Pumpkin Pickin'

Last Tuesday everyone was in town at once and had no other plans so we headed to the pumpkin patch. We tried a new one by the zoo and I liked it a lot better. Italia had lots of fun and I will do a 2nd post my pics were having trouble so the train ride that she got to go on will have to be another post.






They had a little maze for the kids and tons of pumpkins Italia loved running and looking at all the pumpkins.

Horses.

So Italia loves horses. Something she gets from her dad cause I sure don't like them. I don't know if I would say I hate them but its close they just scare me being so big and I always hear of people getting hurt on them so I just don't like them. Donny's parents have horses and Donny has been talking about taking Italia up to ride horses for awhile now but he has been so busy with working out of town that he just hasn't done it yet. So since he had a few days off in a row and we were no longer sick he decided to go and I tagged a long to make sure Italia was safe:) I am a big time worryer!

Wonderful DAY!!

So there was some good coupons and sales on some stuff that we needed so I was determined to go today and get some good deals. Italia has been eating these quaker oat chewy granola bars that I picked up at Sam's for Donny's hunting trip but she only likes the peanut butter ones:) And the other day I was thinking that I really needed to keep my eye open for cheap pasta.





I got:
10 boxes Chewy Granola bars (mostly peanut butter)
4 boxes grownup granola bars:)
6 boxes instant oatmeal (Donny eats this most morings cause its fast easy and filling)
20 boxes pasta (smart taste and whole wheat)
1 hormel complete meal
2 packages bacon
some apples
some bananas
before sales and coupons total $145.92
after sales and couponstotal $18.05

Italia wanted her pic taken after I took the coupon pic
So have you seen the movie 7 brides for 7 brothers? If not I am sorry you have been deprived of one of the worlds best movies:) well on the movie there is a song that says "Wonderful, wonderful day" many times and so now Italia goes around singing "Wonderful DAY!" It is way cute except for when she is singing it in her crib when she should be sleeping. The other day she insisted that I take a "cheese" of "Wonderful Day". So these pics are of her singing and dancing to Wonderful Day.

Cookie Mess!

Well since we have been sick me having the worst of it I have been laying around doing nothing. On Thursday Italia was feeling all the way better and I was very tired and feeling yucky and Italia was full of pent up naughty energy. I was to tired to do much about it so I just let her run a muck, destroying everything in sight. So Friday I was determined to give some things to help her get her energy out. I took her to dance class and she did so much better this time. Then she didn't take a nap which is really unusual for her after dance usually she is super tired but I guess because she had been lying around so much for the past week that she was not ready to take a nap:) So I was determined to make sugar cookies with her that day. Please don't mind my messy kitchen like I said I have been sick.






She had a lot of fun making the mess or should I say baking cookies.

been a while

Iknow it has been awhile but I don't have anything good to post. Donny came home on tuesday last week a day early cause his back was hurting. He has been to the chiropractor a couple of times and is feeling better. He is now back in Challis. He was going to have a long weekend and we had a lot of stuff we were planning on getting done but then he hurt his back so we thought well maybe I can get some of the projects I want to do while he plays with Italia. Well then we all got sick it started wednesday night and by thursday we all had it. Luckily it is not the flu just a cold and I think I had the worst of it. I am still trying to get over it so we haven't done anything and both Italia and I missed our dance classes. I did go to this other work out class its Zumba it is pretty much latin style dance arobics I liked it I will be going as much as I can.
