Funny sound

Our fridge started making a funny sound a few weeks ago. Nothing major, just annoying. It was working fine and we didn't see anything obviously wrong with it. SO like normal people we ignored it. Yesterday it decided not to be ignored anymore. I bought a 2l drink at the store on my way home. When I got home I got some ice from the dispenser for my drink. I noticed the ice was coming out a little slow and seemed to be a little soft. But I was so focused on my Diet Sundrop I didn't pay it any mind. Fast forward to later. My baby helped me make our super of homemade personal pizzas (which were sooooooooo good!). After we ate I went to get more ice for my beloved Diet Sundrop. The ice was even slower to come and more melted. I opened the freezer to see water dripping from the ice maker and everything beginning to thaw. Thank God our parents had given us their old freezer. Hubby put up a fight about getting it because it was old and we would have to move it. I won out on that with the argument it would save money on food since I could buy in bulk and freeze it. So all 3 of us are hauling stuff out to the freezer in hopes of saving it. I checked the fridge but it still seemed all right. Not quite as cold but we thought it was just from having the door open. I got up after my wake up call from E saying she wet the bed. After taking care of that I head downstairs. Hoping and praying the fridge wasn't broke. I open it up and its stuffy and cool, definitely not cold. I wait till the appliance store is open (so I thought) and call only to hear an answering machine. I leave no message. By this time I've called my family asking various questions. They all ask "do you have warranty on it?" to which I answer no since its 3 years old, but make a mental note to check my receipts. I sent hubby out to buy ice to put the food in the cooler to avoid spoilage. I give the appliance store one more call and they still aren't open. So i go to my file cabinet. I found my receipt and it says something about a warranty that doesn't end until 2010. I don't remember buying it but I call anyway. Well thank the Lord we have a warranty and it will be fixed or replaced in full! I love it when God works like that. With all our other expenses this year the last thing we needed was to buy a new refrigerator. So it will be Tuesday before they come out. We just have to live out of a cooler until then.

Nursery Rhyme Day

Today was nursery rhyme day at school. The kids were supposed to dress up as a character from a Mother Goose nursery rhyme. My child wanted to be Humpty Dumpty. Luckily I had all the stuff to whip her up a costume. It's not my best work and the photograpghy is lacking too. Not to mention the pic was taken at 630 am on our way out the door to school. I wanted to fix a hat to complete the egg. I did make one but I messed it up so we went without it. Anyways here's the final result. Maybe I'll take better pics later!

Chuck E Cheese

Well we went to CEC. I must admit, it was pretty fun. I had coupons I had been harbouring. We actually got a great deal. We had a large pizza, 4 drinks(4 cups since that's what the coupon was for), 70 tokens and even splurged for a cup upgrade for birthday girl and spent $21. Not too bad for a place that can cost an arm and a leg. Most of the coupons were from Hi-C I bought over the summer. One was for the food and 2 were for 10 free tokens when you purchase food. You could use up to 3 per person so we got 20 free tokens. Plus since E is signed up on the birthday club she got her Internet coupon for 20 free tokens. We ate almost the whole pizza, drank our drinks and played for about 1 1/2 hours. Oh yeah we did splurge for ice cream ($2). The cups we had were tiny but you got free refills. We tossed the ones we used with supper and kept the other 2 and filled up on the way out. All in all we had a good time. Even walked away with a pair of disguise glasses and a notebook for her. Maybe I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it. I think she had a good birthday! Now for the party tomorrow.................

Happy Birthday

Today is my baby's birthday. She turned 5 at exactly 1:50 pm today. She is so excited! I on the other hand cannot believe that it's been 5 years since I had her. Where has the time gone? How has she made it this long? How have I managed to stay sane this long? lol So far the presents she has gotten (from us and mawmaw and pawpaw) have hit the mark with her. As soon as daddy finishes putting her Dora scooter together and she rides it a few minutes, we are off on a shopping trip and maybe Chuck E Cheese. I must admit I'm not looking forward to the last part. Especially on a Friday night. Of course from the conversation going on downstairs between her and her dad over staying off the furniture, she may not make it anywhere!

furniture

My furniture is supposed to be on its way. I can't wait! This is the first living room furniture I have ever bought. I have part of supper in the oven cooking so when they deliver the furniture we can chow down and then head out the door for E's soccer game. I think we will be cutting it close. I'll try to take a picture after we get it an post it. Hope everyone has a great day!
