Free Movie Tickets

Keep on the lookout for boxes of General Mills cereal that offer a Free Movie Ticket. It takes two boxes to get one ticket. I just bought some Cinnamon Toast Crunch at WM. Though I usually get off brand cereal (tastes just as good), I still consider this a good deal. That's how our recent date night to see Avatar was funded!

What are we doing to our kids? lol

For good measure

My parents visited last week and brought some goodies for us. I really appreciate all the sewing my mom has done for me and my family. I've been the recipient of numerous Halloween costumes as a child, some of my favorite pot holders are ones that she made, and some pajama pants that are well worn. The boys also enjoy the fruits of this wonderful talent. Bruce, most recently, got this hat and mittens.


We've been enjoying some deer summer sausage, canned relish and peppers, and pots and pans from my dad.

Henry enjoyed the head massage Mom was giving him. I've never seen him so content.

Which One?

I found a good deal on some curtains. Even better is a choice of three different styles that coordinate. I picked up a solid red and tan/cream/red stripe. There is also a solid tan. Here are the pictures...what do you think? I have our sliding glass door to buy panels and valences for, the window seat to put valences on (or is that too much?...I wanted to make a cushioned seat and some coordinating pillows), and I can re-cover our chairs to match. That makes three definite areas to choose prints for. If I end up using all three styles is that gonna be too matchy, matchy?

Just for clarification, I threw up both curtains to see how they looked...I'm not planning on mixing them like they are pictured.
