Playsaver has coupons for several toys, for girls and boys. It's time to start getting ready for Christmas shopping and these can be paired with sales. There are also Mega Bloks Coupons out.You will need to sign up for their family club and you will be able to pick your coupons. These will start showing up on sale for Christmas soon, and in many cases Walmart seems to have a deal on them during Black Friday. Please remember Toys R Us takes coupons too! If you look in this weeks paper, it actually shows some of the deals you can get at Toys R Us. Also remember Target and Walmart will price match other stores that may not take coupons, if you have their ad. *Note* Walmart says you don't need an Ad, but I have run into many issues myself, so It's best to have the Ad, or if anything a copy of their Price Matching and Coupon policy.
As I find deals for these toys, I will post.

My Miracles
As I sit here typing and watching my two youngest children playing together, I am amazed. Amazed at how much they really teach us. Without a doubt, they fight, but there is also a bond of love they share. These two are 16 months apart in age and I believe they will always be close, like they are today. These two have taught me to smile, despite the two eggs my two year old took off the stove, and I find them broken on the floor in the kitchen, later finding the third egg because i stepped on it. I have had hugs when my son saw me in tears, and the smile of my daughter who lights up a room with her laughter.
Yesterday afternoon, I sat and watched my daughter taking her nap in her playpen. I had some of the strangest thoughts. My daughter is my miracle, (and so are my boys, so please don't take anything to heart) I was never a person who thought of what life would be like when I had my family, until, I actually had my family. When my husband and I had our first son, I remember thinking the day we found out for sure that we were having a boy, on my husbands 21st birthday,that this is perfect, we will have one more, a daughter and she will have a big brother to look after her. When we had our second child, this was very awkward at first finding out we were pregnant, because we had never had a time line for baby number two. And of course, our child had their own time line. I recall saying from the beginning, we're having a girl every chance I got. I will admit, my heart was a little sad the day we found out we were having another boy. I recall telling them check again are you sure. That day I remember walking out of there and deciding a new plan. When would we have baby number three, our girl. It did take a little getting used to saying two boys, but indeed we did, and when we came home from the hospital, I saw a big brother who was so very proud, and it made me proud to be the mother of these two little boys. For quite awhile, we were content, but then we had more changes to come. We bought our first house, and decided it was time for our last baby. This time, I had a time line, which of course, was not the same as our third child's time line. I was somewhat devastated to find out we were having another boy. And for a day, I was sad. Through the rest of that pregnancy, I grew to love and bond with my third son. I was ready for the challenge of three boys. My youngest son, is by far my most dominating son out of the three. I recall bringing him home and remembering his big brothers trying to hold him but he really didn't want anyone else to hold him. And now at 2, he is so very stubborn, much like his oldest brother was by this time. By the time I had him, I was over the idea of having my own little girl. Biologically we felt we were done having kids and I had begun to think one day, just maybe one day, I'd be able to adopt a little girl and bring her into our lives and she'd have three older brothers to look out after her. My time line was not on schedule with the little girl who would come into our lives. When my youngest son was nearly 7 months old, we found out we had a surprise, another baby coming. This pregnancy took it's toll on me, physically and mentally. I will admit because yes, I thought I was going to have another boy. I complained A LOT that pregnancy, it was very hard on me. Even when they said "girl" I waited for the next ultrasound to tell me it was a boy. I had no hopes of a girl, I think a part of me bonded with thinking it was another boy. The couple weeks leading up to her birth by yet another csection, I had a few issues. Nothing too major, but for me, it felt major at the time. My daughter was born in early April, and I remember laying on the table just waiting for them to finish, and my husband was with her. I hadn't seen her yet and I was very nervous, just ready for it to be over with, and it just seemed to take a very long time to get through the csection. I remember asking the person behind me if it was still a girl. He laughed and said yes, it's a girl. A few moments later, which had seemed more like hours later, my husband brought her over to me. She was beautiful and certainly a little princess. By the time surgery was over, I was exhausted. I mean sleepy exhausted. I remember trying to nurse my little girl, and feeling so tired. I didn't have this experience with the others. And I did indeed nurse all three of them, however, the first two not as long as I had hoped. I felt defeated but relieved when I allowed my husband to feed her one bottle just to get her blood sugar up. I still didn't sleep though. This little girl was my little girl, but despite all of this, I felt no bond with her.I felt giddy,later that night. But I didn't feel much else. I wasn't as proud as I had been about my boys. It took a little while before I became that proud mom that I am. The time line may not been right, but my kids had it right all along.My little girl came to me, just as my little boys came to me. I am lucky!!! And amazed everyday at how they grow.

A whole month
Do you know how hard it is to write when you have four kids at home? I guess I have also needed some downtime away from just everything. We have been on vacation and back, celebrated birthdays, anniversary and fathers day, and we are just getting ready to celebrate another birthday. (Happy Birthday Hubby).
Today my little princess had a check up, she did pretty good and is growing nicely. She is still on the small side weighing in at a mere 18.8 pounds at 15 months old, when her brothers weighed almost double that 6 months prior. ( ok maybe not double the weight). I finally took her to the new doctors office that was recommended for my area as being open minded. We are delaying vaccines and even the holistic pediatrician we came from, that we seem to have been unable to get a sick appointment at, kept pushing vaccines. So far so good with this doctors office. The best part about not having Tricare, is that we can change doctors at any given moment. Tricare you always had to wait.
I just learned of another little girl passing from cancer, and it's really hard on me. I didn't even know this little girl personally, but just looking at her picture, and reading about her, my heart breaks so much. It really just isn't fair. There are too many little ones passing away. It is just not fair. I have been reading of a few others that may not make it much longer. I am so lucky that I am not one of these parents who have to go through this, but I still don't think it's fair to anyone to go through this.
Lately I've had a hard time writing though. Just trying to get my thoughts out of my head and into words. I never know where to begin anymore. I have a few reviews to write as well, for now I just have to get through the rest of the day.

Another crazy week!
So I can't say I have gotten a bunch of great deals this week, because well I haven't. I will say, that the new Walmart in Frisco is awesome! After going to Tom Thumb at 6 am to try and get cupcakes and the coke deal, because I really thought it would sell out, it turns out, they weren't the best deal at Tom Thumb, and I put the cupcakes back, which actually were a better deal, by 1.00 each cupcake box, but I got better service, and was very happy to say, my little man got Batman cupcakes, despite that I did not order the cupcakes prior. The lady in the bakery at this Walmart actually looked for the batman cupcake toppers and placed them on two 12 packs of cupcakes for my little man. He was a very happy almost 5 year old having cupcakes with his class yesterday!
I have gotten poor service from other walmarts when it comes to getting a cake, so i wasn't sure what to expect when I put my stuff back at Tom Thumb and went to walmart yesterday. I price matched the Coke, which was awesome!
All in all, I left really early to try and get what I needed done, I added a little more stress onto myself, but it worked out in the end.
After rushing that early in the morning, I get home only to realize my oldest son, was sick and would be missing his field day. I know he was bummed but he wasn't feeling good at all. I just hope he's over it today since we have a big day with his brothers birthday party!
I will have a review on the DFW Laser Tag up later this week. There is still a deal over at Beget for overnight Laser Tag. I snagged my deal on Living Social and will only be getting two hours of Laser Tag, so if you're in the market for a birthday party idea for say a slumber party, maybe a camping slumber party? This could be the deal. If you need any birthday party suggestions, don't hesitate to ask me! As my family would say, I'm very crazy over birthday parties. I'm already planning my husbands 30th birthday bash and his 30th is 13 months away.
Today's Birthday party theme is Batman, and If I do say so myself, I did not spend an arm and a leg on his party. I will post about how it went down when I do a review on DFW Laser Tag. for now, it's time to start my day.

One in a half weeks left of school!!!
As crazy as this sounds, I am ready for summer! I'd like to spend time with the kids doing thugs we all enjoy! We have a week in half left of school. And just two days left of a regular school week as my oldest says. His last spelling test on Friday. I've been busy catching my deals for stocking up on things and getting my middle sons 5 th birthday party together. I have made a total of ten capes now and need to make a couple extra to be sure everyone gets one. I hope he has an awesome 5 th birthday!! It is so hard to believe where we are at now! My daughter is one now and finally really starting to wean! She also slept through the night which is the first night in forever! My oldest son is doing so well and has come so very far since the beginning of the year! I am so proud of him. He is truly a wonderful kid. My youngest son well I love him and that Is the easiest way to get through the terrible twos he has hit! Two can be such a wonderful age, but with that comes the really bad age! Hopefully he gets it out of his system soon an before he turns 3.
It didn't seem like the year was going fast until it's now nearly over! Another school year accomplished! Only 23 more years to go!
