Today was a really good day! Yay, I knew one was coming soon! LOL  I cleaned all day yesterday so my house was even clean too :)  I didn't really have any plans for today. I wanted to go to the commissary and px to pick up soda and a birthday present. I was talking with a friend on gmail and we decided to go check out Texas Thrift. Its a newer thrift store in town. I remembered hearing that on Mondays one color tag is marked to .99  We had SO much fun. Crazy how much you can laugh in a thrift store. haha, we found some awesome clothes :)  I think we were there for almost 3 hours and we each only bought a few things. We stayed so long, I didn't have time to go to the other stores before I had to pick up Lily.  Oh well there is always tomorrow.
 
Oh yeah, the whole reason for going to the thrift store was to find things for Ella for her Red Ribbon week at school. There are two days where she has nothing to wear.  Wear your favorite team shirt day(we aren't big into sports), and camo day.  I found a cowboys jersey, it was still $5! She might just skip that day. I didn't find any cute camo for her either.
 
After we got home from picking up Lily I checked all the messages on my phone (I hate forgetting it at home!) I had a message from a girl on the enrichment committee saying I needed to have 3-4 crafts FINISHED for fantastic friday(instead of super saturday) by thursday! Oh boy..I dont even have any ideas...and I really don't want to go spend any money. I think i'm going to try this canvas project I saw on pinterest. You print your picture on tissue paper and then somehow apply that right onto the canvas. It looked pretty neat. I also put together this map thing i've seen on pinterest. I had to tear apart one of joes projects to use the frame. Hopefully he forgets about it :)
 
Love them <3 p="p">
 This is the map thing. Its all the states we've lived in
 Tomorrow is wear all red day.
Ella wanted red socks.
I guess she will have to settle for almost pink :)
 Jack is a little monkey!
 This is what I came up with for camo day. I really hate camo. Its ugly. So I just added a little ruffle and some hearts to a jean skirt. very loosely so I can rip it off when we are done :)  I think i'll try and find an old shirt to sew a camo heart on too.
 Halloween cards from Grandma Ida
 Yee haw!
 Lunch


 My finds for the day. .99cents each, even the shoes!

 The kids broke the trampoline net..good thing daddy will be home soon!

Just something I overheard that I want to remember.. Lily was talking to Ella about how to make an i. "you just make a lion with a polka dot Ella!"  I love that she calls a line, a lion :)
