Funnies #3

We have already gotten into the holiday spirit in our household by singing Christmas carols. As I was getting Harper ready for bed tonight I started singing "Santa Clause is coming to town." Harper immediately clung to me and buried her head in my shoulder. I asked her what was wrong and she said "I scared." I asked her why and she said "Santa's coming!"

Little does she know that this is a good thing!

Walmart Price Match Policy

Do you realize that Christmas is only 2 months away?!?! I am working on my Christmas list and I am keeping my eye out for coupons and hot deals for items on my list. I want to start buying a few things here and there so I don't have to spend so much money in December, but I am worried that I will be able to get a better deal when the holiday sales start. Walmart has a program that will help me ease my worries - the holiday price guarantee program.

Walmart Price Match Policy

Wal-Mart has announced a holiday price guarantee program.

The price guarantee program is good on purchases made November 1st through December 25th that are available at a competitor’s store within the same local market. Under the Christmas Price Match program, Walmart will offer shoppers a refund on the difference if they find the same product they purchased at a Wal-Mart store advertised for a lower price elsewhere.

To get a gift card for the difference, customers must bring in their original receipt and the local competitor’s printed ad before December 25th . Items placed on Walmart layaway are also eligible for the Christmas price guarantee.

The offer excludes Black Friday ads and Internet pricing, among other restrictions.

HAPPY SHOPPING :)

Bye Bye Crib

Adam and I decided that it was time for Harper to move out of her crib and into a big bed. We had no real reasons other than Adam's sister gave us a twin bed that they weren't using and it was being stored in our guest room; so we were reminded of the 'bed transition' every day! Harper has never tried to climb out of her crib or has shown any other signs that indicate that she's ready to move into a big bed. She probably would have slept in her crib until she was 5 if we'd let her!

We are on night #2 in the big girl bed and she has been doing well. Harper hasn't tried to get out at all - not even for her afternoon nap today. I'm pleasantly surprised with how smooth the transition has gone so far. However, I realize that the day WILL come when she discovers that she can crawl out of bed and protest sleep! I'm not looking forward to that phase and Adam and I already have talked about our 'parenting actions' when that day does come.

Here are a few pictures of Harper's new room!

No more crib and changing table!

Harper thinks the rug is a blanket and likes to drag it around the house....

Notice the pretty wall decals - they are no longer on the walls because they won't stick to the texture. I am currently trying to use my crafting skills to come up with an alternative...

Next big step = POTTY TRAINING!
