So, we've been laying low around here with my sick boy. Yesterday he perked up and today I think he's back to normal. Caroline has been a good girl. I know she's been bored out of her mind being home bound all weekend, but she has been very good, considering. Her new obsession is "The Wizard of Oz". She's going to be Dorothy for Halloween, so we now watch the movie just about every day. She's also working on her acting portfolio by nailing down the parts of Dorothy Gayle and Glenda. Here is one of her favorite scenes, where she is playing the part of Glenda, the Good Witch:
Last night my friend, Jessica's, husband was out of town, so she invited us to her house for a good old fashioned slumber party! We all had a great time and Caroline and Caleb were so excited and hyper! On the way to school this morning, Caroline asked me if we could stay at their house again tonight:) Here they are before bedtime last night:
Can you tell she's in Heaven?!
And, I was SO happy to check my mail and see that my new purchases finally came!!!! I am a proud supporter:
This may be awful, but as I was putting the bumper sticker on my car, I thought, "What if an Obama supporter keys my car or slashes my tires?" Yikes! Make me proud, John and Sarah, make me proud.
And last but not least, I am preparing for two huge sales this week. First up......
Yessirree! Thursday morning marks Harris Teeter's Triple Coupon Weekend!!! I sorted my coupons last night and I'm waiting for the sales to be advertised tomorrow morning so I can plan my strategy of attack and then after we drop Caroline off at school on Thursday, RoyBoy and I are hitting as many HT's as we can! There will definitely be a post to come.
On Friday, the big consignment sale begins! I am almost done sorting, hanging, pricing and loading all of my stuff. There will be a post about that one, too. Woohoo! This is a good week for saving and making money!
After the sale, we load up the car and head to Charleston, SC for Roy's dad's Festival. And, again, there will be a post about that one!
Today is a rainy, cold day. A perfect day for a nap, and I think I might just do that! Enjoy your day!

Good update. I was wondering where you've been. Did Carol and Caleb sleep with each other? Just curious...you know how she's been with her dolls as of late! Hahahh! She does look really excited.
I'm glad Roy comes home soon and RB is feeling better too.
How fun to have a slumber party!! And on a school night!! I had 6 teenage girls last weekend..my LITTLE girls absolutely LOVE it when the BIG kids come over (their sister DOES NOT love it that they LOVE it!)
I am so jealous of the HT sale...NONE of the grocery stores in California do triples..or even double coupons! ARGHHH!!
How I miss the south...
I will have to tell Willie about Caroline! He has been a Wizard of Oz fan all of his life - I know, even now in his almost middle forties. When Dima (boy from Belarus) came the first summer, he was majorly into Wizard of Oz -watched it over and over.
Love the bumper stickers!! Also, thanks for the heads up on the HT triple coupon week!
Woohoo...slumber party!! I love those, but at what point are you going to NOT allow Caroline to sleep with little boys...about the same time you stop allowing her to mix swim too I hope. Because we all know what road that that will lead you down...
I'm so jealous about Harris Teeter. :( Do you think it would be worth the money for me to drive to Charlotte just so I can triple all my coupons? I mean, so what if the gas is now close to $5. I'm going to add to my last post because I just went to Bi-Lo and had a "first" experience there...I was so excited as a new couponer!
Well, it sounds like you have a busy week and weekend ahead. You just remember your blog friends and that we're anxiously waiting each day for a post from Donna...don't disappoint us, 'kay? :))
FYI, Caroline slept with ME! You girls are silly!
And regarding Dolly's comment, Caroline is now into having her princess and prince dolls kiss.
Hollywood better watch out, because our little Caroline will be busting their doors down one day!
Glad RA is feeling better and Big Roy will be home soon! Stinks for him, he has to go straight to Charleston! Wish I could go
A spend the night party! How fun. I, too, wondered about the sleeping arrangements, but was glad to read your comment that Caroline slept with you.
I'll be looking for you at HT on Thursday - I am psyched!!
Oh my goodness, I cannot wait to see what you coupon girls get at HT!!! Please post right after you put all your freezer and refrigerated items away. I want details too!
I am so ready for the HT sale. Sunday's paper had tons of coupons.
How fun you girls had a sleepover. I am sure that was a ton of fun!! this is the third time I have tried to type a comment on here in the last few minutes. Sarah turned off my computer the first time, second time she just about pulled my earring out and now she is all over me!!
8 o clock can not come soon enough:)
Not fair. WHERE IS MY BUMPER STICKER AND HAT??????
Say it loud and proud! I have the McCain sticker, yard sign and t-shirt is ordered and I CAN'T WAIT to get it! I am so sick of seeing Obama stickers everywhere! I SO wish we had a Harris Teeter here!
Forget Harris Teeter . . . all I can think about is smocking. I can't wait to see what you get from the the big consignment sale. I really wish they had them in Florida :(
I am a little behind the past two days on blogging. Caroline is so precious in that costume. You might just have a little actress on your hands.
Now, I hope you can take something tonight to help you sleep b/c I know what coupon shopping does to you. I wished we had that in Texas. Once in a blue moon, they will do triple. Many times the generic brand ends up being cheaper than the name brand with a coupon. Anyway, have fun shopping and we will pray for poor little sick RA who will be toted around all over the place. HA!
Well, it sounds like things are really looking up at your place...hubby coming home, Harris Teeter triple coupons, the big consignment sale and then off to the festival.
We hope to attned a festival next year if they have them. I looked at the website and it looks fabulous. I pray that many lives will be encouraged and changed this weekend as a result of hearing Franklin share God's word and truth.
Also, may you save a bundle at Harris Teeter so you spend what you saved at the consignment sale :)
Does Caroline have any of the little Wizard of Oz Happy Meal dolls? We rarely eat there, but I go in and buy the little dolls for like $1.50 each. Peyton LOVES them and has 13 or 14 of them. I gave Peyton a Madame Alexander Wizard of Oz dollhouse that I bought years ago and she plays with it a lot. McD's has new dolls out now.
I didn't know they sold those dolls there. We never go there to eat, but if I go in and ask to buy them they'll know what I'm talking about?
