Tuesday night it Movie Night at Exeter Library! The movie is Megamind and my girls loved it when we saw it in the theatre! The movie starts at 5:30, but doors open at 5:15. Last month is was really crowded and we were glad to get there early. Be sure to pack dinner (pizza, McDonalds, or something homemade), blankets and pillows for the kids! Last month I brought my Kindle and enjoyed the hour and half reading while the kids watched the movie!!
Hope to see some of you there!!

Stories we tell our kids!
This has been an extra long week with the girls..especially with my 5 year old! I have quickly realized that her will power and stamina is greater than mine! Thanks to facebook, I had a hysterical talk with other moms about the tricks of the trade for raising strong willed kids. One mom had told me that she actually had convinced her daughter that the candy machines were filled with dog treats!
Anyway, tonite my oldest has CCD so I play the game of how to keep my youngest occupied without her sister. One of our favorite things to do is at Exeter Pubic Library...they have Sleepytime Story time from 7 until 7:30. Tonite they will also have the character Biscuit along for the story. The kids can have their pj's on and then home for bed!
One warning...there is a drawing at the end of the storytime! My daughter usually loses her mind and has to be carried out screaming, so needless to say we leave before the drawing!!!e
Hope to see some of you tonite...and let me know any things you have told your kids to help you through your day!!!

Ash Wednesday
Woke the girls up today and was explaining Ash Wednesday today to them. I was still explaining why they can't have pancakes and sausages when I found a dead mouse in the middle of the dining room floor and the cat staring at it! I guess I should have explained it to the animals too! I have 2 tips today. The first is there is a woot off! For those of you that don't know what that is go to http://www.woot.com/. They have daily deals for purchase and when the yellow lights are blinking they sell an item every few minutes! I have purchased a digital camera and video camera. Also look on the bottom right hand corner for kids.woot and wine.woot! The second tip is for Barnes and Noble. Go to http://www.gifts.barnesandnoble.com/ and find the link for Parents Magazine. You can purchase a 2 year subscrition for $10!!

Exeter Library has a great program called Sleepy Time Storytime on Wednesdays night! My girls (ages 5 and 7) have loved it each time we go. It starts at 7pm and ends at around 7:30pm. I like to dress my girls in their pj's so they are ready for bed when they get home! Hope to see some of you there!! The link for other Exeter Library programs is http://www.berks.lib.pa.us/exetercl/
Welcome!
Well, this is my first attempt at creating a blog.

Join my blog to find out what is going on in Berks County and where are the great deals are! Please also feel free to post any great deals that you find as well!!!
