I saw the cutest Halloween witch the other night.. I had to have her!!!! Everyone knows that I add a new witch every year to my collection... I called Heather and she told me to turn off the TV and don't buy it.. I did with great sadness...
That night and the next day, that is all I could think about.. She would look so cute in my new basement.
I remembered that I got ten dollars a week to spend or save to buy what I wanted.. Forget getting my nails done.. I would suck it up and get the witch and then save again for my nails later... I can do that.. I was so excited to buy her... ( I haven't spent one dime in over a week in a half.. Opened a savings account and saved 26.00 last week on food. )
I got online to buy my wonderful new addition..... I was so excited....... I told everyone at work what I was going to buy and how cute she was going to be and my grandkids would love her.................On the website.. I can't find her..... I'm looking every where for her!!!!! SHE HAD SOLD OUT!!!!! Oh my heart!!!!!( for those who don't know me, know this is a big deal).
I'm so sad.... Not in the picture for me this year... So my nails can be done and life will be good... However I will think about her through out the fall season which starts in next week.....
Can't wait to get my decorations out.... Love the Fall!!!

Back to school!!
Well everyone is in back to school in Alpine School District.... The buses are rolling... New school clothes, back packs, kids are so excited....
Thom started driving on Wed for the 7th graders. Thursday everyone but the kindergardeners were on the bus. He was happy to see all of the kids and how they have grown during the summer. He said everyone looked spify in their new clothes....
Jasxon came over this morning to show off some of his school clothes... It brought memories of when my kids would come and and do a fashion show for my mom.. It was so much fun... I can't believe that I now get to enjoy this every year now.
He starts school on Wed. He has been such a good helper to me this past year with our remodel and with the yard work this summer so I told him I would buy his back pack for school. So this morning we were off looking.. (Heather this doesn't count, as I told him long ago that I would buy this for him). Nothing at Shopko... so off to Target..... As we got closer to the back packs he was looking for the "right one". There were many choices to choose from... Transformer, GI-Joe... Well, GI-Joe won hands down. It lights up in the front.
He looks so big with it on his back.... He came home and showed Thom and I didn't take a picture of it. So you will have to wait till Wed when he comes over again and I'll post one... He told me as he left he would remember everything that first day so he could tell me all about it....
Riley starts school on Monday at Challenger again this year and she has new clothes as well..
Shaylee starts school on the 31 of August...
I can't believe that they are going to school... They aren't old enough... Next thing I'll know is that they will be off to High School.

Update!!!
Don't everyone freak out that I'm updating..... I know it's been a few months.....
I was reading Heather's blog and liked what she is going to do for a year. So I signed up to do it with her.. (It's always better for me to do something this big with someone else.)
I don't know if I will blog about it as much as she is but I will write about a few things that I learn as I go...
One thing that I thought about that might help you all who read this to save money.
When you go to the store and at the bottom of the receipt it will sometimes tell you how much you've saved. Well what do you do with that money?
Why not open a savings account and deposit the savings that you have saved into savings so that you are really saving it. I'm going to open a grocery savings account today on my way home from work. Each time I go to the store and have savings I'm then going home and transferring that money to my account. I will keep you posted on how much I save... I'm excited about this.
Then I will truly be saving that money..... This is going to be an adventure.....Anyone else like to join us?
