Allie & Justin: Busy Weekend!!!

This weekend was pretty busy, atleast the busiest I have been in quite awhile!!! It started when I offered to take my niece Kelsie for the day on Friday! We had a lot of fun, she is so cute and the cutest little personality!! So I picked her up about 1, and I had a few errands to run, so I brought her with me, and we went to the store so I could pick up so treats and healthy things for us to eat, but it was mostly treats. LOL. So as I walked into Smiths, I had to go to the ATM, to get some cash, and it was really awkward! I know what your thinking! How can going to the ATM be awkward? Well, I happened to pass a few people I went to High School with, that I haven't seen since. And I had this 3 year old in my cart. I couldn't help but notice that as I was getting my money, they kept peaking around the corner to look at me. And Kelsie was just blabbing away. lol. So I tried to hurry and finish so I could get on with my shopping trip. I would claim Kelsie in a heartbeat, but it was just really weird & awkward to have people peaking around to look at you. It was so obvious lol. Anyway, so I started walking down the isles, and I asked Kelsie, do you want some COOKIES??? She gasped, and yelled COOKIES!!!! YES I WANT COOKIES!!! so I asked her what kind of cookies after I had narrowed it down to 2 flavors, Chocolate Chip or Pumpkin? She mumbled and rambled on for a second, and then I heard: Yummy Chocolate Chip, So I took that as a Yes, then the shopping commenced. We passed the dairy section, and she Gasped again! And said AHIE!! (that's how she says my name) LOOK COWS!!!! And she started MOOING!!! and everyone around me was cracking up! Then I walked down an isle and asked her what a doggy said, and she started barking it echoed up and down the isle, and the guy behind me couldn't help but laugh!! So I grabbed the last of what we needed and checked out. When we came home she immediately started playing with Scooter, who she calls Goota! Running up and Down the Hall, and throwing his toys to him. Scooter loves Kelsie! So then we sat down and had lunch, and Scooter was watching every single bite she took. LOL!!!

Then after she destroyed my basement, by getting all the toys out and spreading them around, we went to grandma's house and played there for an hour, and after she did the same thing to Grandma's we then we drove up to the Bountiful Temple to meet my Bro In Law. and then we went shopping again! Then we decided it was time to take Kelsie home, and we went back to my house to grab her things and we brought Scooter along for the ride. We were singing Shania Twain, and my mom started singing and Scooter got up and wanted to come sit on my lap, and then she stopped and he sat down on her lap again. And then she started singing again, and he was fighting to come to me again LOL!!

So, by that time, Justin was done with work and we decided to go buy all of the food for Justin's brother Jame's wedding on tuesday! I had a $100 budget to feed 60 people with. So we sat down with James and we decided to make Lasagna for everyone. Which is a big expensive choice, but we managed to stay under the $100 budget!!!

we bought:

5 boxes of Lasagna Noodles @ $1.00 each

10 Jars of Prego Marinara @ $1.00 each

4 Containers of Ricotta Cheese @ $2.50 each

5 lbs Bag of Mozzarella Cheese @ $14.00

12 lbs Ground Beef at @ $20.00

4 Bags Texas Toast at @ $2.00 each

3 Giant Bags Salad @ $1.50 each

2 Salad Dressings @ $.98 each

Dozen Eggs @ $1.50

2 Bags Croutons @ $1.00 each

Bacon Bits @ $1.00

2 Brownie Mixes @ $1.00 each

The total came to about $91.00!! We saved almost $50.00 by price matching!!! We got home from the store about 10:30, I was so tired!! And I had a show the next morning from 11am-2pm. So I went straight to bed!!!

So the next morning I woke up about 8am, and got ready for my show. I got to Layton about 10:30 and set up for the show.


This was my set up for the show!

My sister is a Paparazzi Accessories Consultant, and we had someone selling bows, and Purses. The next picture is just 1 of many tables my sister had set up.

The show wasn't a money maker that's for sure, but we had fun. Lots of good treats and I got a really cute purse out of it!! If anyone is interested in any of the products from Paparazzi, Pampered Chef, and if you are looking for a Purse, let me know. It is the time of giving after all. And it's always a good time to treat yourself!!!
