Abby's test result... scared mommy...


For those who read my last blog, remember me mentioning Abigail having test done? Well today I received the results via phone call on the way home from work. It's one of those moments when you just know they are about to tell you something you don't want to hear. You have that uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach and you want to puke. Not my favorite way to feel!
So just a review on what results were from..
Abigail has been showing signs of starting puberty. I started noticing them at age of 7. She turned 8 March 12th, and during her well check up, doctor recommended we have some test done to make sure everything is normal. In 19 months she gained a little over 20lbs, and only grew 13/4 inch. This of course would be natural for a lazy child who over eats, snacks unhealthy, and drinks soda. NONE of which Abby falls under. She is a very active child, drinks water 99% of the time, eats lot of fruits and veggies, and I keep 100 calorie snacks for our guilty pleasures. Doc worded it like this, "When you are doing right on the outside, and are still 'gaining' weight, that means something isn't working on the inside" that along with the signs and symptoms of puberty led them to recommend 12 tests to be done on her blood/urine. They drew out 6 tubes of blood, and she had to pee in a container for 24 hrs and then bring back. She also had an x-ray done to determine her bone age.

RESULTS were told to me like this. Most of her blood work came back normal, except 2 abnormalities. 1 test (fh something or another) was a little low, and another (dh something) was a little high. Her bone age came back as 10 yrs old. Her being just turned 8, this is not normal.
So they have referred us to an (i know I am spelling this wrong) Endocrinologist. From what I have googled, they specialize in growth and development, diabetes, thyroid issues, and so forth.

Of course, after scaring me to death, they proceed to tell me she might not get seen until June! I have to wait till JUNE to find out the reality of what could possibly be wrong. In my heart I don't feel like it is something horribly wrong. If you know what I mean. I have a feeling it is just precocious (sp??) puberty, and her hormone levels are off and might need to be tweaked a little. Or something along those lines.
It is just SO scary to think of the chance that there may be something wrong with your child. You know? The mention of diabetes ad thyroid make my stomach hurt.
So please PLEASE keep me and her in your thoughts and prayers. Pray nothing is seriously wrong, and if something is wrong, it is CURABLE or EASILY FIXABLE!!!
Thanks in advance! Will keep you all posted on any news.

Spring Break part 2

Day 4-
Thursday was a really fun day too! Abigail has been saving her money from her previous birthday this past March. She ended up raking in $100! So we started this day off making a trip out to Gwinnett Federal Credit Union, in Monroe, where my sister works, to open her very first savings account!! She really felt all grown up signing her forms! She may only have $100 but she felt like a million!!

After the fun at the credit union, we headed back towards home to have a picnic lunch in the park. We packed up a lunch and made our way to Alexander Park. (again the girls pick, I wanted to go to Tribble Mill!) Instead of eating at a table and playing with 100 kids running around everywhere, we walked out to the field and found a nice quiet spot for a picnic and play time!! It was beautiful! And fun! M&M enjoyed walking around and playing ball/frisbee with big girls! Eventually though we did pack it up and headed back up to playground for some swing time!! It was a fun but very exhausting day! So HOT outside!! Once home, we worked on some of our crafts we got from Hobby Lobby! Girls made Sand Art!











Day 5-
Friday was originally going to be the day we were going to Malibu! It is Michael's only day off during the week, so we thought it would be a great time to go!! BUT then Michael had to end up going to work :(
So we post-poned our Friday festivities till Saturday! Friday was a simple day. We didn't do too much other than play outside, and I cleaned up house. I went grocery shopping, and made a big dinner when Michael came home from work. We decided to put up the tent the girls had got from Santa. I figured we could set it up in the back yard and that would give them something fun to do! Well this day was just not meant to be fun. When we opened it all up, there were no poles!!! Michael packaged it all back up and took it back to the store (where we 'assumed' Santa bought it from) and got a brand new one!! But by the time they got home with it, it was too dark/late to put it up. ugh. Post-poned that for Saturday night too!

Day 6- our make up day from Friday!
Saturday was going to be another fun day!! My aunt Diane came down to my house and stayed with Maggie and Madison while Michael and I took A&A to Malibu Grand Prix! No way was I going to take them out there, in 85 deg weather to sit in a stroller the whole time and be miserable!!
Once we got there, I remembered why I wanted to go on Friday, less people! It was stupid busy! We bought tickets enough for us to do only do the boats, and the race cars. After waiting in line for a hour the girls finally got to do the bumper boats! I am sure the water felt amazing! It was SO hot that day!!
Then we did race cars! First time for me since high school! Last time we came I was prego and couldn't ride :( Not this time!!! Aaliyah rode with me, and Abby with Michael. We were first in line, and I was determined to stay that way.. SPSHHH 30 sec into it my car decided to not want to go and Michael and Abby flew right past us!! But we made it up a little! It was crazy fun!! Been a while since I felt like a kid again! Even though we didn't get to do alot of stuff, the girls still had a great time! We took then out to dinner afterwards, then went by hospital again to visit my sister!





When we got back home, this is what we found...

Aunt Diane was alot of fun, and wore the babies out!!!
I dont' have any more pictures to share for the remainder of the night. (my phone doesn't have flash, no pics turned out that were taken outside :( )

We ended up setting up tent after all! And inviting Michael's cousins over to play outside in tent, and I made a fire for them to roast marshmallows! They had TOO much fun!! It was almost midnight before we got everyone to bed!!
It was a great ending to a GREAT week!! I am so glad I started the tradition years ago, to have fun-filled Spring Breaks, with lots to do and fun to be had!!!
Here are a few pictures of M&M today, playing outside with sisters! Too cute not to share!



(NEXT BLOG, STATUS ON ABBY'S TEST RESULTS! KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS!!)

SPRING BREAK part 1!

To say that we had an awesome Spring Break, would be a HUGE under statement! It was fabulous!! Great weather, and a week full of fun stuff to do! So anyone who is interested, here is what we did...

To start the week off we spent some time at my moms house over the weekend, playing in the back yard! M&M (now at 18 months) are really enjoying getting to run around outside! (BTW you will notice in pictures, Abigail no longer likes having her picture taken, and avoids me as much as possible, and I can never get M&M in a shot together!! errr)







Day 1-
Monday was a simple day, my mom works out in Clarkston and wanted me and girls to come have lunch with her and her friend Amanda. M&M decided to wake up a hour earlier than normal, so they were pretty exhausted. I was worried about them being ill the whole time, but they ended up not being too bad! Originally we had planned on going to Chick-fil-a. Easy place to eat with kiddos! BUT when we pulled into parking lot, we realized this chick-fil-a was not normal. It didn't have a dining room, it was built like a Checkers! So we last resorted to McDonald's! It was close by and girls were hungry!! It was nice getting to visit their Nana (even though I failed to get a picture with her :( ) On the way back home we stopped in Bruster's for a yummy treat!!  but M&M didn't make it! They were asleep 1/2 way home!! The rest of the day we stayed home, low-key! Played outside a little, did some laundry, stayed cool!



Day 2-
Tuesday we didn't have a whole lot planned. Abigail had a doc appt that morning. Which went kind of scary!! It was a well check up, but they were also doing a follow up to my concerns of her starting puberty too early. She has had a lot of symptoms and signs of starting, but is only 8! Also she had gained a bit of weight, but did not grow tall enough for it to make sense. Considering that Abigail is a very active girl, who drinks water 99% of the time, and is eating pretty healthy, there isn't much reason for her to be gaining weight and not growing taller to make up for it. They ordered 12 blood tests, 2 urine analysis, and a bone age x-ray! Talk about scaring Mommy!! Her doc said hopefully it is just puberty, and if all her levels are ok, we will just let nature take its course. But they are testing for everything imaginable, just to rule out anything being wrong. We should get results by the end of the week!! Mommy's scared to death! But Abby was a champ!
After the doctor visit we went out for breakfast and by the hospital to visit Bebe! (my sister who is back in hospital AGAIN! Keep her in your prayers please!) THEN we went home and gathered up the rest of the crew and  hit up Hobby Lobby! Always a favorite! Girls picked out a craft each, and we picked up some goodies we needed for hair bow making! Then we headed over to my Aunt Diane's house for some snacks, and a visit! (She recently was in AZ for 2 weeks, so girls hadn't seen her since she'd been home!!) Again I did not get a picture :(  (My camera isn't working, so I am taking pics on my phone, and I fail to remember!! Oops! Tuesday night was movie night! We had a camp out in the living room! FUN!

Day 3- The best day EVER!
Wednesday was the day the girls had been looking forward to! It was our shopping day +BONUS surprise to Dave and Busters!! This day we left Maggie and Madison at home! Too difficult to shop with little ones needing naps! We went to Discover Mills (their mall of choice!) Before shopping I broke the news to them that we would not be going to Chuck-E-Cheese that week. :( I hate that place :) Instead we were going to Dave and Busters at the mall! No complaints!! They were super ecstatic! And just my luck, Wednesdays are 1/2 price game days!! Woo hoo! We did a pkg deal and ended up with something like $50 on cards for games! It took almost 2 hours and 385,798 games played to finally use up all the money on the cards! I had 10 buckets filled with tickets! We had like 10 points left, so we went to the famous Spin the Wheel game to win tickets, Abby went first and won 150! Then the last 5 points on the card, the LAST game to be played, Aaliyah spinned the wheel. I turned around talking to Abby and I hear a siren going off "JACK POT, WINNER WINNER" She hit the 1,000 ticket jackpot!! That was just pure luck!! We waited there for at least 10 min waiting for them to all print out!! She was so excited, and felt so special! They ended up with 3.704 tickets to gets prizes with! They ended up with night vision goggles, D&B basketball, stickers, candy, stuffed animals, and flashlight lollipop thingies! Good deal =o)






After the arcade fun, we hit up the eatery for the girls lunch pick Hibachi Grill, they call it Chinese, but in fact it is Japanese! Then they wanted to go on the merry go round! I don't think they ever get too old enough for it! And it seems like yesterday when I had to ride it with Aaliyah b/c she was too little! They grow SO fast!!




After lunch and the fun it was time to get down to business shopping! JUSTICE here we come.
And we were there 2hrs and 15 min! IN ONE STORE! They didn't want to go to ANY other store to shop, it had to be Justice, and THEN they HAD to try on everything they picked out. I was ready for the tallest Margarita in the world by the time I was done shopping with them! I promised 2 outifts each, ended up buying 3 each b/c no one could decide between their choices! But it worked out great b/c after what I spent I got 4 $25 off $50 purchase coupons! Needless to say we will be back soon!
This day, April 6th, also marked a BIG stepping stone for Maggie and Madison! It was their 18 month birthday! We enjoyed the beautiful weather outside, and taught them how to play/draw with chalk! It was by far the most amazingly fun day with all my girls!!






Too many pictures and stories to share for one blog... next post = the remainder of the week

Consignment Sales...

So as most of you already know, or maybe not, I am a member of the Gwinnett Mother's of Multiple Club. A perk of being a member (dispite the fact that I have only been to one meeting over a year ago *eeek*) is their twice a year consignment sales!!!  Which I LOVE! The first time I did the sale was last fall, I believe September. I had no idea what I was doing, but somehow got it all together in time (story of my life). I ended up finding a double jogging stroller for $35! And lots of awesome toys, clothes, etc! I also ended up making something like $180! (and that was all baby clothes!) I learned alot that year, and this year being a "pro" did a better job! Unfortunately with the death of Michael's g'ma, and going out of town, I was short on time to sort through EVERYTHING like I originally planned! :( But I still managed to get all the kids nice, name brand, clothing from last summer out, washed, dried, hung up, and tagged! (the sale in March is for Spring/summer gear, the sale in Sept is for fall/winter gear! Smart huh!!) (Tagged= each item is entered into a database on the computer and a upc barcode is generated for EVERY single item, so you have to print them all out on card stock, and safety pin them to the item, this sale I had 155 tags! Life sucked that night of tagging, was up till 3am and had to work the next day)

But anyway, the sale is on a Saturday 8am-noon, then they have a 1/2 price sale from 1-2pm. I was cashiering the event from 8-2, and being a member means I get to shop the sale the night before the public!! Thank goodness I did, I got great deals and awesome stuff! Several nice, new looking, name brand (oshKosh, OldNavy, Gymboree, etc) outfits for M&M. And a few pieces for A&A too. They are harder to shop for in consignments. Not alot of good clothing for the older kids.
 I think I total spent $80, and with that I got a white 4 drawer dresser (which I have no idea what I am going to with) M&M 4 dresses, 8 pair of shorts, 8 shirts, 2 pair of cute NEW shoes for playtime, 2 rompers, 2 pj's, 2 packs of 2pk pants, brand new with tags from Carters, and a 5 pack of undershirt onesies also brand new, with tags from Carters! A&A 5 pair of capris and short, and 2 tops, PLUS a flat screen lite brite, ABC learning 3d blocks, and an ABC magnet toy for fridge!  I was super stoked!!!
The next day I worked sale and noticed that I didn't see alot of my stuff out anywhere. Good sign!! When we came back that night to pick up stuff that wasn't sold I was a happy girl! I was only taking home about 1/4 of the stuff I brought!!! My grand totals sold $225! (then something like 12% go to the club) Woo hoo! So that means I get to buy a new updated stroller for M&M, and of course more summer clothes, and A&A clothes!!
Only annoying fact about the consignments are the people to WAY over price their walmart clothing. I mean do not get me wrong I ain't ashamed to hit up Wally World or Target for play clothes and simple stuff. BUT I am not going to buy something for $4-$5 brand new, let my kid wear it several times, them try to sell it for $3!! Those are the items that should be $.50-$1! Or better yet the ones you donate! I found alot of cute things that were Faded Glory and Circo brand for $5-$6!! I am like seriously? This is a consignment sale not a hustle! lol.
Consignment selling works out great for me, being a mother to multiple children. 4 girls are difficult to keep up! But knowing that I consign now, I am not afraid to spend a little extra $ for clothes, knowing that I can sale them and profit back from them the next year! Every season it recycles, I sell what we used the year before, and use profits to buy new stuff for this year!! That way shopping doesn't envolve a payment plan! lol.
I totally used to be one of 'those' moms who wouldn't dare buy my child 'used' clothing! Until becoming envolved with this sale! These people plan their buying and year events around selling and buying in these sales. They take care of these clothes, and are just like me! If you look you can find items that are almost brand new, for $1-$2!  And of course you are going to wash it all (well twice if you are me!) so I think it is a very smart way to go!! =o)

Worlds worst blogger...

So about once a week I log on to the 'dashboard' and catch up on everyones blog I follow, and every week I think, "It's about time for you to blog again, Megan" but then completely draw a blank on anything to say!! LOL I just logged in and realized it has been over a month, AGAIN. Truth is I have SO much going on in my life on a day to day basis, so many cute comments said, funny things done, and new updates. By the time I think of them to blog about, I get distracted with something happening then, and thus, never blogging them!! Makes me kind of upset with myself. I wanted to blog to remember all those cute things and stepping stones, and here I am forgeting them by the end of the week! So this blog, like SO many of my other blogs will be a rambling on of the past month and ALL the many things going on! It should be quite interesting, I think. I hope. For you, the readers sake :)

Lets see where to begin. Since I always talk about the babies (who I need to quit calling babies they are now almost 18 months old!!!) I will start with Abigail and Aaliyah.
Abigail is doing awesome in school, as usual. She makes good grades, and is usually always on E's. Which stands for Excellent. A few times we have got a S, to which she was grounded from TV for a whole day. Each time was because of her talking. Can't blame her really. Anytime I ever got into trouble at school it was for talking too! But I was never punished for it, and therefore continued talking all the time. I don't want her to do the same, so the TV punishment has been working!! No more S's since the 2nd time of being punished! Score! She has decided that pink is the worse color in the world. She refuses to wear pink (most of the time) and wants everything black, blue and green. She wants skinny jeans with sneakers, and beg me to let her dye a strand of her hair green all the time. I think it is safe to say I am raising an Emo child. LOL. I know it is a phase. I went through it too. She has more friends in the neighborhood who are boys, so I think she is just trying to be 'cool' to them. But at heart she is a girly girl! Still wants to wear makeup and get mani's and pani's! lol. She is rough though. She is wanting to play football next year. After one more year of cheering this year. Scares the crap out of me, but I figure if she has the balls to go out there and play football with a bunch of boys, I am not dare going to tell her she can't! Speaking of cheerleading. We register this Sat!!! Practice will be starting back up the end of July! My life will get very interesting then! Abby also had a birthday this month big 8!! (makes me feel older than dirt to know I have an 8 yr old!!) But I will talk about her birthday later on in blog!
And then there is my sweet little (not so little) Aaliyah baby! Who will be 6 in June! She too is doing GREAT in school! Always on E, never been under and E!! Aaliyah has been in speech classes since she was about 2 1/2. When she started talking she left the beginning and ending off of each word! And she used different sounds to take the place of the actual sound. Such as using a B in place of an F, and leaving off all S's. Well this year in Kindergarten they began her in classes at school. Of which I was not too happy about, I would have rather her continued private classes, but insurance will not pay for them once the child is in public school, and speech is offered free. Bummer! Well I thought it was a bummer. I was afraid she would be in a class with multiple students and not get the 1 on 1 attention she needed. I was wrong. Her speech teacher is AWESOME. And she has already told me we are going to have to move the review meeting up closer! The meeting is too review her success and set new goals. Well Aaliyah just started speech in January. Her goals were set to be made by the end of the school year, and she has already met every one of them and it is only the end of March! Go Aaliyah!! So that is very exciting for me! I recently had lunch with them at school (for Abby's bday) and after I walked Aaliyah back to her room with her class. As I was looking around I noticed she was the tallest one in the class. I asked her teacher, and she confirmed. Aaliyah is the tallest, and youngest child in her class!! Guess I might have me a tall one!! Basketball player if I could be so lucky? Speaking of sports... SO last year when Abby was cheering, all I heard about was Aaliyah talking about when she WAS going to cheer next year. So now that it is next year, Aaliyah has decided, NO she does NOT want to be a cheerleader. She wants to play soccer. Gee oh boy. How exciting. NOT! I hate soccer. BUT whatever she wants to do! Unfortunately she missed Spring soccer, so she will have to sign up for Fall soccer. Which with my luckwill probably fall about the same time as football season. I can imagine, ME, two almost 2 yr olds, Abby cheer practice 3 nights a week, soccer practice whenever during week, and a football game and soccer game every Saturday. OH MY! I just hope that they aren't all going to be at the same time!! That would not be so much fun!
Aaliyah is also VERY much into pink. Pink pink pink. She is very girly! But still has that sporty edge. I think she will make and awesome soccer player! And maybe Basketball player too ;)

And then there is the infamous M&M. Maggie and Madison. They will be 18 months on April 6th. We had a doc visit last week, and Maggie FINALLY weighs more than Madison. But only 9oz! Maggie is still an inch taller than her though. Maggie is 23lb 12oz, Madison 23lb 3oz! Our doc visit was due to high fever. No fun. Turns out no strep, no flu., just teething!! And by teething I mean, getting multiple teeth in at the same time, don't want to eat, sleep, or play, only time they are comfy is when Mommy or Daddy is holding them TEETHING. It has been a week now, and it is just now starting to get a little better. After going out of town a few days they have been SO off schedule, and are just now getting back to normal status. Thank goodness. I can't handle the off scheduleness very much!
Quick updates (i have so much to still tell!) Maggie is ALL over the place and mean as a snake. She has began the hitting sister, pulling sisters hair, and stealing toys phase. To which I CAN'T wait to be over. IF it ever does end! But she can be very sweet too. She is my cuddler! She snuggles and gives kisses!
Madison is also ALL over the place! She is the more content one and sweeter one. She can quietly play by herself and doesn't require as much attention as sissy does! But she has that streak too. Make her mad and she falls out. And by fall out I mean just that. She falls backwards hitting her head on the floor, or anything that happens to be behind her. Scares me. I told Michael I hope she isn't creating brain damage! But I have NO idea how to get her to stop.
They both are using lots of words, and repeating just about everything you say to them. They both also know almost all body parts and can say them! They love to have books read to them, and is starting to enjoy cartoons. Where as before even when Sprout was on, they never payed much attention to it. Now they will stop and look a tv for several minutes. They both also follow directions very well! Hope that phase never ends!!

As I mentioned before we had to go out of town for a few days. Tuesday, March 8th, started off as a normal day. I was off work, Michael was asleep after just coming home from work. The babies and I had some stuff to exchange at Carter's and Victoria Secrets, so we were all ready to head to the Avenues. As I was pulling up to the bank I rec'd a text message. From Michael "My granny's dead". I immediately starting bawling, and rushed home as quickly as I could. Michaels grandmother was a HUGE person in his life. He was very close to her, and I knew this was going to be very hard for him. When we got home, I told babies to go see Daddy, they both ran down hallway into our room, I put them up on the bed and they just layed on him, as if they were hugging him. It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen. The tears built up again. So after knowing details, turns out she had passes peacefully in her sleep. At a ripe age of 91 she definitely lived a fulfilling life. The funeral was scheduled for that following Monday, March 14th. Abigail's birthday was March 12th. So originally we had planned on taking Abigail and her friends to Stars and Strikes for some girl fun! We post-poned that to this past weekend, and instead had a low key birthday at home. Which she was most excited about leaving for Michigan that same night, she didn't mind at all! I did my usual decorating of the house, made her fav cupcakes! My mom, sister, niece, aunt, and Abby's other aunt all came over for a late lunch! It was nice! She had a great birthday (and ended up raking in $100!! of birthday money!!, no worries, it is all going in her savings acct!)
Following all birthday celebrations we headed out that Sat night about 8:30pm. We rented a minivan to take us all up there comfortably! (Michael's cousin rode with us too) It was about 12 hours to Michigan. And the last 4 hours were pure hell!! Maggie decided she could no longer sit in car seat and decided to scream the car down. She cried for hour, non stop. Till I eventually had to get her out just to calm her down! (at the time we were unaware of teething taking place) Anyway we arrived in Michigan about 9 am Sunday morning. And quickly began family activities. We got ready and went to Michael's uncles church where they were having a big Sunday dinner for the family. YUM. (BTW no diet that weekend!!) And followed that with going back to Michaels brothers house (aka cousin, but close enough to call him his bro) We decided to just stay the night there, and go back to where we were staying in the morning to get ready for funeral. We set up port-a-cribs for babies, and I got babies ready for bed, so Michael could spend time with his family. Well what was supposed to have been a few min getting babies to bed, turned into a 6 hour fight trying to get Maggie to sleep. I practically never got to leave the room bc she would just scream anytime I did. But I was glad Michael got to enjoy his family. Maggie continued the fussiness through the night. She ended up sleeping on Michaels chest most of the night, and we were up and down every 1-2 hrs with her. Unbelievable. She had NEVER done that before. Madison once she fell asleep never got back up.
We barely got everyone up and ready and to the church for funeral on time the next morning. With no sleep, and no shower, I felt like total shit. Sorry for word usage, it felt appropriate. To top it off Maggie decided to show her tail off during funeral (go figure, no sleep) and Madison decided to fall asleep, then woke back up with fever!! Even though babies were not cooperating at all, I think God kind of did it on purpose. Michael was distracted with babies, it help keep his mind off the emotional part of the funeral, and kept him a little sane. ;) I on the other hand was a ticking time bomb. I have never been to a 'black' funeral before. And I can honestly say I have NEVER felt that way before. Every song, every scripture, every story told brought a tear to my eye (in between chasing Maggie of course) It was beautifully done. Momma White had requested no tears, but instead a party for her "Going Home Celebration". Well I sucked on the no tears part! After funeral and burial, there was in fact a party for her, cake and ice cream, and delicious food! We ended up leaving that night, and heading home. And the ride home, well lets just say I do not want to re-live it. Imagine what I said about the ride to there, and then multiply that by 10. It was horrid. I never again want to experience that, EVER!
I had never been more happy to see home, lay in my own bed, and babies in THEIR own beds!
We had the laziest day ever that next day. It was AWESOME!
This week the sadness came back again. My brother-in-laws grandmother passed this past Monday. While it wasn't a shock, they were expecting it, it doesn't make it any easier. I will be attending that funeral tomorrow. Not only was she my sisters grandmother-in-law, she was also my Sunday school teacher practically my whole life! That women was a Saint, and I am sure will be right along the side of Mrs. White in receiving her crown of glory! Heaven has had a busy month! My mom and I were talking about March and it's events. My daughters bday, my sisters birthday, my bro-in-law birthday, anniv of the death of my mothers grandmother, my grandmother on my dads side, and now Michael and Johns grandmother. Wierd!
Definitely not the luck of the irish!
IRISH, I almost forgot ST. Patricks Day!! Nothing too special to be blogging about. But I did make a homemade Sheperd's Pie, and girls took fun snacks to school! Can you believe they have school pictures on St. Patty's Day?? Every year my girls spring pics from school are them in green! It is really starting to aggravate me!!! k... what else... oooh yeah
This Saturday is my Twin Consignment Sale. I belong to the Gwinnett Mothers of Multiples club, and participate in their consignment sales twice a year. Well this one couldn't have come at a worse time! But I managed to put together roughly about 150 items to sale! So hoping to sell lots and come out profiting enough for a brand new 'big girl' side by side stroller that I want for them, AND new spring clothes for everyone! Woot woot =o) Keep fingers crossed for me!
Anyone in area, Saturday March 26th. Salvation Army off Sugarloaf in Lawrenceville, GA. 8a-12:30p normal shopping... 1p-2p 50% sale!!! Over at 2! Come support the mothers of multiples, even if you don't have multiples all clothes are sold seperately for all children, up to size 14, plus lots of toys, strollers, car seats, furniture and SO much more!! Come see me at the cashier station =o)
