Yard Sale Season

Saturday I decided to see if I could sneak out sans kiddos and hit some yard sales. I was looking for Ethan & Liv clothes but found some steals on toys.

*binoculars .25

* jump rope .25

* 7 Rescue Heros & Vehicle 2.50

* Rollerblades 1.00

* And 2 free kites

So who else scored yard saleing this weekend? Maybe some Strawberry Short Cake deals..hmm??

What Would Dave Ramsey Do?

I have a couch that requires a slipcover. I paid ALOT of money for it to be made in spring of 2007. The owner of the store has had one problem and excuse after another, and finally seems willing to order my cover. It has supposedly been ordered 2 times, maybe the third will be the charm.

I now have a debt in the exact amount as the slipcover, and possibly the willingness of this lady to refund.

My couch is in tatters and I really need this slipcover...

Would Dave want me to have a beautiful new slipcover that I have been waiting 2 1/2 years for? Or should I take the money and pay off my debt?

~~~sigh~~~ I think I know.... Do you think it would be hard to make one?

Trick or Treat

Pumpkin Carving

Alien Slime Waffles

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
3 eggs beaten
1/4 cup butter melted
2 cups buttermilk

1 tsp green food dye

disclaimer unless you are a kid, skip this meal! The green food color is not so good on older GI systems...and their will be a fun science project for the kids to discuss come the next morning in the potty!! Cool lime green poo!!
Pam for the waffle iron(if you don't use it they will not stay green)

In a bowl mix dry ingredients, in a seperate bowl mix together wet ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, allow to rest for 5 minutes. Heat the waffle iron and start making waffles.

And of course the last one I made just the way my mom like it!
