Hmmmmmm, now what on earth could that title mean???
Weeeeellllllll, when my sister went in to the hospital on Monday morning due to some spotting, they're pretty confident they saw not just one little blessing, but TWO!!!
Her spotting has stopped and she feels good, despite a Beta HCG of 14310 on monday!!LOL They figure her little beans are around 6-7wks, but we'll know more after her second ultrasound on Friday (the 4th). Your prayers would be much appreciated for God's will to be done.
Still crazily busy, but I suppose that's to be expected!! I went out with Kerri on Wednesday and we went to Zellers (which I must say has me much more pleased than Walmart, I may have to break-up with Walmart!!ROFL) I got all my school supplies and then we headed off to Chapters to immerse ourselves in capuccino's and books....what more could you ask for?!?!? I am going back within the next couple of days because I discovered that my children absolutely love LeapFrog!! I bought one for them and it has been in constant use!! As well as some more books, and a couple of math sets. wanno go again next wednesday, Kerri???LOL I'm sure you wanna another Caramel Macchiato!!!!*giggle*
OH OH OH!!! *calming down* My Lars hasn't arrived yet, should be sometime around the middle to late next week...BUT!!!!! I am in the process of getting my All Camo Mei Tai carrier that I have been lusting over since I discoverd the Mei tais!! I will be posting a link to her website as she is a fellow Christian Mama who lives in Canada and also makes slings. I'm all for supporting Christian Mama's who make worthy products for other Mama's!! Her site is called Coastal Slings, check it out!!
well, time to get back to crazyiness!!Oh, and here's my Friday Five!!

News to share, a sweet little 'didy', and other nonsense!
Hey there ya'll! Anyone miss me?!!??LOL WHEW! I have been so busy it's crazy. Don't mind me if I put this all in point form as I really should be tucking the rest of my peanuts into bed!LOL
First, what's this with big news to share?? I'll give you a hint...some time in November of this year........bellies.........newborns.......give up?? I didn't think so!!LOL Yup, there will be a new bundle of love in the family!!WOOT!! But, it's not mine!! teeheee!! *ducking from the things you may be throwing at me* I couldn't resist!! Auntie Kandie has a baby on the way!!!Whoohoo!!! Nah, I'm not excited at all!!LOL
The sale went fabulous! I didn't have a sell out, but that is ok. I managed to get Mr. matt-man a crib and a change table (yeah, I decided to go with a crib) I also got him some super cute UK clothes and a Jumperoo. I also got some other things for the girls and boys. I also met a fab chickie who had her little peanut in a wrap. Now why am I so very excited about this? Well, since I've been 'babywearing' for over 10yrs using a vintage Snugli and my good 'ol MEC backpack and have only heard of mama's raving about their wraps, I was super happy(you could say totally giddy!!) to get to actually SEE one IRL!! Oh my, I am in love. The last couple of days I have indulged myself in the world of Didy's and Mei tais and Ellaroo's and WOW! It's like a babywearers paradise!!LOL I am so very excited to say that my very own floppy, Lars is on his way early next week to be loved and used by Matthew and I. I am sooooo excited!!
It'll take some practice to learn all the wrap techniques, but I'm sure it won't take too long.
Went grocery shopping again this week with my mom. I had also bought a forward/backward Snugli at the sale and Matthew was much happier in that while I shopped. Took Kayla and Matthew for the 2nd dose of the vaccinations tonight and my little man has gained 1lb and 1in since last month. In the works for next week, I have to go and get my end of the year school supply stock up in order to get my reimbursement from the homeschool school (um, that sounded kinda weird) hey, do ya wanna go Kerri, just popped into my brain!!LOL Maybe I can brainwash you into joining me on the homeschool bandwagon...you know you wanna!!! ;o)
Okay, sounds as though everyone is done brushing their teeth!!
Sorry for the super quick post!!
God bless!!

Friday 5
I am so gosh darn busy today, but I wanted to leave ya'll this!
When money’s a bit tight, how do you cut costs in keeping yourself fed?
skim the sale ads, shop with a budget and a list!
When money’s a bit tight, how do you cut costs in keeping yourself entertained?
feed the kids a bunch of cola and sugar...ummm...really? We make sure to try to keep our internet, it's both hubby and mine source of outside entertainment and of course walks to our lake when it's warm enough
When money’s a bit tight, how do you cut costs in other areas of your life?
don't leave the house, no cost in gas, and nowhere to spend money!!LOL
When money’s a bit tight, what do you do to keep your spirits up?
remember that this is a season and that the Lord WILL provide, He will always meet my needs, just not always my wants
When money’s a bit tight, what are some things you refuse to sacrifice?
Myself, I will go without whatever is necessary. But the kids, I try to not let them go without their favourite brands of food. Especially oatmeal, they LOVE the Quaker instant oatmeal.
Have a blessed weekend!!
I will be a busy girlie this weekend!! I'm so excited!! Did I happen to say that once or twice the past couple of weeks?!?!!?LOL

Happy Easter!!!
What a busy last few days it has been!! Hope everyone had a blessed Easter! Ours was nice, a little hectic, but that is to be expected around here!!LOL
I will put pics in the flickr for ya'll to check out.
Praise the Lord I was able to do the ginormous grocery trip on Friday, how blessed I feel to have a fully stocked kitchen now! My sister, Alex, Matthew and I all went. It took us about 5 hrs from start to finish and that includes of course the time it took that I had to stop and feed Matthew. He did so good, thank goodness! Alex was such a big help as well. We had four cart fulls when all was said and done. I ended up with a super nice cashier who took the time to stop my bill and run it through each time I hit the limit to be able to receive a free ham. I ended up receiving 5 free hams!!LOL What a blessing that was! I won't even mention the total cost!!LOL Let me just say, it was up there!!LOL
Saturday we did our egg decorating and the kids had a lot of fun. They were a little tired and grumpy, but it was enjoyed by all. Sunday we enjoyed our dinner and my mom came dressed up as a bunny (there are pics!!)
I'm spending the week getting things organized for the sale on Saturday, I am soooo excited. I've also became the person I used to poke fun at with regards to the sale. I always used to say that the people who had clothing racks were hardcore Used Toy and Clothing sellers and now I am one!!LOL I bought a clothing rack and may even have to get another one...hehe!! I hope it's a better turn out than the fall one, and I am really hoping to get good deals on clothing and books for the kids and maybe just maybe a few toys here and there..but shhhhhhh! Don't tell my kids that!!LOL I would really like to get them some more Lego, they totally love playing with it and it's something they can all do together. My sister is coming to help me out, so it will be fun. I just hope Matthew does good.
Tomorrow, Kerri and her kiddo's are coming for a visit. The kids are totally excited to have them coming over...me too!!!Hopefully we'll be able to sneak out for a little bit for a girls night out too...yum...Starbucks coffee sounds great!!!
I'm totally hooked! Maybe we'll wander through Walmart too, because we love that kind of exciting thing!!ROFL!!!
Well, time to get these guys settled in for a story and get them off to bed, they have been up late the last few nights and it shows!!
Have a blessed evening!!

Grrrrr.....
I had this post all typed up and ready to go and POOF! My browser had an internal error and microsoft had to close my windows, but it's okay, they're sorry! HA!
So, now my computer time has basically run out as I need to get bedtime going, so here is a super quick edit of what I wrote:
-Matthew rolled over from back to front on April 1st, hurray!!!
-He's teething and drooling and biting up a storm, OUCH!
-Getting things organized for the Used Toy and Clothing sale (if you live near me ans have little ones, COME!!! It's free admission for the first time ever!!)
-Only 2 days left of school!!
-Praise the Lord, I get to do my huge grocery trip in the next couple of days. It will be bigger than the biggest one I have ever done. I'm hoping that both my mom and sister will be able to help me, as it will most likely be about 4 shopping carts worth!!
-On a sad note, my Grandmother's 'boyfriend' went home to be with the Lord last week. My Grandma seems to be doing alright, like she says, you get used to this sort of thing when you get to her age. I suppose she's right, but sad nontheless.
He had brought so much joy and happiness to her life in the last year. They were such a cute little couple and he always did little things to make her smile. May he rest in peace with our Lord.
Now that I really need to go, here's something I found from Blessed mama's blog a couple of weeks ago:
It's kind of weird how bang on it was, try it out for yourself!!
Have a blessed Tuesday!!
