The kids magazine sale ended this week and we are proud to say that we sold 6 subscriptions this year as a whole. May not seem like a lot, but for us it is. Thanks to those who got new subscriptions or renewals to help support our kids :)
I began taking a Zumba class this week. I am not huge on exercising and usually do not go beyond my Wii Fit Plus, but something drew me to this class....maybe it was the bargain price of only $5 for the class! It kept me moving the whole hour and I felt great by the time I left. I expected to be hurting the next day, but I wasn't at all. Coaching cheerleading must have kept me in better shape than I thought....yahoo!
The kids had their school pictures this week and I am happy to announce that they all did well. Last year Kaplyn got hot in the little jacket I put on her and decided to take it off before the picture and expose the stain on the undershirt she was wearing for the pic....doh!!! Makes me talk like Homer Simpson just thinking about it!!

Little Debbie Petites Yellow Cake!!
I bought a box of these for $1.25 at Shop N Save and I must say, they are delicious! Only 3 grams of fat and you get that nice little bit of cake that is so worth it (especially when you are trying to get weight off by taking Zumba classes!)
Pyramid by Charise featuring Iyaz. I heard this song months ago on Teen Nick and fell in love with it, but never heard it again. I looked it up on YouTube and fell in love all over again :)
A Tribute
My Grandma Martin would have been 95 years old this past Tuesday, we lost her just last month. One of my best rememberances when going to visit my grandma was stepping off of the elevator, making a right and seeing her door with its cute little wreath, slightly open waiting for us. Though the door was open, my brother would always lift the knocker and let it fall (I remember the knocker bouncing a few times when it fell) then I would hear her little old lady italian voice say "Hello". I miss her immensely every day that something reminds me that she is gone. Love to you in heaven....
I made a trip to the grocery store for a weekly coupon visit. I did very well and will blog seperate so you can see all of my great deals :)
I fixed one new recipe this week for French Fish Filets. You can find the recipe on another of my blogs: dede-kneadarecipe.blogspot.com
Sports this weekend were kind of grim. BC played Monessen in Football. Kaplyn and the girls did their best cheering, but we still had a 12-6 loss. What a haul just from the parking lot to that stadium...my back was hurting from carrying 16 water bottles packed in ice!!!
The boys played at Baldwin Whitehall. I really realized what it is like when someone says a team plays dirty. They were shoving our kids, cussing at them, etc...I was so glad to see our kids not taking it and defending themselves by shoving back though it was a shame it had to get like that. I will tell you though...their opponents better watch their stuff...you mess with my kids and you mess with me!! It was the first game ever that I thought there may possibly have been a fist fight on the field. Lets hope that our next opponents have been brought up right by their parents...what is going on in the world today?!
Boo...Dislikes
As the leaves continued to fall, we realized that it was finally time to close the pool. Since we have a heater and the pool is in-ground, we are used to swimming up until October 1. However, this year, the leaves came a little quicker than Greg could keep up with them. Luckily the hot tub will remain open through the winter :)
See you next week!
