Big Weekend

Valentines Day! Ok it was Saturday but Love is still in the air. We had a blast, Madison had friends over all weekend so she passed on the Vday Fam activities. Thursday Jeremy and Iwent to the movies. Yep you know this is my favorite thing to do in the winter. We saw Slumdog Millionair. Great scenary story line ok. Friday, Gearbear and I went and played Cupid. We went to each of the kids schools and delivered flowers and balloons to each kid. Garet was sad each time he had to give a balloon away but he always had one in the car waiting for him. Saturday we woke up and made a big breakfast for the mass amount of kids in out home. The teenagers decided to sleep through the yumminess. By noon we were off to see Coraline in 3D. We stopped at the local theater got seated, watched aprox. 2 mins of the movie and noticed it wasn't in 3D. So I went out to the box office and asked for a refund being my kiddos wanted to see it in 3D. Unfortunatly but fortunenatly they couldn't give me a money refund but instead 6 movie tickets good anytime. We the avid movie goer I am this was a great deal. You see, matenee tickets are only 4.00 a piece and regular tickets are 9.00 a piece so I got quit a deal. So we piled in the car drove 15 mins to a different theater and sordove enjoyed a disurbing 3D movie. The movie was very disturbing but the 3D effect were out of this world. Moving on we went to the big OCB for supper then off to haircuts for everyone. No not Garbear I couldn't cut his precious curls yet. Later that night Jeremy and I snuk off for a little time alone and came home with a new TV. Yep, we got our tax money back and our TV from the early 90's were barely working. So we know have a beautiful TV with no cable and a no good antena but I tell you we hooked up our old XBox and the games are so cool now. YOu can actually see something other than black. We also have a wii that we play with as a fam anad that is so much fun. Many of you know Jeremy and I are not TV people so this was a huge deal to spend our money on this. We also have a broken 20 year old fridge that can't keep Ice cream cold so on Friday my new Fridge arrives. I have been waiting for this for so long. OK 2.5 years since we moved in. Other items we are going to be buying with the big Tax refund is a Wood burning furnace (this will help our heating bill a ton) we will be cutting wood this summer which will be a wonderful thing for our daughters LOL. We will also be purchasing 4 new pairs of glasses, 2 sets of 6 month contacts and 7 dentist appointments. Hmmm, wonder if I could make that into the 12 days of Valentines song. Moving on, Sunday more kids here, played the wii on the new tv. Monday, Teens had a rock band party, maddi's glasses broke so she had to order new ones early. And now today, just a good day. I took down my dept 56 houses, as a look at each one its like a picture book. Each one has a story about who I am. I love it and they were hard to put away. I also got my tomatoes, broc, and sweet peppers planted. My green house is almost full.
