Two Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!

I just saw the cutest movie tonight. I had not even heard of it, but it was playing for $2.50 at our local theater and I couldn't pass it up. I highly recommend it! You can even take your teenage girls to see it. It passed the family friendly test!

Frugalicious!

This couponing thing is really fun. Just wondering if any of you coupon? It's such a thriil to get a great deal. I have gotten quite a few freebies as of late! Yesterday, I got 2 G@in dish soaps for free. A few days ago, I got 4 Ment0s gum packs for free.

I wanted to share a few sights that I frequent several times daily:

What websites do you use? I'd love any couponing advice or tips!

Oh yeah, if anyone needs toothpaste or deodorant, give me a call. I can hook you up! :)

Ants In My.......House!

There are some things about my life that I just don't understand. There are plenty of things about my life that I would like to tweak. I could stand to lose about 50 lbs. I've been thinking about how nice it would be to never have to wear glasses ever again. I wish my kids behaved better when I take them out in public.

However, there is one thing that I am over-the-moon about. My husband is an amazing dad. He takes time to kick the ball with his daughters. He coaches their soccer team. He cooks......sometimes. He lets me get out with the girls so I can have a break from being a full-time stay-at-home mommy. He throws the football with our son and helps with homework. He is stern, but loving and most of all, he teaches and models Jesus Christ to them. All around, he is a pretty amazing man.

Last Saturday, he and Michael spent the entire day working on a homemade ant farm. Michael has a love of all things science. My two males are totally cut from the same mold. Michael is a miniature version of my husband, only with my killer red hair.....:)

On Monday, after school, Daddy and Michael went on an ant hunt in our front yard. They found some "Red Harvester" ants, which apprently are really neat to look at, but will sting the fire out of you with the same intensity as a wasp! Dad put "said" ants in our refrigerator for 10 minutes to slow down their metabolism for easier transfer to the farm. Apparently, 10 minutes isn't long enough because the transfer was anything but easy. We had ants going everywhere! Michael was very specific about which ants were important, so as they were attempting an escape, he was trying to catch them with his hands. Mistake. Michael encountered the wasp similiarity at this point.

We eventually got most of the ants safely to their new home. They have since been working hard to make tunnels all through the farm. Michael is just tickled with what he and his daddy did together. I must say, I'm rather tickled, myself. It cost them a whole Saturday and some Afterbite (for the painful sting), but the priceless time being invested in a parent/child bond is well worth it!
