Good Monday morning to you all. I'm sad, this morning we are leaving Lethbridge and our youngest daughter and heading home. We had a fabulous visit but only spending 2 nights and 3 days with her just isn't enough. We had a wonderful time together. Did some shopping, did some coupon scouting, I made her her favorite meals of coarse, and we had lots of catching up to do. She looks fabulous She is doing so well here in the very short time since she has moved to Lethbridge. I can't wait to see her again. We're bringing her down to Calgary on April 13th for the night. We're going to celebrate 3 things Ashley & Nikki's birthdays (both between the 1st and 15 of April) and our Anniversary on the 14th so it won't be long and we will be together again

Glad your daughter is doing well! Wow, lots to celebrate for you in April!

Safe travels!

Growing up DH never got anything for Easter and barely anything for Christmas, focus was always on Church. I always got a few treats and a new Spring dress from the Easter bunny and presents at Christmas. We do both with our kids. They go to Church but also get presents.

So far I've picked up some cute baskets (was going to re-use their old ones but saw a Thomas one that DS will love, so caved and got 2 new ones), some treats, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, hair clips, toy car. And then both are getting a new swim suit (they both need new ones so it's a 2 in 1) and a new outfit for Church.

Oh and we'll do a little Easter Egg hunt with these (saw them at one SDM for $3, meanwhile everywhere else was $6. Weird how SDM's can vary so much):

I love tapatalk but I can't copy and paste pics, so annoying! lol. I also can't see reps, wall posts or trade ratings (so if I dont respond to something for a long time, its because I probably haven't gotten it).

Anyhoo, here's a pic of the type of fruit basket/stand I want. It's more to hold fruit than to serve it.

maybe michaes? or pier 1? the latter might be a bit more expensive but if you have a coupon for michaels you might get a decent priced one. i got mine there quite a few years ago, but it isnt a 2 tier one.

i think dd2 knows about the easter bunny. or at least, has a feeling. when we were at the easter egg hunt there was a girl dressed up and the back of her costume wasnt done up at the top so her hair was showing, grace kept saying 'thats not the easter bunny that's a person mommy'. but everyone kept saying 'did you see THE easter bunny?" if that makes sense. she questions EVERYTHING to pieces. even santa...i said to my husband i bet next year is the end (and she'll only be 5 next year).

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try Michaels today. I was going to head out after dropping DD off but I realized my cell was dead so now it's changing and I'll go this afternoon.

[bargain_hunter_lola]

My DD is 4 and I'm betting I'll have awhile before she questions the Easter bunny. lol. She's not too observant right now. lol

[gracesmommy]

if you get the flyers i think there's a 40% off coupon in it for any 1 regualr priced item. don't quote me on that though

[gracesmommy]

i can hear the girls having a tea party downstairs in the playroom. i spent 2 hours organizing and cleaning it the other day. i'm scared to see what it looks like hehe

Congrats, cabbie, on the new job.
That's one job I wouldn't/couldn't ever do - no way could I sit on my arse all day and sell on the phone! What product/service will you be hawking?
Good luck!
