Only 75 or less days to go... Let's see if I can find anything exciting for today... Yesterday I forgot to write about that my Avon order arrived... So, we are all stocked up on our usual... I wanted someone close to me and I think the gal I found is like 2 blocks away... How cool is that? I can't wait to use the new Strawberry and Guava shower gel... It smells sooo good... I couldn't pass it up at $0.99! This morning I ran to the hardware store... Turns out there were 4 washers and 4 bolts missing to the toddler bed... So, I took one of the washers as guide for width and then guessed on length needed... I guessed perfectly and now we have a nice solid toddler bed... Luckily it took standard hardware because I haven't been able to find it online any where... It was a Christmas Present in December 2002... I order Monkey a Thomas Night Light (had online gift card code)... No where in town sells them... We had a el cheapo generic one but it didn't last and was very BRIGHT for his small room... I did a test run to my oldest son's program... They had to change where I pick him up because of an incident on Thursday afternoon... Now I pick him up and drop him off at the same door when driving... I'm reimbursed for mileage by the district so I need to know how far I drive... Well, today I had to deal with something I tried to avoid... Everything when things melt we eventually enter MUD season... That is when the snow melts instead and the snow hasn't grown and makes muddy spots in our yard... I purchased the children's MUD books (rain/farm boots) early so I would be prepared and they cost 1/2 the price because I wasn't at the mercy of the retail industry.. I had to buy them last where they were still available not who had the best price... It is not fun cleaning chunks of mud off intricate character designs and out of Velcro closures on snow boots... Well, I sent the children out thinking oh the mud probably isn't out yet but will be here soon glad I have those boots... Well, 2 of the 3 came in caked with mud... They then proceeded to track mud all over the back entry, bathroom, kitchen and part of the carpeted areas of downstairs before I caught them and rounded them up back into the bathroom to be washed up... So, there I was very unhappy mopping up mud and scrubbing boots AGAIN! We took out our new MUD boots that had been stored in the closet till it we could use them... I had the children pose for a picture after all the mud had been cleaned up... Aren't they adorable? 
Notice the dinosaur in the lower right corner... My 5 yr old insisted he had to be in the photo even though he had no new boots to show... ::wink::
Last year I thought it would be cute or whatever if they were all different designs... This year everyone has standard issued what I like to call Farm Boots... Pull on solid black with orangish bottoms... No need to worry if the child is boy or girl... I just find the pair that fits them... Means less boots to buy... They are going to be caked in mud so design/color really isn't a concern... I'm thinking of picking up a pair for myself for when we go on walks and encounter puddles... I always end up with wet feet since my children all have boots... Just never thought I would need boots because I purposely AVOID the puddles... Now I can stomp right through them all of us together... ::grin::
