Valentines Day

It's Tuesday night, and like the last several weeks I will be spending it finishing up homework that's due tonight. I do get most of my homework done on Saturday/Sunday but never seem to complete it all, oh well. It should only take about an hour to complete, hopefully not longer than that!

So last week was Valentines Day. We don't go out (to expensive), I don't let Scott buy me flowers (again to expensive for something that dies so quickly), but we do make ourselves a great meal every year. This year we got coconut shrimp, snow crab legs & steaks, yumm! I bought Scott some sheets (he lost our Super Bowl Bet, and we needed new sheets), Connor got a new workbook and a mini pack of wrestling guys, Savannah got some new shoes (Target Clearance!) and her Dolly Priss headband. Scott got me a Reese's Heart & a new movie, and I will be getting a new jersey (that's what I won for our Super Bowl bet!) - it just hasn't' arrived yet. We don't go way out on presents for V-day just a good meal and a couple little things to enjoy! Perfect for us! Oh, and gotta show off Savannah's cute V-Day outfit. My Little Legs - Legwarmers, Headband from Dolly Priss, and the outfit was from Aunt KiKi for her Birthday! Hehe, baby girls are so much fun to get dressed up!

Christmas With The Brausen's

Did a little shopping this morning. Ran to Menards, Shopko and then to Target. Got a few gifts for next year (yes I'm horrible, lol, but come on..........there are a LOT of people we buy for, so I gotta make sure I get really good deals!). Now we're about to run to Walmart before heading to Grandma's for lunch and then Woodman's to get a few groceries for the next couple of days.

On Friday night we went over to John & Carol's house to celebrate Christmas with the Brausen family. We ate some yummy food and then all the kid's opened up their gifts. The kids were spoiled like always, Connor got The Ultimate Optimus Prime Transformer, Savannah got some really cute clothes, and they both got a ton of other presents. Sorry, can't remember everything they got at this moment our house looks like a battle field! I got some yummy smelling body butter and Scott & I both got 1 of our trips to Disney in April, so now we only have to pay for 1 of us! Yay! We also did our gift exchange. We play a randomly selected game to get our order of who gets to pick first and then we can steal, etc. Scott ended up with some ice cream topping set with bowls & a scoop and I ended up with a 2 pack of pretty photo albums which I desperately needed.

Black Friday

Well I didn't get nearly as much accomplished today as I wanted to. I still have time to get some stuff done but I really don't have the motivation to do it. Just sitting here playing on the computer while Scott plays with the kids in the kitchen with Play Doh. Really have to do some homework and finish cleaning my room since I took everything out of my closet and now it's all over my bed.

So with Thanksgiving comes Black Friday, the day of shopping. I've only been participating in Black Friday for the last couple of years, but it's been a lot of fun. Chrissy picked me up at 9:30 pm to head to Walmart. We went there last year so we weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was this year. There was no were to park and we had to park a few blocks away. We looked ridiculous running to the store trying to get there at 10 p.m. so we didn't miss any of the sales. We got in and out fairly quickly and then headed to Kohl's. We got there at 11:15 but they weren't opened until midnight so we sat in her vehicle for awhile so we didn't have to stand out in the cold. Again, we were in and out fairly quickly , stopped by Target but didn't buy anything, and then was home a little after 1 a.m. Got about 2 hours of sleep then headed out again, this time with Miss. Savannah. We picked up Pat and went to the mall for awhile. Picked up some super cute PJ's for Connor from Gymboree for pretty cheap and some other stuff as well. Afterwards we went and picked up Granny, went to breakfast, then to Shopko & Target. I finished almost all of my Christmas shopping, I do have a few things to pick up still but am about 93% done I would say, and they are all wrapped as well! Bring on the Christmas Season!
