Trip to the mall

Cameron had a birthday party to go to at the skateboard park in Grapevine Mills Mall last night so me, Jim & Hannah just hung out, walked around, had some pizza at Sbarro's. I had already told the kids we would take them to the candy store for some goodies, so they were totally excited about that, so they have their bags and are just salivating at all the sweets, filling them with those little shovels in the bins, and I was of course monitoring them because they get a little carried away and because that candy can be very costly once they put it on the scales, and wouldn't you know it, I spent $11 on 2 small bags of candy, I just cringed, you can't put it back! Jim said $11 in candy is $300 at the dentist!! haha!! we just made sure they brushed really good before bed. We actually had a nice time at the party, we knew alot of the people there, and Hannah had fun running around with the other younger kids. My dad aka...papa is coming to see us for the weekend and we are really excited, he is too much fun! The kids are still sleepin and my only kiddo for the day is pulling up so I need to run! Have a great weekend! S

Well, I'm just having my coffee doing some blog hopping, not too much going on here, which is kinda nice since we just had a long weekend. Went to the gym last night and had a good work out, I plan on going again tonight, Hannah is going to a friends house to swim today and then she has gym. tonight, I need to run to the library to get a few books, I have read everything I have, so I need more!! hehe!! I plan on watching "PS I love you" tonight, I got it last week and haven't had time so hopefully tonight I can watch it, I love Blockbuster online, such a dandy!
Not a real exciting post today huh?? are you bored? I have a clothes basket screaming at me so I better take care of that, have a good one, stay cool, drink peach tea with a lemon & lime in it!!

Well, looks like the hoopla is over, and everyone had a good 3 day weekend, good 4th, lots of food... and now it's time for routine again, and knowing me that's not a bad thing. When I said lots of food, I mean that I personally ate whatever the hell was in front of me, so with that said, the gym is going to be my "hangout" in the evenings, I was doing good for awhile but started slacking so now I am ready to get serious again! I only have 1 kiddo today so it should be easy peasy, Cameron is going swimming at a friends around noon and I have some housework to do, (what else is new) can I hear an amen moms???? After church yesterday we went to On the Border for lunch and in the kids menu pack they have these craft stick thingies, they are sticks that remind me of a candle wick, they are flexible, you can make what you want, Hannah Grace played with these stinkin things the ENTIRE day, I have never seen her so much fun with something, so I'll leave you with a picture of these "thingies" that she stuck to the wall!
