too good to be true?

Almost!  I was looking through adds yesterday and Albertsons is having a sale on flour.  Here's the deal it is Pillsburry Flour, the 5 pound bag for $1.  This is crazy good!  In fact when I went shopping yesterday the everyday low price at Wal Mart was $2.38.  So to say that this is a good deal is an understatement!  There also is an explanation on homework for shopping over here!

Okay...here are some more!

My Favorite So Far...

This photo describes exactly how our attempt at family photos went tonight!  Thanks Amy for putting up with us!

Do you have a garage door opener in your car...

and do you also have a GPS system?  If so be careful.  I guess that a new thing is happening where people will go to an event that you are at (say a football game) break into your car and check the GPS system for "home".  They then will drive to your home and they have the garage door opener right there and will invade your home and steal your goods.  And because they have an idea as to how long you will be at the football game they know how long they have, approximately, until you get home.  So change your "home" address on your GPS to a nearby gas station or grocery store. That way when you need your GPS to get you home you will know how to get home from that location.  Just be careful out there!

Fry's Specials

This is the last day for some amazing deals at Fry's.  I just went and bought 6 types of items and spent $45.01 and saved $71.56.  (Remember this is without any coupons.  I know you can save even more but frankly I don't have the time for that.)  I didn't need any off it.  But man when they are giving it away might as well stock up!

Also if you can try to set aside some money for food storage as a lot of the "basics" (i.e. flour, sugars, baking goods) go on sale during the holidays and it is a great time to stock up!

Halloween 2009

The children had so much fun this year!  It was so neat to see the older two actually understand what it is all about!  Michelle went as Princess Belle.  Mason went as a Brasilian Soccer Player. Saige went as Princess Cinderella.  Gage went as a lion.  They were all so cute!  We went to Grandma and Grandpa Durham's trunk or treat on Thursday night and Grandma and Grandpa Moffitt's on Friday night.  On actual Halloween night Lonnie had to work and the kids and I stayed home.  It was a good night until we got egged.  Oh joy!  Not!  Anyhow it was a fun holiday and I'm excited for the others that are coming soon!!

Update

There is some good news that came out of the appointment today and that is that the doctor doesn't think that there is anything wrong with Mason.  He did order an MRI and some blood work to be done.  So I guess that we will see the results of that when they come in.  I did get a referral to a developmental pediatrician, which I think will be helpful as well.  I started thinking today that because he has been given the diagnosis of ADHD and they have been wanting to medicate him that perhaps they are wanting to see how he reacts to the medications before saying that there is anything else going on as well.  Who knows...  We still have our appointment with Dr. K over at Arizona's Children in the middle of December.  We will probably start him on medication, which we are a lot more comfortable with.  Not exactly excited about it but I do feel that it is time to see if medication will make his quality of life a little bit better. 

Thank you all for your support.  We really do appreciate all of the love and help we get from each of you.  Mason is such an amazing young boy and we are eternally grateful to have him in our family.  I love this little man more than words can say and I would not change him or our circumstances for anything.  So, the answer is NO, for those of you out there who have asked "don't you want to trade him in for a better model".  No I love Mason the way Mason is.  But yes, I would like to trade you in for a better model!  Ha!  People are amazing with what they will say.  Oh well.  Their loss on missing out on such a joyous little angel!

On another note we went to Lonnie's parents trunk or treat this evening and I could not have asked for better behaved children!  I am so proud of each one of them.  They use their manners so well!  Sometimes I truly wonder what I did to deserve to be entrusted with such beautiful and amazing little beings.  I love this "job" of being a mom.  What greater blessing is there out thee?  What greater reward than seeing your children happy is there?  I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to be a mother!
