Good news!

Aaron kept his job!!! Apparently the cuts were based on job performance. I'm glad Aaron is a good worker and good at what he does. I went right out and spent money.I took the kids out to McDonald's for dinner. Of course, I'm frugal and our total for 5 kids, 1 adult was $20. Then I found out about a sale on t-shirts at disney.com 3 t-shirts for $12! Emily and Caitlyn have about 3 short sleeved shirts between them, so they each picked out 3 t-shirts. Then they each got a nightgown that was also on sale. Now I'm finished spending. Until Saturday when the kids have eye appointments and will likely need new glasses.

In other news, Eric lost his second tooth today, but his new tooth is already partially grown in. The kids spent their Easter gift money at walmart. The girls pooled their money together for a giant ball and a set of bracelets. Eric bought a ninja set. He just wanted daggers and is thrilled to have pictures of worm-like dragons on the daggers. He says his dagger is called Sting and quotes "The Hobbit" often. A few weeks ago we finished reading "The Goose Girl". I grabbed a couple books and asked the kids which book to read next. Emily went and found "LOTR: The Fellowship of the Rings". The kids begged, pleaded, then voted. We've started the book and will be reading the trilogy for the next year probably. My kids are obsessed!
