Later that night we kept our holiday tradition of going to the movies and saw Madagascar 2. It was cute. Porter actually sat through the whole thing which is a first for him.
Tomorrow is my 3rd son, Conner's birthday. And right now I have about 20- 13 year olds in the basement. Can you say B.O.? Oh my good golly. I told Conner to open all the windows and spray air freshener. I know they're all getting use to their changing bodies but sheesh, would it hurt to use a little deo????????
Today I participated in Black Friday. My only store I wanted to hit was Joann's fabrics. Well apparently that's were everyone else in the state was heading too. This was my day:
Arrived at Joann's at 8:45 a.m. (with Porter)
Immediately took a number. # 14
They were on 44. So I thought, ok, they have to go all the way to 100 then I'll only be 14 short spaces away.
Not so! They were on 44 A. I had 14 C.
Realize I'm going to be a while so I open a coloring thingamagig for Porter to play with.
Oops. Now I'm stuck here.
10:00. Start to panic cuz Porter is no longer having fun :(
Decide to abandon my cart and take him to McDonald's for breakfast.
Eat, Hayden arrives.
11:00, go to Circuit city. Hayden buys himself a digital camera.
11:30 go back to Joann's. Now they're on #84 A. Cart is still fine in it's little corner.
12:00. Take Porter home.
Call the store. They are now on the B's.
Go with Hayden to Best buy. Buy a new router for the house.
12:30. Go back to Joann's. They're on # 80 B. Yeah!
12:30-1:10. Listen to someones grumpy husband complain about the wait. (who brings their husband to stores like this? I wanted to kick both of them!)
1:10. # 14 C is called!!!!!!!!! Try and make my way to the cutting table through swarms of crazy people like me.
Old man John cuts my fabric. (odd person to be working here)
1:30. All checked out and on my way home to eat leftovers.
Was it worth it you ask? Well I saved $254.00. So I think it was.
This is the fun flannel I got to make all my kids quilts.
And this is the apron I'm going to make for a certain someone this year
Out of this darling fabric.
Whew! This was a long post. Thanks for enduring.

oh yes, I know what you mean.
HAd the Beehives over the other night to make faux-nuts. They asked if they should take off their shoes, I say, yes please. They gather round me at the stove and I am gettin whiffs of the nasty sour foot smell. I wanted so bad to tell them, screw my carpet get your skanky feet back in those shoes!
I cannot even imagine what those boys must have smelled like. Bless you.
I have heard those JoAnn sales are crazy good, but I didn't think it would be that LONG a wait.
good deals tho! fAbric can be so expensive I dont see how people say it is cheaper to make your own stuff.
my comment was almost as long as your poat!!
That is UNREAL! You are a brave woman. I LOVE the apron pattern and fabric is dang cute! I read Mike that part about the boys in the basement & we were bothing laughing. Too funny - ya crack me up.
Who brings their husband?!? Kris would have broken out in hives! I can't believe you saved that much money! You are very diligent. I would have quit.
Thanks for keeping up you blog. I love it! We did have fun on Thanksgiving. Family is great.
Love, Mom
