thanks

I do it all the time, Everything is a secret in my house, My kids alsways know nothing

Menards last year had them very cheap, and they had different sports, I got my littest a soccer beanbag chair and I believe I didnt pay more then 9.99 for it

I am making a bath basket for my soon to be 10 Year old niece, Includes a huge bath towel and one of the razors I got, shampoo and then I will buy some bath stuff to include in it.

I was at Lowes today and they had some new awesome blow ups. trying to figure out how to work them into my budget

when I looked at the thanksgiving ad I didnt notice any early birds on there and they always have early birds thanksgiving day

Never noticed, But even if it did it wouldnt stop me

I put a small tree with lights in the bathroom, and also little stockings

I stayed in bed, Didn't even bother to get up

we wont discuss this,

Last Year I sold the Original Power rangers and Aliens on E-bay, I also sold the original littles pet shop, and all the original Polly pockets and two huge tubs of the new ones. Thats when I realized my kids are every spoiled

Rudolph Monopoloy I have this one, and Dinopoloy these are great fun

I did this one year when my husband and I didnt have enough money and I got nothing but grief for a few years later from my family. I spent days making cookie baskets to be made to feel like a heel. Now on the flip side my boss can not wait till this time of year to get his christmas cookie basket,

make at the holiday's, I have a wall in my house that every year I put up pictures through the years that they have made. I love the reaction from my kids when they see something they made, most fun is the 19- and 16 year old with there kindergarden pictures. This also makes a great conversation piece this is only half of the pictures I have added much more since I have 4 kids. I really hope that some of these traditions that I do my children will carry over, I have to admit sometimes I am way out there but I have fun http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f137/Illinoismom/100_0920.jpg

Going over the catalog, I really didnt see any great bargins that they were having this year, A little disapointed in them, It is always my kick off to the season. 3 Hour sale is not that great in my opinion

I normally just cook one meal for thanks giving and it's for the Ederly, so there is about 50, it's the only thanksgiving they get, and then we go to my mother in laws, But not this year I will have to cook for the ederly and then my mother in law is going out of town so it will be the 6 of us and I think i can handle that have not done thanksgiving for just us in so long

If I waited for my husbands permission to buy Christmas things I would still be waitng LOLOLOL, He swears that they multiply in the attic every year because he has more and more to put out. LOLOLOL, On the flip side he now askes me whats new out there I want to get for the outside, We take turns with new new stuff, one year its the out side the next it's the inside

I had to finally get rid of that set, last year, it was so weathered, I found it at Lowes I think, Maybe menards you need to look at those type of places, Since they went to the animated ones those are hard to find.

well we do the lights, I have 3 inflatables and a snow globe, and a lot of plastic light up items, a train, and i have rudolph , a lighted arch I have to think I know there is more

I bought my youngest one when she was 4 she is now 8, Rebecca as she is called sits on her toybox and is lonely, She found the doll who looked like her beautiful she was big and just couldnt handle her. She has now since moved on to American Girl dolls. They are a little bit smaller. and have so much more in things you can get.

I do not do layaway on BF but I have used layaway every year for 16 years for my kids presents. I do not have credit cards nor do I want them. I think it is assine to force people to go into credit debt or just have children do with out. It's a shame I guess the saying is true everything for a buck

My santa helper sweat shirt, blue jeans,christmas socks, and undies ( I know a little too much info. carrying my Christmas purse and listening to Christmas music, But that will be me

I used to but my older one, one every year up until three years ago when she asked me not to, she was 17 I guess she thougth she was too old for it

What he isn't real, then who eats the cookies and drinks the eggnog, who brings the presents, Say it isnt so
