The MacDonald's

The funniest thing just happened!!  Jaidyn was singing "rolling in the deep" by Adele, Karaoke style and apparently there's a part in the song where they say sh**.  She was so into the song and accidentally blurted the word.  She started hysterically crying and said "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Big crocodile tears, all dad and I could do was laugh.  It was so darn cute and the fact that it bothered her so much was even cuter!!  She said "now I feel like such a bad person." She was so upset and I finally told her, if you feel that bad go in and say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father for forgiveness.  So she did, she came back red eye'd and said "I'm never doing that again, why do so many songs have such bad words in them?"  Isn't that the truth!! We actually had it videotaped, but she quickly erased it!!  Darn it, that would have been a super funny one to keep for when she got older.  HAHAHA

It has been a very long time since I last wrote on our family blog and so I feel the need to update.  Last October our 3 little foster kiddo's, Luis, Luhani and Lana left our home.  It was a very sad day for us, and we miss them EVERY single day. To keep my mind occupied and busy,  I took up a job at the Elementary school working with the Pre-k kids as an Aide, and I am loving my job.  The schedule is perfect!  I work M/T and T/F.  Off on Wednesday and every 4th Friday, plus I'm on Green track (our school is year round) the same track Jaidyn is on, so I get to go to school with her as well as be out of school at the same time.  I am loving all of the time I am getting to spend with her.  And she loves having me at the school.  One day I asked her "what do you like better?  When mommy was a fostermom and was always home when you got there, or having mommy work at your school with you?"  And she said without any hesitation "having m...

We've been slowly trying to build up our food storage again.  It has taken us a longer time this time but I couldn't resist when I saw the ads at Smith's this week.  This is what I bought 100 bottles of smart water. 5 boxes of capri sun 36 packets of albacore tuna 10 boxes of fettuccini 3 bags of shell pasta 4 bags of bowtie pasta 2 packets of annie's mac and cheese 3 boxes of fakin' bacon 10 pears 3 oranges 1 box of orange juice 1 box of our FAVORITE - Almond milk chocolate milk 1 carton of eggs 2 packages of kool-aid All for $100.23 we saved a total of $183.56 so if we would have paid regular price it would have cost almost $300.00.  I LOVE bargain shopping.
