Last night Ken and I ordered my plane tickets. My MIL (Mother-In-Law) sent us a link to Orbitz.com and we managed to save $200.00 from our original price by changing airlines to NorthWest and leaving on the 4th instead of the 5th. So we are still working out the details – still no work on Ken and Germany though on the company site the date of the convention has changed from the 2nd-5th to the 1st-3rd. What is comes down to is how long will we need someone to watch the twins while we are both potentially gone? My mom is booking off the 4th-7th so we do have her available but it is alot to ask to have one person handle the two of them alone – trust me I KNOW LOL.
I have to call Toys’R’Us today and check on the availablity of the wagon we want to get the twins for their 2 1/2 birthday party on the 19th. I think the plan is to go to the city this coming Saturday to do some baby clothes shopping, pick up the wagon, go to Michaels to get some craft supplies and get me an actual nursing top as well as stop at Old Navy to check for clothes for me. I hate to spend so much at once but we did get the Family GST cheque and we do need to get stuff at the best price possible. Ken and I are debating getting a Costco card and doing bulk shopping once a month when we come to see the Den Otters anyway. Anything to cut costs especially since we have heard whispers of a duplex opening up in the future… for $100.00 more than we are paying now but it would mean we could get rid of our storage unit ($40.00 about) and give us MORE ROOM plus laundry (not more quarters YAY). So fingers crossed and prayers said…
It has warmed up on us again so the van is a bit of a cooker. Thank goodness we are not going anywhere really this week, though Emanuel is off for his shots tomorrow.
Life is looking a little more cheerful today… the baby is napping and the twins are playing somewhat nicely. Count my blessings today
