Monster Truck Show

The Tailgator!


I won tickets to the Monster Truck show that came to the Breslin Center in East Lansing last week off of WITL! The kids were super excited to go. None of them had ever been. It was my first time going as well. We went early to attend the "Pit Party". The drivers and trucks are all out on the arena floor. It was pretty cool. I can't believe how big the tires are!

We also got to do a Meet and Greet(part of winning the tickets from the radio station) with the 4 drivers downstairs right before the show! It was just us and one other family. It was fun. The kids got a gift bag filled with goodies (hat, flag, pencil and roster). They got their flags autographed and we got our picture taken with all the drivers.

The show was fun. They make it fun for the kids. We had a great night together as a family. I would actually go back, as I found myself having a lot of fun and laughing at the funny parts of the show!

Over or Under?

So the question is, do you like your toilet paper to be over or under? I had to stop and think about this but I tend to be an over kind of girl myself! I just asked my hubby what he preferred and he said "as long as there is a roll of toilet paper on the holder he is happy!" Such a guy answer.

Cottenelle is doing a Roll Poll asking America if they prefer their toilet paper to be over or under! I am entering a contest for a month's worth of Cottonelle toilet paper as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club. You can have a chance to win 1 of 10 Cottonelle gift baskets randomly chosen on January 29, 2010 from all entries (comments) on blogs that are running this contest! You have to leave your "over" or "under" comment on my Money Saving Mama in Michigan blog in order to be eligible for this contest.

I placed in the Photo Contest!

Yesterday I got a letter in the mail letting me know that I won 1st place in the People Enjoying Nature category of the 2009 Eaton Conservation District's Photo Contest! You may remember back about a month ago I posted about entering 4 photos in the contest.

Here is the picture I entered that took 1st place! It is titled "Emily in a Sea of Yellow Trees".


I had to call my mom immediately to let her know since she was the one who encouraged me to enter. My photo will be published in the County Journal in January!

Thanks Mom! :)
