Croc Craze

I know that you log on your computer just to read what I did today. I know that it makes you smile and feel fulfilled that you can get a glimpse into the life of Julie. HA! Some days I am so bored that I can't even think of anything to write-but not today.

You see, today I found a sale!
You know how we Skutt girls love a sale!

Saturday night when Stephen and I were on our double date, (Did I tell you about that?) Well, we ate at a restaurant that was new to us, and they had the best stuffed mushrooms. I mean it, they were the best mushrooms. You may think you make the best mushrooms, or have tasted the best mushrooms, but unless you have been to Q&Y in Monticello you haven't had them. And the best thing about these mushrooms is that they were on the buffet. We could (and did) load up as many as could fit on our plate. I mean GOOOOOOD!
OK, back to the story....So after we ate we stopped by Walmart and looked around, because without kids, Walmart is a totally different store. And after Walmart we drove by this kids store that was having a going out of business sale. The sign on the window said "Crocs buy one get one free".
So today we went to buy some crocs. I was scared that they would only have little sized crocs but, you know what? The Crocs that were on sale were the bigger size Crocs, the ones I had gone to buy for D&D. I was so excited!! I have never bought Crocs. My kids always have to wear the ones from Payless (except for the ones I got at the local resale store in town. I bought Anna a pair of pink ones for -are you ready?- 25 cents!!!) because I am too cheap to shell out $25-$35 on Crocs when I can get the knock off ones for $8. But this time I shelled out $24 and got 2 pair of Crocs. I was proud!! And so were D&D, and that is what really counts!
So, that is what I did today. I drove 23 miles to buy 2 pair of Crocs for $24. WOO!HOO!
I hope you had more excitement than I did today. Or maybe you have had too much excitement lately and you just need a day of quiet and no surprises, if so I hope you had that.

I'm off to church. I don't care what people say, I enjoy Wednesday night church. I wish more people would give it a try.

I just had to laugh about your comment about Walmart being a totally different experience without the kids, because that's what dh and I always do after a dinner out alone, oh and what fun it is! I say the same thing all the time. Good job on the good deal on the crocs! You sure seem to know how to find a good bargain. Wish we'd have met sooner!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
