Down a bit on weight. Overcast and rainy today, good day to enjoy being home safe and sound with family. Still not feeling awesome, but better. Don't mind my journaling today... not much in the way of on topic for this site- just general journaling.
We ended yesterday with a birthday party- probably the last water party of the season =) My best friend's niece turned 3 yesterday.... and my husband turns 30 today! He was pretty grumpy about it yesterday. Seems to have bowed to the inevitable today and is in a much better mood ;-) He got an Amazon Fire phone as an early gift for his birthday last month. His old phone was 4 years old and DEAD, like pieces falling off it dead, but he is so much a 'if it's not broke enough' guy that I had to order him a new one as his surprise bday gift =p It came with a free year of Amazon Prime and he loves it, so I'm glad I bit the bullet and did that. Luckily it part of the AT&T Next program so the cost is spread out.
Made six of these sets yesterday evening before bed. They cost us about $5 each to make and are nice for those people that aren't on our main holiday list but you need to get something for as more of an "it's the thought that counts" deal. The candy and popcorn was on ad sale ending yesterday so we just grabbed them now rather then hope they went on sale again befor Christmas. Hershey bars were $3 for 6pk and the popcorn was $1 a 3pk with a 1¢ fuel saver (makes them about 90¢ a 3pk, really depend on how many gallons you fuel up with but we average 10). Planter's Nuts are 2 for $1 normally. The Kabob sticks are 100 for $3 (use almost half making 6 sets). Then the foam, tissue paper and glue sticks can all be gotten at Dollar Tree. The same set sells for $15 in the store using Orville popcorn instead; so, I almost waited to get Orville on the 2 for $4 ad sale that started today. Decided just to go with the store brand and call it good enough =p Candy and packaged popcorn both have shelf life of about a year so making them a little early still gives the giftee 9 months of 'best by' time.
Homeschool is chugging along. Oldest is doing Free Reading time right now. Not sure but my youngest might be getting sick. He's been a little lethargic today (sitting on my lap cuddling atm looking at a picture book) and feels a bit warm. He's been sneezing a lot so it might just be allergies.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
