Super Mario Beatbox
Ya’ll know we are huge Mario Bros. fans and this is one of the coolest Mario things yet. My boys are making me play it over and over again. Anthony keeps saying “that’s so not possible.” LOL
A Mario Lovers Deal of the Day (CLOSED)
I’ve already been telling you about the amazing Sam’s Club Holiday website and I’ve mentioned that they are offering a “Special Buy of the Day” everyday until Christmas. Well today, I get to tell you about the most coolest ever Deal of the Day!
If you have spent any time at all on my blog, you will know that my boys are obsessed with playing the Wii and especially Mario & Luigi (better known as the “Mario Brothers”). Well today Nintendo released the new and improved Wii version of the cult classic that started it all: “Super Mario Bros.”
And Sam’s Club has it on SALE!
Today only, Sam’s Club has Super Mario Bros. Wii on sale for only $45.42 (delivery) or $42.88 (in club). The original price is $49.99.
This is a MUST HAVE on our Christmas list. I am so excited to get it today (and at a deal!).
If Mario Brothers isn’t really your thing, be sure to check out the Special Buy of the Day section on the Sam’s Club Holiday Site for more deals. There is a new specially priced item every single day.
Sam’s Club is offering one $25.00 gift card as a prize to one of my readers! You can use this gift card towards purchasing a membership (if you don’t have one already) or you can use it to SHOP…maybe you can use it towards the Deal of the Day!

Halloween 2009 Recap
This year, Halloween came and went so quickly I hardly had time to prepare. I had all these grand ideas and a party planned in my head, but nothing ever happened.
No decorations.
No creepy food.
No spiderwebs.
No mummy hot dogs.
Wow, I’m really lame.
Well, I did put orange food coloring into their pancakes this morning if that makes up for any of it.
We did take them to the pumpkin patch out at my husbands work. They have a little patch for the employee’s kids and each child gets a free pumpkin. It’s one nice little thing about his job at the casino.
Everyone had fun picking pumpkins except Bobo. He’s a homebody and all he wanted to do was go home. His big brother had to pick his pumpkin for him and put it in the wagon because Bobo was having NO part of it. Of course, he did enjoy decorating the pumpkins and here you can see his little happy dance for a job well done.
Friday night, the little town we live in held their annual “Main Street Trick or Treat.” I thought it was stupid to not have it on Saturday night, but I guess it had something to do with having crossing guards available. The crossing guards were really nice, prior years we’ve just set bad examples by running across the busy 4 lane street.
I had a GREAT time dressing the boys up. Remember I told you that I was going to dress the brothers as Mario & Luigi and then Mr. A. decided he needed to be Darth Vader (he couldn’t resist the lure of the red light saber). I hated the cheap polyester costumes being offered up by Costume Express so I went on my own.
I found THE best Mario & Luigi hats from a website called Mario Friend. They were real cotton (probably a blend) “painter” style hats. The ones at Costume Express were cheap stiff polyester stuff and cost more. So I ordered here and loved the hats. SO cute. We saw several other “Mario’s” out trick or treating wearing the commercial costume and they looked terrible. Our boys were THE BEST! Really…I’m not just saying that…
Judge for yourself:
This is my new very favorite picture of the brothers. <3
The ever frightful Darth Vader
Oh, and Mr. A’s Darth Vader costume came from the Halloween store at the mall (not sure the name) but it’s a cheap polyester costume that I hate…but what do you do when they insist? The velcro closure on the back ripped off and the seam at the waist was separating…all before we even left the house! The worst $57 bucks ever spent.
So tonight we’ll head over to some friends houses to do a little “house to house” goody gathering. I can’t believe it’s over. Only 54 days till Christmas…
