Motivate Me Monday #197 {Block Party}

October 28, 2013 by Kaysi 6 Comments

Hello everyone!!  I am so glad that you are here today!  Can you believe that Halloween is only 3 days away?  Crazy!  Are you ready yet?  I still have to do some finishing touches and still trying to convince my 4 year old to go with our theme… it’s not going well :).

I just wanted to share with you this awesome coupon for $2 off Snickers and Milky Way bites.  They are only $2.50 at Walmart, so you can score a bag for only $.50!  You can only print it out for a couple more days, so don’t wait.  Go here to print it out.

This past week we took family pictures and they actually turned out pretty good.  Come back on Tuesday and you can see more of our family pictures and I have some tips on how to take pictures with young kids and a tripod.

And now it’s time for this awesome party!
It's Time for a Block Party! Link up at one of these great blogs and be seen on all four! Making the World Cuter, Sumo's Sweet Stuff, Rae Gun Ramblings and Keeping it Simple

Hosted by: Making the World Cuter, Sumo’s Sweet Stuff, Rae Gun Ramblings & Keeping it Simple
This week is hosted by Tiffany at Making the World Cuter.
Here are a few of my most recent posts: Bat Costume, Doctors Costume, Let’s Cuddle Art.

Halloween is just a few days away, so if you have been procrastinating I rounded up some last minute ideas from our hosts.
