Can you say LaLaloopsy?
That is what is on top of Kaylee's Christmas List. She wants Lalaloopsy's, and she wants them all. She is getting the twin set that is at ToysRUs from Santa. They are the cutest rag dolls and have the most unique names. We saw them on the shelves at Target back in July and she went straight to them and got so excited. From what I have heard from the toy stores they are a very hot item, and if you see it on the shelf and you want it grab it because it won't be there again. And that is so true, all the shelves that I saw today are sold out. The one that she really likes is called Spot Splatter Splash and I can not find her anywhere. This is what she looks like:

Skyler hasn't really asked for much this year. On top of his list is Stinky the Garbage Truck which Santa is bringing:

This is the funniest truck I have ever seen. He says over 90 phrases and he burps and toots. Skyler busted up laughing when he pressed it's tummy and it tooted and said "Oh excuse me". Also on his list are Iron Man 2 figures and of course Transformers and a few Handy Manny items.

We are getting the kids Nintendo DS Lites for Christmas. This has been something Skyler has been asking for and this year Wal-Mart is having for $89 on Black Friday and we have some gifts cards to use, so we won't have to pay for it. They are also having a lot of games for $10, along with Target and ToysRUs. I am buying my nieces from her for $50, she doesn't use it and that is going to be Kaylee's and it's in extremely good condition. I have to say this year I have really watched the sale ads starting since October and the deals that I have gotten are so much better than what Black Friday is going to be. I am a bargain shopper and if there is a better deal I will find it.

I sold a whole bunch of jewelry that I don't wear at all to the pawn shop and wasn't expecting much, maybe $150 I got $435! So that bought Christmas to us. I just have a few stocking stuffers and a few things yet to get, but Christmas is taken care of. Kaylee is getting the Olivia 2-in-1 Real World Play set and family set, Blythe loves littlest pet shop the scooter one, Plum Puddings purple car from Strawberry shortcake, and the twin LaLaloopsy's and the other from Skyler. Skyler is getting Stinky the Garbage truck, an iron man trio set that has Iron Man, the bad guy and then the bad iron man in it along with War Machine, a Transformers double pack from ToysRUs, Handy Manny workshop and Handy Manny dump truck from Kaylee. They both are getting the DS Lites. They will get some coloring books an of course some things in their stockings but I have a feeling they are going to be super excited when they open up their presents.

We are also going into Louisiana the day after Christmas to see our family down there. We haven't been in for a Holiday down there since Kaylee was 7 months old. And David really wants to get back down there. He had wanted to go in for Christmas and I had some reservations about that. One I didn't want to have to pack Christmas gifts in the truck and try to squeeze two suitcases of luggage in the car (that was so not going to happen), two I like being at home in our house opening up presents, and three my grandpa is not doing that well and I just have a feeling that this maybe his last Christmas, I am hoping not but he isn't in that great of shape. I don't think I could of been able to live with myself if I had missed his last Christmas. Well it's late and I am off to bed. Have a good nite everyone! Talk to you soon.

Where did November come from?

Yep me keeping up with blogging is not going to be my thing I guess. I can honestly say life is busy and I would rather read then be on the computer. This year has went by soooooooo FAST! Thanksgiving is just a little over a week away. There are so many things to be thankful for.

Skyler got student of the month for October. We were very proud of him. Since last David's mom and dad came in for Halloween. We had a good visit with them. They enjoyed taking the kids trick or treating. Skyler and Kaylee got lots of candy and are still eatting on it.

I have gotten most of the Christmas shopping done just a few things left to get then it will be done. I have looked at some of the black friday ads and there are just a few things that I am going to get other than that not much. I can generally find good deals on things before then.
