Aldi's Flower Update 2-10-12

I have to admit I did not take care of and refresh the water in this latest batch of flowers so I had to pluck quite a few dry ones out and pitch today (two weeks after purchasing), but they still look pretty decent. And for $3.99 a bouquet I do not think that you can go wrong buying these for yourself. They brighten my day every time that I walk into a room that has fresh flowers in the vase, and what girl doesn't enjoy fresh flowers? Go ahead and splurge for yourself once in a while. If I was leaving the house this weekend I would be grabbing some more to replace the vases I emptied, but since we are under one of our first deep freezes of the winter I am not leaving my house unless I absolutely have to! I guess I will run to Kwik Star tomorrow to purchase milk and lottery tickets but other than that I am staying in where it is warm and baking valentine treats for those I love. Everyone have a great weekend and stay warm!

I think you more than got your money's worth with those flowers. How do you get them to last for two weeks?

I always just put the packet of stuff in each of the vases that I split them into. I swear they are the best value for the money you can get. Around here in Iowa anyway. Target charges $9.99 for the same sized bouquet that Aldis charges $3.99. They sure last and make me smile all winter/year long!

Ty Football 2010

So finally remembered to take the camera to Ty's game Friday night and snap some pictures. We won 45-0 and Ty had 3 TD's but one was called back. I don't know what his class will think when/if they ever lose. They haven't lost a game since grade school. Wouldn't that be awesome if they never did lose one? I think our varsity team will be a force to be reckoned with when they are juniors and seniors. Not saying that the varsity team currently isn't. They haven't lost this year either. Love football season but sad to see summer almost over! Go Wapsie Valley Warriors!

Happy Birthday Hildegard

Today is my sister in law Helen's birthday. I love this gal. We have been friends for a very long time, and we truly have a blast with each other. Thank goodness we can spend a lot of time together because we spend literally EVERY weekend together April through October at the river on our houseboats. We do crazy stuff, we cook awesome food, and we just hang out and talk. And in the off months or when we don't see each other, my car just seems to turn down her road when I am heading home from shopping. Even when Bruce has just waxed it and done the wheels. Right Helen? Oh well he washed it again quick when I got home. He knew I had to have my fix of "Hellie"! I love you Helen Hildegard like a sister and I know that we are having an awesome day moving and winterizing our boats for the season on your birthday! May we have many more river summers to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries with our friends and family. Oh, and this winter when you are having th...

Most Of Us

Okay I just had to post this picture even though I did post it with all the college move in slideshow pictures. This is the emotional morning that we left to move Kyle into his dorm. I think this is a really good picture of all of us except obviously Cole is missing. But he always tries too hard and "sometimes" messes up pictures, so I think it is safe to say this is a pretty good picture of Bruce and I with 2 of 3 favorite children in the world! See.....I said you are ALL FAVORITE CHILDREN!!!!!!! Just wait until there are grandchildren.....none of you will make the blog very often!
