OUR SWEET DEAL.

you know when your husband is a dutch man when he:

sees a deal on renchs and buys 10 of the same one and says you never know when one breaks
goes to an auction and tells you he is not planning on buying anything and then comes home with a truck load of stuff that you really dont need.
when he is cheap on his clothing and buys expensive tools.
when you are in walmart and need to get diapers and get the ones on sale. to him it is a sweet deal. let me tell you about this sweet deal and the amount we bought. we are in taber when we had a denist appt. which went well then we went to walmart and i said to hugh we need diapers for holly. so we go to the baby section and get the diapers so i said they do not have size 2 which holly needs. so we get size 3 and hugh asks how many boxes i said just two because that would be 400 diapers. which would last a long time. then he decides to buy all the size 3 which ends up being 4 boxes and then he goes on and gets size 4 and that is 2 boxes because that is all they had and then size 5 and size 6. which i cant remeber how many of those but we just spent 250 dollars on diapers. which will last us for i am not sure how long but long enough that i gave my mom and dad a box of size 3 for nan and taylor so that they could get on this sweet deal. the SWEET DEAL was 31.00 for these boxes 6 dollars cheaper then the othere boxes of the same brand which is huggies. well if you are going to walmart and need diapers do not take my husband he will buy the whole store because it is a sweet deAL. MY HUSBAND IS A BIG DEALS GUY. he loves deals. now dont get me wrong i like deals too like 4 dollars here 5 dollars there but i dont try to buy the whole store. he also loves rainchecks because he can go in anytime and get that same price. he is so funny. so i am sure if there is going to be a disater i will be safe from not running out of diapers. we now have almost a year surpply of diapers for one kid. great. i hope we get to go through them all. so that is my sweet deal for the week . stay tune for more sweet deals that i find in the coming weeks

THE MOVIE I REALLY LIKE

So as all of you know that Twlight has come out on video. Wionderful!!!! Faboulous!!!!!!!!!
i have to say that i have not read the books. a shocker right. but when you have 5 kids there is not a lot of time to read anything. even my scriptures it gets touchy some times. so i have not found the time toread the books. which i think if i have time towatch tv or movies i can read a book. anyways so we go to taber and we are done at the denisit and everything is good there. we go to walmart and i was getting stuff on my list everything was there, the movie Bolt for the kids, stuff to make a blanket, diapers,etc. but at the bottom of my list there was the movie Twlight. but i could not find it anywhere and the walmart in taber is not big at all. so i go and find a sales person and they said that they are sold out. great the one movie i really want and they are sold out. so i decide to ask when they might get another shipment. well they where not sure now i am really sad .. i can rent it and they are all gone. so when i get home i decide to call lethbridge and medicine hat walmarts and guess what they all had them. i call hugh who was in medicine hat and he says do i have to get the movie and i said yes because i liked it and you bought Australia movie with hugh jackman. anyways so he gets it for me. wow it is somuch better the second time i really like it. so now i think i am going to read the books. can wait. i understand that they will be different but how can you get the whole book in a movie with out getting people bored. which i would not . i love these kind of movies. anyways if you are thinking of getting the movie. get it. it is worth it. i have to recommend bolt too it is good one you can sit with the prophet and still feel good. well anyways have a great day.

here is the first of three blogs today.

have you ever had those kind of days that you would like to forget or had never ever happened well that is mine today. one i wish i had my camera so i could take some pictures. lets start today at when it all started.

6am hugh gets up and goes to work. he has finally is getting his own breakfast or it just might be taht i have been up with kids during the night.
6:31am katelyn wakes up and informs me that she needs to go to the bathroom and then process to tell me that her ear hurts and when are we going to see the doctor.
7am now i have been up for a good 1/2 hour i start getting justins lunch ready i would be getting katelyn but she is sick as i have stated up at around 6:30am

7:15 am i am trying to get justin up for school and not trying to wake up the other 3 (katelyn is still up and she says she can not sleep anymore)

8am justin is finally got up and is on the bus. which is good he has missed tomany day of school. 2 to be extact.

8:30am all the other kids get up and i am ready for bed again. i am gettiing katelyn and karla breakfast and jam my little finger in the dish wash. dont ask me how but i manage todo that. anyways now i have a blood blister on my finger which hurts.

9am i call the doctors to see if i can get katelyn in. yes 11:45am i can be home for justin who gets out of school around 2pm
9:15am i am on the internet which seems to not be working on our home computer and i did not want to go down stair to get the lap top. so i waited it out for a good 30mins which i long when you have a whole house to clean. so 30mins pass and now i am getting fustrated but still not wanting to travel all the way down starts to get the lap top. so i decide to wait it out and make some flowers for the hats i am going to sell. which are so cute. so i am doing that and waiting.

10am i finally decide to go and get the lap top as i am doing this jamie decides to follow me and ask for some paper, he only asked for one so when i give him about 5 he only takes one and tells me he does not want the others which i said why not and then he decides to throw all the rest of them on the floor well i was nto happy so i pick them up and bring them up for the girls. then i get the computer up and katelyn asks me why i am using theis and i tell her that i need to pay the bills so they get paid.

1015 i am done paying bills which took less time but i think this blog is geting so long. so i am speeding it up.

1030 am i am telling the kids to go and get dressed. and i need to go to the doctors. i am looking up stuff for close to my heart which i sell. get scrapbooking stuff and stamping stuff. we make life easy. and was pricing out stuff that i would like to buy. anyways.

1045 i look at the clock and relize that i need toget going if i am going to be there on time for the doctor. so i get the kids in the van and i get goingto town. then half way there the kids say they are hungry so i figure if i get to town at 20 after 11 i will go to get some donut holes at rolling pin bakery. best place. so i get in there and i order three dozen donut wholes and get them in three bags so the kids have their own. great idea.
1145 i get to the doctors holly gets hungry and so i feed her the kids are playing and having a great time with their donuts. then the lady at the desk calls us in and i am still feeding holly so i have to stop feeding holly and take the kids. well we get there and katelyn has an ear infection and karla needs to drink juice and have rest. yah right not will a 21/2 year old. well anyways i go and get to medicine. so wego to the grocery store and the kids insits on haveing the small baby carts that the store has so i have one and katelyn and jamie are sharing. karla is with me. so it is dollar days in IGA and so i got some stufff that was on sale.

so i am leaving town and decide to call hugh to tell him i am leaving town. i ask if he needs anything and he says no. well we get off and then 2 minutes later he calls and says to go and get the van washed which i did not want too. anyways i get there to get the van washed and while i was gettgin the door up jamie gets his fingers hurt in the window in our van i am like not today. that is all i need so i go and check what has happened and his finger is hurting but all right. so i go and get the van in. and start to wash it jamie is stillin the front set and playing with the lights then he starts to open the door so i go over by now i have had half of the van cleaned. i tell him to keep the door shut. then all of a sudden there is water going on my legs and in my face and all i can see is a hole in the hose so i ahve to stop the water which i had just put in another toonie. so i go into the place and tell the owners and then they came out and i tried to find the hole but could not. then she asked if i put in any money and i said yes a toonie, so they give me back my toonie and tells me to go to the other stall. okay. so i go and quickly was the van because i do not want it to happen aagin. i am wet from the knees down and so it is no fun. well i leave forgetting that i promisedto rent some movies because it was friday. so i remember when i get home but the kdis have not remember.

240pm it is now this late in the day as you can see i had a not so great day but not so bad aleast i can laugh at this day and i hope ican laugh at the next days.

now i need to go and wash the walls that my kids decieded to color on with markers. and they colored their faces as well. karla says pretty right mom. all i could do was laugh and take pictures but katelyn and karla would notlet me take their whole faces. good thing i bought the washable markers, who ever invetned those are great and smart parents

This week of sick kids

i thought that our sickness was going away until this week where i have 4 out 5 kids sick. thank goodness i am not sick but i have my two boys who have an ear infection and also strep throat. so both on medicine. and then i have the 2 older girls sick with running noses and coughs that i thought only smokers had. so it is a orange drink family now this week and not chocolate milk. so just wait until next week and i could be talking about me being sick again which is not fun at all.

so needs to say taht i have them all at home and my home is a disaster because i have about 4 hours of sleep from all the hackers in my house. i was up almost every hour and not with a new born but with the other kids. i would go and cuddle with one in one room just thinking the others have finally gone to sleep then about an hour later i am up getting drinks and then cuddleing with that kid then i finally get to sleep and my clock in my room says 6:51 am and i have only 9 minutes until my alarm goes but i decided to have it shut off and called the bus driver so they know the kids are not on. well to my disappointment they were already gone and so i had to get up just before it came to our house and tell me that the kids where not on. i am hoping that the medicine will work and the two kids who go to school on a daily base will go so i get a couple of hours to nap with the other sick one. my piece of advice wash your hand always. well igot to go becaus the one who is not on medicine is bugging me for some paper and a pen to write. which i need to get. well everyone stay healthy.

Why i should not stay up after 8pm

i felt it to day. i should not stay up after 8pm. i just could not get up this morning. i had to drag my self out of my warm bed to get my kids out of their own bed. so they could go to school. and then i had to do some stuff on the internet then i need to run to town because my hubby wanted more fruit to make his own fruit juices. which i am not sure how they will turn out but i hope that they turn out to be good or i will have wasted so much money on stuff that no one liked.

i also want to thank cheryl for making those cute winter hats for us this christmas and then gave me the idea to make them because last night i got my first order and i am so excited. so i had to go out and buy more stuff to make them which i got some cool colors. so any one wants them the are so cute. so help me find a name for them i am thinking K and C inspirations. what do you think cheryl? let me know. they are so cute and cheryl says she is never creative well i am giving her credit for them because she thought of it.


happy birthday to natalie who is an inspiration to me too and i cant wait for her to write books too so i can read them because they willbe good. glad she came down to mom and dads so we could see them when dad was gone on business. anyways have a great day and hope all goes well. but i need to finish cleaning the house so i can go out to a date with my hubby so we will see how far i will get with 5 kids. got to run love all the readers out there who check my blog somedays it is interesting and some of mine might be boring but i will have more to write when my life settles down.

here is my new hair cut.

The day we went to ag expo and the movie Bolt

I will start my blog by explaining what Ag Expo is. it is a place where all different kinds of business get to gether in a big building in lethbridge. and it is for farmers. so it is sorta boring but we try to go every year with hugh and us the kids. this time we went on the friday and it was fun. but it was a long day for the kids . they enjoyed running upt o the new equipment and trying to drive it. the boy espically liked it. but by 3:30pm the kids had enough and i had enough of running after kids who did not listen which i wished they had. so we decided to leave.

we told the kids if they did not listen we would not go to the movie. well they listen and we went to the movie Bolt in 3D. which was totally cool. i just loved it. both hugh and i had never been to a 3D movie so it was new for all of us. all the kids sat and watched. jamie our third did not like to wear the glasses he said that ,"it was scary." so he watched it blurry. which was to bad. but all the other kids wore them. even hugh wore them and he looked silly. which i had to laugh everytime i looked he way. so with 5 kids there i have to say that was our highlight of the day.

it was hard for the kids to get up in the morning today for school. we lost that precouis hour of sleep it just disappeared which i miss. anyways when i woke up this morning i could not believe it was 7am when it is so dark out side. i wished i could have slept longer. anyways i need to have a nap or go to bed earlier. well nothing else to write i am going to put my first picture on here and it is my hair cut. so i hope you like it.

The Best Hair Cut ever

This past thursday i went to get my hair cut . the last time that i went was oct 1 2008 so i was so due to have a hair cut. it was great. hugh watched the kids and i went to the hair dresser and got it cut short. i have 5 kids so i need something that i can wash put some hair product in and go. that is my life always on the go. so when i got home i thought that the kids would see that i got a hair cut . but no such luck. they did not even notice. which is to bad. but when i finally told them how they liked my hair cut katelyn said why would i cut my hair. and i told her that i needed one so i did not look like a shaggy dog. anyways i have been looking into getting my hair dressing and you know what. it is only going to cost between 5000.00 and 7000.00 dollars to go and 9 months or 37 weeks which will be fun. i am thinking that i might start next september and go until june. i will still have 2 kids in school but i will have also a 1 year old who will not be nursing. which will be good. i wish i could start now because that is all i have been dreaming about is cutting peoples hair and owning my own salon. but i have not dreamed about cutting the stars hair yet. that must be when i really started to go to school . i am excited but also i am scared. i am going to be the oldest person there not counting the teachers. anyways i will keep you up to date on how it is going when i start and i hope i dont make anymistakes. then i will cut all of my families hair and all their dies too. cant wait. anyways the week is in full swing now that the kids are in school but both jamie karla and i where tired because we all had naps today whichi for me i think i felt like i slepted only 20 mins but was two hours. it is like i closed my eyes and i was out. i was so tired. anyways i am better now and i need to get supper going and get the kids ready for family home evening. we have been doing it steady for two months so i am not going to break our streak even hugh has been asking about it. so it is going well. i will tell you all about it tomorrow.
