Black Saturday?

Well I don't know what they call today. But it was another great shopping day! I like going to the BX and getting a $20.00 gift card. Although getting up early is starting to catch up with me I think. I found movies for $6.95 today and 3 DsLite games for about $9.00. One is a spanish learning game. I bet Tyler will just love it. LOL if not the rest of us can use it and try to learn something.
Tomorrow is another getting up early day. I hope it's not called Black Sunday because that just sounds bad. I think I will name it Green Sunday. LOL because tomorrow we will be getting another $20.00 gift card. I plan on taking 2 of the boys with me. Because any valid ID card holder gets a gift card if you are the first 100 in the door. Man after tomorrow I am not going to have much to write about for a while.
This afternoon we set up the christmas tree. And found out my great $22.00 garage sale bargain has seen better days. There is a section of prelit lights that don't want to work. I think I will start looking for a tall skinny tree. I am tired of the nice full ones taking up so much darn room. The tree we have now probably is a good 4ft across on the bottom. So it's time for a change.
Will add more tomorrow on what we found at the BX.

BLACK FRIDAY!!!!

What a great freekin day! I've been up since 1:45am. Tyler and I picked up my partner in crime Shellie and her son Josh at 2:45am. And we waited in line at the BX. They opened at 4am. The first 100 thru the door got $20.00 gift cards. Which we all got. :) .. I didn't buy anything there this morn bur Shellie, Josh & Ty did some shopping. Next was Shopko. What a crazy mad house. They had the best toy sale on this side of town and everyone knew it. They opened at 5am and we got there shortly after that. We made our way back to the toys because I was on the hunt for a $100.00 remote controll toy that was on sale for $30.00. This is what it looks like: http://toys.hsn.com/hot-wheels-radio-control-n-s-e-c-t-robotic-creature_m-10030874_xp.aspx?web_id=3819441&sf=ty&attr=5218&ocm=ty5218&prev=hp!5218&ccm=ty5218
There was a guy standing ouside Shopko handing out $5.00 off coupons for Village Inn so that's where we had breakfast. Next was Sears. I found David a pair of nice dress pants for 5buks. By this time the boys were getting wild. So we dropped them off at Shellie's house. Picked up a few more sales flyers and back out shopping we went.LOL
Kmart wasn't too bad either. They had the rug set I wanted to get. Three rugs for $30.00 and there was only one left of the design I wanted. It's only 10am maybe by this time so we drove over to Dicks Sporting Goods. We were determined to buy ourselves new shoes with the $15.00 coupon we had. But neither of us could find a pair that we really liked.And we must have tried on atleast 5 different pairs of shoes if not more. Lets see, after that we went to Gordman's. I didn't get anything there. But Shellie found Josh some shorts. Walmart wasn't too bad either. We managed to get in and get out fairly quickly with most everything that we went in there for.
When I got home Jake informed me that I had been gone for over 9hrs. LOL .. 2:45am-12:15pm. So tomorrow morning he will be going with us to the BX because they're giving out $20.00 gift cards for the first 100 in the door until Sunday morning. I am going to buy myself a writing tablet thing for editing pictures when I get the gift cards.
After a busy morning I came home and we ate lunch. I went up to watch my show but only football was on. I did manage to snag a little nap but woke up with just as much energy as I had earlier. So I re-arranged the family room and cleaned it real good. I was really looking for my keys..LOL But Darren found them on the piano of all places. I've been looking for a week for the dumb things. So I guess sprucing up the place helped find them..lol.
After shopping and Davids piano practice tomorrow I think we will set up Christmas decor. The tree will be going in the main living room infront of the window. Just so people can see a pretty tree from the street. After it's all set up I plan to take a picture and will post it on here.
Well I've managed to ramble on more than I thought. And I should get to bed. Because 3:40am comes early. Shellie will be here at 4:00am. LOL Wish us luck.
HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! and Saturday and Sunday!

Music makes his heart sing

David's new thing has been rollerblading thru the house and jumping off the step into the family room. Then he dashes over to the piano and plays a song, jumps up and rolls off again. This happens atleast 20 times a day. LOL with or without the rollerblades. But I think he is doing very well for only starting piano last Aug 30. Not even 3 months ago. So yes I think I have every right to brag.. LOL at the moment anyway. Well with further adieu may I introduce David Matthew Osier!! (but just so you know the camera was flustering him. He normally doesn't make this many mistakes.)

"Better Late Than Never"..........

Is a good little quote. Especially when you're a procrastinator like me. Jake had a good birthday. He turned the big 11 this year. We took him out to dinner to a place of his choice and he got to open his presents.

We got him the game he had been wanting but as you can see he was'nt very excited.

My mom sent a package too and Jake thought it was pretty funny that there was a hanger on top of the clothes. LOL " I got a hanger for my birthday! How did Gma know that's what I wanted?" But in that package she also sent a sweatshirt, a cool guitar shirt, and a real nice red sweater. He really likes the new clothes and wears them all the time.
I always have to add a picture of my moms gifts because she is the Tape & Ribbon Queen. She always sends nice gifts but makes you work for them...LOL..... Pull Jake!

Jake also recieved a Bday card from Gma O. She sent him money. Which he hasn't spent yet. I think he is saving up for something. But won't tell me what it is yet. Although I did tell the boys if they saved up half of the cost of a PSP, Darren and I would pay the other half. So I'm thinking he wants to save for that. And we just want to thank the Grandparents for the gifts that were sent.
The day after his bday is Oct 31st. This year I caved in and let the younger 2 boys go Trick-or- Treating. It was a beautiful evening so my friend Toni and i took our boys out. And we walked and walk and walked. So it was a good evening for us and the kids. We got a really long walk and they got candy. David figured out this year that he had never gone out on halloween. But by the end of the evening and walking for over 2 hrs I doubt he will want to go again. LOL

Tyler got to stay home with the Jenny girl and hand out candy. Which I think he enjoyed. And he got to play with a few neighbor kids afterwards.
