Busy Days and a Couple of Winners

Just went I thought a few lazy days were headed my way, I am just as swamped as ever!

Yesterday I went with Henry's class on a field trip to a corn maze/farm.

Today I am headed to the ENT with Eli for a check up.

Tomorrow I am taking my mom to the dentist.

Thursday the boys are out of school for Veteran's Day.

Friday I am volunteering at the boys' school...cutting out Thanksgiving vests:)

I spent Sunday and Monday baking cookies for Staff Appreciation week at church. I made two batches of chocolate chip and one batch of peanut butter....probably close to 10 dozen cookies! Now I just have to cutesy up the cookie jars I got at Hobby Lobby for 50% off {a good sized jar was only $2.50}!

I finally chose the winner for the CSN Stores giveaway! The winner was...

AMANDA!

She really earned it too! I went back and counted her comments....54! I'm SUPER impressed, and SUPER excited that random.org was kind to her:) Amanda I'll email you the information for you Gift Certificate soon!

Also, Sunday I posted a little blurb about a Del Monte giveaway...I was going to use that post as extra entries for the actual giveaway, but since only one person left a comment I decided to give her one of the two $25 gift certificates! Congrats to Dani! Email me your address and I will get your gift certificate to you! Look for the other giveaway to post on Friday!

Now, I have to get my inbox cleaned out and start working on some crafty projects so I have something to post about:) I hope you are all having a great week! I'm enjoying the little bit of cool weather we are having right now...I just hope it will stick around this time!

You're a STAR!

Henry was chosen as STAR Student in his class this week!

To him it means being the line leader and wearing a special ribbon.

To me it means sending a fun star themed lunch to surprise him:)
I used my trusty cookie cutters and secretly got to work making his lunch shine!
