Spilled Milk Makes Me Cry!

Some of you know that I have had a terrible time sleeping lately. Last night, I didn't sleep at all.
So basically I have been up for over 24 hours.
(don't ask I how I am standing, because really I am not!)

I had a few things that I needed to get from Target today (one of them a sleep aid my dr. told me to get). On my way out the door I quickly got a sippy cup ready for Miss A (quickly being the operative word).
We were leisurely strolling through Target, Miss M writing things down on her Santa wish list.
I looked at the Halloween stuff that is now 75% off , looked at the Christmas things, shoes, dollar spot...
We decided it was time to check out and get a pretzel. I reached into my Coach purse/diaper bag only to pull out a
Soaking. Wet.Wallet.
Ahhh the sippy cup had dumped all 8 oz. of milk into my purse. I was sick. I wanted to fall on the floor and just cry, sob, scream out WHY ME, WHY MY COACH PURSE, WHY MY CAMERA, WHY MY CELL PHONE. (remember I have not had sleep in 24 hours - this was the last straw)

My new cell phone, my cnady stash/snack stash, diapers, wipes, camera, Miss A's favorite board books, Thanksgiving cards I WAS going to be mailing out to family, you name it what ever was in that purse gone. ruined. stinks of milk. I was numb when I turned to pay for my things, numb when I went to order Miss M's pretzel and cheese, numb when I was cleaning out my purse, throwing things away. Numb when a nice old lady yelled at me for leaving my child unattended in a shopping cart - mind your own busy "nice" nosy old lady - can't you see I am greaiving for my soiled coach purse? My camera? My phone? My cute Thanksgiving cards? Or better yet,
why don't you go sit down with my kids and help a mother out?

(picture milk dripping out the bottom of this purse - SAD right!?!?!)

And just so you know I am not really a materialistic person, but I do love my purse
(a gift from my sister) and well when you have something nice, you HATE to see
milk oozing out the bottom...

on another note, I came across this totally cute headband - and a free pattern to make it
so IF anyone out there knows how to make it, It would really cheer me up! (wink wink)
you can find it HERE.

SCORE/ Cute Decorations

November first I rolled out of bed quietly, not wanting to disturb the three other bodies in my bed (somewhere during the night Miss A and Miss M joined us). I quickly got ready to hit Target for their 50% off items (thanks Tammi for the tip!) I was on a mission to find the metal haunted house I had on my wish list.

I arrived shortly after the store opened and headed straight for the Halloween section.
And there. it. was.
I grabbed the first one I saw, then noticed there were several for me to choose from in three different sizes. I chose the medium one (although the large size was pretty cute, it had a witch flying over the top of it).
I leisurely strolled through the other 5-6 aisles of discounted Halloween goodies. I found a few other things and put some back.
I think my other favorite find was a package of three metal acorns for only $5.00!!!
Awesome score!

Also while I was in Utah my sister had me go into a Roberts - SO glad I did!
They had a sale going on there 50% off Fall/Halloween decorations.

1. My metal haunted house plus three cute ghosts I got for 50 cents! (each)
2. cute wooden haunted house my sister got be at Roberts
3. I got this cute Witch sign at Joann's also 50% off : )
4. Candy corn wreath from Joann's
AND the whole reason I went into Joann's was to buy fabric to make the Halloween Banner I saw on this blog Miss M is holding the banner in picture #5.
(also at Joann's I got Miss A's pumpkin costume for $12!!! you can't even make one that cheap)
6. Cute new rug (Thanks Stacy!)
7. One of the FUN acorns
8 and 9. decorations I already had - Miss M just wanted me to take pictures of them too.

Also at the Roberts store I got some cute Fall decorations. I REALLY wish there was

a Roberts here! (But I am sure Mr. K is glad there is not one here...easier on the
pocket book that way)

Happy Thanksgiving Month!

Super Tuesday...

Not so SUPER, I mean I thought I was registered to vote!? I KNOW I just updated it at the DMV when I was getting my new driver's license. Or am I just imaging that I did.
After 30 minutes of looking around and trying to find the right volunteer to help me, and a phone call, he did discover that I was in fact a registered voter, just hadn't been updated with my new address....BUT I did get my vote in!

And Marlee was SUPER while she had to wait through all of that, and she kept her baby sister SUPER entertained! And then we went to super target (ok it's not a super target just a grand one or something like that) and enjoyed a super pretzel, and we had a super time!
(enough supers already!!)

more family pictures

Usually I feel that Target does a much better job on their picture taking. I think our photographer was working so hard to get a smile out of Ava, that she forgot about the rest of us.
We would be holding our smiles for so long, that they ended up looking fake and frozen. Oh well. It is still nice to have these pictures, and I really do like the tone of the back ground...

Family Picture

Here is our first family picture with Ava- well taken by a "professional" (as professional as Target gets - but I do LOVE Target Studios!)
