walked out of there with 2 adorable spring dresses for under $30! I LOVE SALES!!! Especially since I never buy myself anything. I don’t feel as guilty when I do indulge myself, if I get a great buy. And speaking of great buys…..2 years ago I bought Andy a 48 inch HDTV and we got it at a discounted price since it was the store model. We saved $400 on it and I was happy to buy it for him as his Welcome back from Iraq/Happy B-day/Merry Christmas present. He loved it!!! Well, a few weeks ago, a freind of his told him about a great deal he had got on a new LCD tv and ever since then, Andy has had the itch for a bigger TV. I was not thrilled at all with the idea, but told him if he could sell this one for a descent price and put the money towards a new one, then I would ‘allow’ this. We ended up getting $600 for this tv and got a GREAT deal on a new 65 inch LCD tv and the company gave us a significant discount on it AND threw in a stand that will fit into our huge wall unit. They were bending over backwards for us as soon as we mentioned going to visit their competitors… : ) So, tomorrow, his buddy is coming to get the old tv and is even giving us a free 24 inch tv for our room…..the one in our room now is only a 12 inch. And the new HUGE tv is getting delivered between noon and 2pm. Andy is like a kid on Christmas Eve!!! Men are so funny!
We have a few fun things planned for this weekend, too. Tomorrow morning is the base’s egg hunt and they always give out good stuff and the kids have a blast. Plus they have the car show and other things going on too. Sunday is Easter and we are going to church and then I get to come home and cook! I am excited—-seriously! I love making big dinner and we have 3 other families coming over to join us. I bought a gi-normous ham and I can’t wait to make it! It’s going to be fun to have everyone together. Andy will have his friends, I will have mine and the boys will both have their “girlfriends” over. I just hope the weather holds out for a egg hunt in our backyard…the dogs have given us a jumpstart on some hiding place with all the holes they have dug…grrrrr. I just hope this weekend is fun and I’m praying this next week goes smoothly, as Connor is out of school and can get a little crazy!!!! Next weekend, I will definitely be napping!
