**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**

DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know

It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members.

The JoAnn Fabrics we went to on Friday was jam-packed, and we didn't get there until after noon.

Ya, I love joann's, but the one they put in near the house never has more than 3 cashiers, even on busy holidays and you can easily spend 30 minutes in the fabric line and then another 15-30 minutes in e check out line, so I try to avoid it, but that's where I get all the good coupons for. And hobby lobby isn't open Sunday's, so I suppose I will end up at joann's. I think I am going to bribe Jordyn with used books and videos to take to half priced books to exchange to get her SAT and ACT prep books and have her stop at joann's on the way back.

Alright, I filled a paper box full of toys to donate of the kids. It's definitely not half, which was my goal, but goodness those stuffed animals take up a lot of room In their room and they play or sleep with them often. I can't wait til DH and I finally decide on some organization system for their room. But I'm pretty happy with how much more room we have in the living room again.

I can't see having the time or stress this year.

I don't think it's bad at all. I've cut down the list of people I send cards to substantially over the years. I still send them out because other than the in-laws and ny brothers, none of my family is on Facebook and I am horrible about updating photos, so relatives are still my main card getters. And I've went to spading the photo cards, I bought a $15 living social deal for $40 worth of cards on a new card website. I'm hoping to put them together tonight since jordyn is done editing photos now, I'd just like one group picture of the kids in their holiday sweaters for the cards and mugs fr my mom and grandmother.

Been up and to the grocery store already. Disney has started getting rid of the preschool shows earlier or something, it's 10 and they are already done for the morning. I may have to start dvr'ing them more often.

Much more creative than my main gift to DH. I'm giving him cash.
