Sheets Arrival!

Friday, June 22, 2012

Our sheets arrived today just like amazon said it would. So far very pleased, they look just like the picture and the color is exactly like they showed it. Hope they feel great!

I've continued to have terrible sleep. I wake up about 4am and toss and turn from pain and think 'Gosh darn when will our bed get here!'.... but i'm being terribly impatient since we only purchased them two days ago and they have to be shipped from the warehouse to the store and then put on a delivery order.... but i don't want to wait! LOL

Anyways i made my two lovely girls model the sheet for you:


 Hehehe.... then i let them play with all the shipping goods.


 Abby wasn't to sure when i put the bubble wrap on her head :)




 Abby was dancing with the bubble wrap.



 Jumping up and down acting crazy! Yelling "El-o Governor!" in an accent. And she came up with that on her own, i didn't tell her to say that LOL


I watched Anabel climb into the box as Sissy helped her.
Anabel once inside "Ok sissy! I'm ready to go to the mountains!"
Abby "Umm... ok bye!"
Then Anabel would bear hug Abby around the neck and they would lean over on purpose and fall to the ground and laugh and laugh. They did this many many times.

Investing In Our Sleep

Wednesday, June 20, 2012

So we made a big decision the other day. Bob had heard a commercial on the radio about a mattress sale going on in Wichita were you could get 3 years of 0% interest.

We had recently been talking about our mattress situation. Bob doesn't sleep good and i have been complaining for over a month now about how mad i sleep and how my arms and back hurt in the mornings. We rarely get restful sleep in less we stay up to late and crash. I also toss and turn all night and wake up countless times in pain.

So we did some figures and decided what me might be able to afford to pay and then we headed up there to see if we could get anything good.

I think it was a year ago (if not longer) when me and Bob where talking about beds, we had decided that when we went to go buy a bed, we would try not to skimp as much as possible.

So we went and tried a tempurpedic bed. Boy were they nice! But we had several people tell us that Sleep Number was better so we decided to go try them out before we chose anything.
For our price range the Sleep Number sucked! It was basically an air mattress. Now i'm sure that if you could afford the nicer sleep numbers that it might be really nice... i don't know but the one in our range (that was still more then the tempurpedic) only had 1in of padding and the rest was the air mattress.... so not impressed.

So we talked it out and decided to go back and go with the tempurpedic beds. Which i am so excited about! We went with the split king ergo adjustable base:


We didn't like the more expensive base with massage and wireless controls... it was unneeded for us so we went with the regular one which had a 20yr warranty on it.


Nice thing was we were able to get different mattress for each of us. I went with soft and bob went with medium. Our beds have a 10yr warranty and 1yr comfort guaranty which means if we aren't comfortable and we want to switch out our bed for something else, we can. The sleep number bed only had a 30day sleep guaranty.


And we picked out some amazing pillows to go with the beds. The bed will be delivered for free sometime in a week he thought (they had to get the beds shipped to them).
All with 3yr 0% interest and our monthly payments are about $100.


We made sure there was no early pay off penalty because we play on paying it off quicker then that.


I'm so excited especially after just having another terrible night of sleep on our old bed. So now we can use our old bed for another guest bed, that will be so nice!


And on top of that we are thinking about having another baby soon. After we bought the beds Bob was like 'no recliner for you'. See when i am pregnant i end up spending about half of the pregnancy sleeping on the couch or the recliner because i am in so much pain at night.... had terrible back issues with the both girls. So now with the ergo bed i should be able to stay up in bed with him. So nice cause i hate sleeping apart from him!


And then because we were going to need sheets obviously (and i wasn't going to spend $150-$200 on sheets at the bed store) i hopped online i went searching for some. I found 1500 Thread count Split King Egyptian Quality Bed sheet set on Amazon for $39.49ea with free shipping (normally $120ea) and got these:




Now it needs to hurry and get here!

Sandbox Filled!

Friday, June 8, 2012

Finally got the sand box filled! They had so much fun! Abby was not sure about sitting in it or standing in it for the longest time, then she got use to it.



































It was quite warm and they played for over an hour out there... then Anabel had a accident in her pants, luckily not in the sand!


So we went in for a luke warm bath and they played in that for maybe another hour LOL I wanted them to get tired because tonight we are going with some church people to the drive in movie theater to watch Madagascar 3.





My silly girls!


It was fun :)

First Package Came

Friday, June 1, 2012



 My messy craft room

And it fits! And i didn't know my mirror was so streaky o.0

One thing i would say about this dress is that i thought the bottom circumference was going to be larger if i just was going on the picture. This dress makes me have to walk like a lady and take smaller steps, either that or i try to put a split in the side, which might be something i end up doing. I might make a slip to go with it too, or some skorts for comfort ^_^ hehe

Cloths

I've been loving finding Asian cloths on ebay for uber cheap. At least one of the dresses i ordered should be here today or tomorrow. It was in Wichita yesterday so i'm so excited! Hope it fits great.


I've been needing a new wardrobe since i had kiddos and my size jumped several sizes. I've been making do but i'm excited to start getting other things. I'm thinking if i can squeeze $20-$30 bucks in a month to purchase an outfit or two at a time, i should start building up a wardrobe that i really like.
