London Nicole Fitzgerald
The newest addition to the family. Our niece, London! Proud parents are Clarks bro, Stuart and his wife Angie!! She was born Oct 3.
Pumpkin Patch
This was our second year going to Walden Farms. Last year was okay and this year was a little better. I am sure the older MGF gets the more fun it will be. It would have been more fun this year, but I forgot to bring cash and there were several things that you had to pay to do. Hay Ride, cornbox and some type of playground. But he did enjoy the animals and other free activites. Sadly enough we didn't get any pics with pumpkins and we didn't get a family pic.
YES YOU CAN!
We are back up and running with getting out pics off the camera and onto the comp. I have alot of updating and pics to post but I wanted to start with this one because I am so excited! AND clark said " I am so proud of you". Which is HUGE FOR ME!
For the past couple months I've been couponing and have cut our grocery bill by only a little. But 2 weeks ago I decided to put a little more time and effort into it to see if I could get it lower and to see if I could get the deals that you hear about people getting hundreds of dollars of groceries for next to nothing. Well I did it!!!
Today I got $250 worth of groceries for $147. You are prob. thinking that is not good. Well that is enough groceries to last 2 weeks. AND the pic you see is all the items that I will need to store is a tupper ware container in the attic because I stock pilled and it wil be weeks maybe months before we will use all this. This is $58.98 worth of groceries for $21.22 after coupons and Kroger savings. AND my pantry is FULL!! A couple things are so close to falling off the shelf. ALSO full, the frig and the deep freezer. I do have to admitt. I went a little over our monthly budget but I think I cut out a whole weeks worth of shopping next week. So it makes since!!
If you think couponing is not a god deal. Just spend a little time and effort and you will see it's worth it!!!!

Yes, we are here and life is good. However...
As usual in the Fitzgerald home, we are having multiple technology issues and our camera is not working (as far as putting them on the computer). Also, the camera on my phone is not working either!! So i have no way to load pics. As soon as we can get things working again, I'll post some pics of what has been going on the past few weeks. :)

Update
Clark and I are going to look at a car today that we found on the internet that we are both REALLY excited about! I hope it's the one. For me, it was love at first sight ;)
On another note.
About 3pm yesterday our AC went out and here I am 8:30am the next morning with no AC. We thought maybe it would be a rough night because it would be hot, however it wasn't the heat tht kept us up. Micaiah, even though it was quiet cool in th house decided he would not go to sleep until midnight and he has preschool this morning. I have a feeling we maybe late. The AC man should be arriving any minute though.
While we are on the topic of things not working and since that seems to be the theme in our lives right now, we are offically down to one computer and Clark has to take it to work each day. That's why I'm blogging at the crack of dawn! No internet for me!
When life give you lemons you just got to swallow them whole sometimes. No sweet lemonade here.

"Clark your van is on fire!"
Last saturday Clark got home from work, came in and got a shower, I made him some lunch and he sat down to eat. As I lifted the blind in the kitchen to kill a fly, I see FLAMES coming from underneath clarks van.
"Clark, your van's on fire!!"
"No its not."
"YES.....IT....IS!!!!"
So i started scrambbling to find something to fill with water, clark runs and gets our neighbhor and our neighbor grabs his COAT.???? His coat??? He thought clark said our fan was on fire. Still don't know how a coat was going to help. LOL. I called 911 and the guys grabbed the hose and put the fire out. In the mean time, a firetruck and police car are flying into our drive way. I am sure we were the talk of the neighborhood. Looking at the van, you wouldn't think anything was wrong with it, but if you open the hood the don't have to know anything about cars to know its all burnt up!
So here we are a week later, no vehical, but the van was considered a totally lost and we got a check, but now we haven't decided on a vehical. This is a big deal to ue because we are DEBT FREE and can't decided if we sould go ahead and get something (at a reasonable price) that will be good for us, that we like but a small amount of debt, or get another klunker, have no debt and maybe in another year or so have something go wrong. We are trusting that the Lord will provide. Our prayer is that we will be PATIENT until he shows us what to do. We want to honor him with the money that he has blessed us with.

He ran the other way...
Today was the first offical day of preschool!! EEEEEE!!!!
I got a little nervous this morning because at 8:15 MGF was still asleep and we needed to be leaving the house by 8:50 but right about 8:20 he popped up and our first school day morning started. Breakfast, getting dressed, packing lunch, brushing teeth and out the door we went.
For those of you who don't know the school that we put MGF in this year is at the church we go to so when we walked in the Preschool Wing, he knew where he was. He started running and almost tripped over himself he was going so fast. Most kids have to be pulled off their parents and handed over to the teachers but Micaiah ran in with full force and never looked back. Kind of sad....
Unfortunatly I got nothing done around the house. Wasn't even home. Last saturday Clarks van caught on fire in the drive way (will post a story about this later) so in our spare time (hahaha) we've been car hunting. Which is what we did today only it was another unsuccesful trip.
Micaiah has to be picked up by 1:30 but we missed him so much that we went, together, at 1 to get him. I was so excited to see him I was practically running from the car to the building. I just knew aftr 4 hours he would come running and display how much he had missed us. WRONG!! When we got to his door and he saw us HE RAN THE OTHER WAY AND HID!!! I was crushed! I got a little teary eyed. So when we went to leave and MGF was crying the teacher said, "I've never had that happen." I told Clark later that it made me worry that the teachers would think MGF didn't like us...
All in all it was a GREAT day for him. They have a little note that they send home with him and other than him crying when they brought them in from outside play time he did wonderful!
We ALL are looking forward to next tuesday!!
