Still Feeling Icky

This morning my throat is worse, and the sinus pressure is driving me batty. Thade was up late last night with the sniffles, and Dylan was up late too. 7:00 a.m. arrived all too early this morning, and I needed to make breakfast.

This morning I attempted to make a Puffy Oven Pancake, it didn’t puff as much as I thought it would, maybe I over mixed it. Even though it wasn’t too fluffy James and I ate every bite of the Pancake. It was really delicious πŸ™‚ I think I’ll add it to the breakfast menu!

I also had 2 large cups of coffee in my new coffee cup (thanks Hubby) with a box of Vicks scented Puffs (thanks Mom) to help out my head cold.

Decorating with a Head Cold

Well today is the big party for Thade, and Dylan and I are not feeling so great, it is our turn for the cold/flu/yucky stuff πŸ™ I’m trying to rally and get everything ready for company at 3:30 p.m., but I’m just not feeling up to it. Thade thought it was pretty funny seeing Mommy climbing all around the dining room decorating with Balloons and Crepe Paper. Nico+standing on top of a chair+ balloons and tape= not a good idea πŸ˜‰ Blowing up those 18 balloons has me feeling a bit woozy…

Coupon Savings for January 2008

I’m still shopping with my coupons in 2008 and this year I hope to save even more. In January I saved a total of $45.96 just using coupons! I’d say its a great start to saving a little extra in the new year πŸ™‚

Party #1

We had a little party for Thade on his birthday, and we all had so much fun! We are planning a second party with the rest of the family this weekend. ThadeΒ  got to open his presents at Breakfast, and he was thrilled to get the Ben 10 HeatBlast action figure πŸ™‚

Thade even helped out making some super yummy Vanilla Birthday Cupcakes, and everybody wore Party Hats at dinner. I hope tomorrow’s party is just as fun πŸ˜‰
