Marissa, I totally LUV everything!! You did a great job of picking things for me ~ here is a list of stuff that I got. Plastic Tulip Fence - it is going in my raised Bean Teepee yard. 2 Plant stakes - so cute Gardening gloves - It is so funny, 2 days before I recieved the box, I was telling my Mom that I needed some. When I saw them, I was so excited! Pens - my fav color is Pink M shaped note pad & flower note pad - I always need more paper! Seeds - to plant in my new raised yard Book mark - shaped like flip-flops. I read ALOT so this is great! Welcome rock - for my raised yard Windsock - my fav birds HUMMERS I really like everything and would love to be your pen pal! This week has been crazy! tomorrow is my last track meet, then next weekend Mom and I are going to a craft fair so that she can sell the crafts she made. I am writting a letter now to send to you and will include a picture so that you know what I look like LOL Have fun this weekend and THANKS again! Megin

Its hard for us this year and I hate cutting back. But the money is just not there this time! We have spent anywhere from $150-$200 on each of our 3 kids when they were growing up. They have not had grandparents for about 18 years now and I always wanted them to have a "good" Christmas. Now one DD does have a BF that I know will get her something. The other DD and DS are not seeing anyone and if they don't have something under the tree from us there won't be a gift at all. A cpuple years ago I just got $100Gift Cards for my kids with a shirt or something to open. We are spending about $75 on each child and grown child, the BF has always gotten a shirt and a gag gift or something from us, but after 3 or 4 years I think we'd better include him as a member of the family. I'd been biten in the butt before treating a GF and a BF like family and learned from that. The adults will get a $75 GC and the little ones will all get clothes and toys to the same amount. It tough to stay on track and not buy something I see and think they'd like. We also have a GB's birthday this month and DS's birthday too, so more added on to the amount I planned on spending. The GB's I always spend more on for their birthdays than I do the adult kids. DH and I will not exchange gifts this year and I don't care as long as my kids have something under the tree.

Well they casted it, the cast goes from the tip of her toes to her underwear line. The good thing is that she is already managing okay on the crutches. It was hard to find some small enough, my dad brought an older pair of wooden ones and cut them down to fit her. Now if she wasn't getting a little stir crazy. lol. Stacie
