Dan and I have been trying to watch our spending lately. For me that means only buying things that are necessary such as food, needed clothes, gas and Q's school tuition. I really wanted to get family pictures taken and make a build a bear for the baby that's coming, but those things are not necessities. So I cleaned out! I listed some things on Ebay and sold 2 of the strollers we don't use on craigslist. Today we went to the nice mall in town and got pictures and a bear.
The kids were so good for pictures. The more kids we have, the harder it gets for us to get a good picture. It's hard just to get everyone to look at the camera! We were able to get some really good shots and one completely adorable shot of all the boys kissing Thea. When we were done the Picture People gave us coupons for 4 free kids meals at Chick-fil-A. What a blessing!! We were really able to save some money that way. I wish I could post them, but my scanner is not working and we haven't gotten them emailed to us yet. Unfortunately, i look really fat in them, but everyone else looks good so I'll take one for the team and send them out for Christmas anyways.
The best part was when i was backing up after helping arrange the kids and my sock caught on one of the nails that holds the screen down and I fell flat on my butt and then onto my back. Nice. Of course we were right by the waiting area and 3 families all saw my pregnant butt fall. So embarrassing!!! At least it stopped Thea from crying and fussing long enough to get the last picture.
Here are a few pictures from the build-a-bear. I forgot to get a picture of the finished bear, but we were rushing to get to our picture appt. on time. The boys really liked picking out a bear for the baby. They even picked a pink one for her. They named the bear "Mary" for whatever reason and we used the baby's due date for the bear's birthday.
Daddy helps Thea "stuff" the bear.
Quintin and Ashton fluff and brush "mary". 
You can kind of see the finished bear in this picture.
