@opster25@momaroo - Our letterboxing trail name has been Just4Bees so this is a jab about it and not knowing what we will call ourselves. People came up with what they thought we should name the baby and then what they thought our trail name could be... Robert & Just5Beers Kevin & Just5Beeks etc
@just4bees - o ok could not figure it out. I just got done with out budget through december even got chirstmas budgeted in. Well some of it.. I alwasy say $100 per kid but i always do more. ;) becca wants a laptop.. Humm that maybe a bday gift. O yeah still waiting to see pictures from when we meet up. :) you can email me them if you don't want to post on face book and what not. unless they are the excat same as mine not sure if you took any extra, did you see the ones on facebook that I posted?
I do not usually do much for the kids, I stick under $100 per kid. I just do not like things to build up. Usually, with Hannukah it is one large gift and 7 small ones. They each get at least 1 nice item of clothes and a DVD as part of their gifts. I try to help them come up with thoughtful gitfts for people. I was so proud, for instance, when they asked to get Eric a new level for Father's day. It was not expensive but it was something he had been wanting and needing. We did not get a second laptop until this last year. We kind of call it Eliana's but it is not, although she is the main user of it for her school work. With all the internet crime and such, and the fact I would rather have them read or play outside, I am not a big believer in kids owning computers. It must be a relief though to have the money figured out. I am off to bed. Appointments tomorrow and lots of errands.
Enjoyed the pictures! I don't think I've ever seen a picture of your Mom. You two look so much alike!!! What a nice baby shower; and you received a lot of nice things for Garrett. Congratulations!!! Question, lady; are those women actually eating out of diapers??? LOL!!!!
@sandburm - There were 16 diapers, each had a different candy bar meted inside of it and we were trying to guess what was what. A couple of people did take a little nibble. Mostly though we were sniffing and touching. It was a hillarious game. I did the best with 9/16 right. Don't know if I should be proud or embarrassed that I am that familiar with chocolate, LOL. There was a great variety of gifts... cute shadow box, frame with a custom decorated mat, some little toys and supplies and some clothing as well as letterboxer supplies. Thankfully, we are doing okay with the the really big stuff... we still had the cradle from the older kids in great shape, the crib from Braeden which was brand new for him and is still okay with the safety standards. The carseat of course came from your generous giftcard as did most of his bedroom decor. Clarissa has been very kind and given us clothing that Ty has outgrown as well as his carrier and swing he had outgrown. Also my BFF Leslye sent me home with a jumbo suitcase full of clothing that her twins have outgrown as well as some little supplies she had too many of. I just purchased the fabric today to sew a carrier/sling for me to carry Garrett around in, Moby style. Another good friend of mine in NY sewed wool diaper covers out of wool sweaters I gave her to cover the cloth diapers we plan to use. Today I was able to get cradle sheets and a laundry hamper courtesy of my mom. I still need the diaper pail very soon but just was too worn out to look around anymore.
@just4bees - Yeah I hope i can STICK to it.. I may get her a computer for her bday not sure. I might get a personal DVD player and more games for her DS. (the 2 things she wants a computer) we have the desk top alos that just sits there. Brand new computer as of (nov.) and doesn't even get used. :( Well we went to the lake today now I have to get ready for work. tommarrow I have to get stuff to make my cheese cake and the following day we have a BBQ to go to. And then church on sunday and next week I belive we are going to try to hit up the indoor pool in waynesville. So we are trying to stay busy. Hope that baby comes soon for you.. (now that it is july ;) )
@opster25@momaroo - thank you, I hope he gets a move on. I think tomorrow I will go get some Evening Primrose Oil to help things along.
