Our Little Cottage

Catching Up....Again!

Arlee and I went on our outing.  It wasn't anything too awfully exciting, but we got to spend time together...which is what is important!

Once Danny (finally) got home, Arlee and I headed out.  We had to stop by the Speedway gas station to top off our gas tank.  Danny said that we would be able to save .05 per gallon with his SpeedyCard.  Arlee got a MilkShake Hershey's drink and I got a cappicino....Mmmmmm.

After our gas station stop...we were off to Goodwill!  We arrived at about 8pm.  We only had 1 hr to look around and try things on.  I ended up leaving with 4 dresses for myself.  I also got a denim shirt to go over one of the dresses.  I found 2 really pretty smaller dresses that I will be making into aprons for Arlee.  She also picked out a toy for herself.  I spent $8 and some change for everything.

Once checked out, we headed over to my friend's house.  I made her a basket with a loaf of homemade bread (out of the bread maker she had passed on to me), a loaf of zucchini bread, a bag full of beans, a cucumber, and some fudge that I made.  I was so happy to see her.  I haven't seen her in some time.  This was the first time I've seen her new baby as well.  Oh....she is just the sweetest thing! 

My friend, Holli, had taken her little one to the dr earlier that day.  Poor little baby had to get FOUR shots!  Needless to say, she was asleep for most of my visit!  I had such a great time just sitting and holding her.  Oh to be able to have another little one of my own....(big sigh, and a little sniffle)....but I won't go into all that.

Arlee and I stayed at Holli's house until about midnight!  I seem to always stay late when I go over to her house.  When we got back home, Arlee and I had some of the chili that I had put in the crock pot earlier on that day.  Oh it was soooo good!

On Saturday, I was lucky enough to spend a few hours out with my Frosty!  He was excited!  And, so was I!  We headed out and went to a new Dollar Tree.  It was HUGE!  Lots of great stuff!  I got a bunch of stuff to use for school!  I was quite excited about that!  Frost was able to spend some of his allowance money there, too.  He was happy that he was able to get so much from there.

We also went shopping at WalMart.  I wanted to see what all they had on sale for back to school.  I got some notebooks and folders and a few other supplies.  We also had to get a couple of birthday presents for a party that they were invited to.  I had a good time just looking around.

After leaving WalMart we decided to go back to the Dollar Tree again to get gift bags and to take another look at their school stuff.  I had to also find a few little things to take home to the other children.

Once we were done there (for the 2nd time) we opted to stop and take dinner home for everyone.  I stopped at Lee's Chicken for Danny and me.  I then pulled thru McDonald's for the kids' meals.

It was another great day spending time with one of my children!

Today, I took Arlee and Frosty to a birthday party for a couple of friends of theirs.  I'm sure they are having a good time.  Zach, Liam, and I came back home and had some ice cream.

Now, I need to get all of Frosty's stuff ready for his boy scout camp!  I have to drop him off up town tomorrow morning around 8:30 am.  I won't see him again after that until late Thursday night.  I will definatly miss him a lot!  He had so much fun last year when he went.  He can not wait to get there this year!  He will be able to do archery, bb guns, fishing, swimming and so much more!  I know that he's just going to have a blast!

Well, I better be getting his things ready instead of sitting here at this computer!

I wish you all a wonderful week!

Thanks for dropping by!
