I'm FREEZING!

And it's not even cold outside!  I'm not sure what's up with my house (or my body temperature).  But anyways, I just put a zip-up sweater/sweatshirt on & kicked the heat on, so hopefully I'll warm up.

Do you need a "how-to" on making quick, easy, and FREE flashcards?  I wrote a post for Lesson Pathways about that very topic!  Check it out!

I love getting great deals.  And I managed to do just that at WAGS today!  I went in to get some pop since they had it on sale 4/$10 and we were out of Dr. Pepper.  I was planning to use up a bunch of RR I've accumulated over the past week or so.  When I picked up the 12pks, I noticed a coupon on them - $.55 off "right now".  Well, that blew the plan to use the RR up, but it was going to make for some super cheap pop ($1.95 for a 12pk!!), so I headed back to the clearance end-cap to see if I could come up with any decent filler. They had contact solution on sale for $.82/ea, so I picked up three so I could use three RR (totally $10).  Gotta love when great deals get even better!  (I'll use the rest of my RR to pick up some Dr. Pepper for my dad before heading to MI this weekend!)

I finally sat down and started Jenny's Halloween costume today.  She has been asking for weeks to be a "beautiful butterfly" for Halloween, so she can "flap [her] wings".  I have been planning to make her a set of wings, but hadn't gotten around to it.  Since Halloween is Saturday, I decided I should probably get to work!  I used two empty cereal boxes and cut a set of upper wings and lower wings.  Then I covered them in aluminum foil and glued them together.  Then, I used my paper shredder to create colorful confetti, and Jenny and I glued the confetti to the wings.  I finished by using some decoupage glue on top of the wings to seal everything together.  I'll be punching holes in the top and bottom to attach a backpack-style system for her to wear the wings.  I also got out a purple (her choice of color) pipe cleaner to attach to a head band for her antennae.  I'll be sure to put pictures up when it's dry!

I think naps are officially a thing of the past for Jenny.  She's been over a week now without a nap, and last night, she even stayed up late (not with permission, though).  And when I have her "rest", she managed to destroy her room and cause David to be unable to nap either.

I'm really dreading the time change next week.  Last year it took us almost a month to get her inner clock switched.  This year, I have two to try to acclimate.

I really need to get off the internet and work on my Bible study notes for tomorrow night.  I have my study done, I just need to organize my notes so I'm ready to teach.

Q4U: What are you (or your kids) going to dress up as for Halloween?  David's going to be a soccer player (thanks to his aunt Alyssa for bringing him back a soccer uniform from Mexico this summer).  Jenny's going to be the before mentioned butterfly.  I haven't decided if I'm going to dress up or not - any suggestions?
