Halloween Activities

2011-10-26T10:53:00.000-07:00

So I thought I'd share all the things I've found so far to do for anyone who loves Halloween! Leave a comment if you have heard of anything else.

Thursday October 27th:

Kroger Kids Night Out (I saw this in the mail ad so I'm guessing any Kroger):
"Bring your kids to Kroger on Thursday from 3pm-7pm for Halloween fun and games. There'll be tricks, treats and activities for the little ones - plus a free glow in the dark Halloween bag for the kids."

Friday October 28th:

Haunted Horns 7 Concert at The Village Theater: 3pm

The entire Village Theater will be transformed and festively decorated to set
the stage as the Canton Concert Band plays songs featuring a Phantom,
witches, mysterious masked men, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters, Pirates and
many other surprises.

Come dressed in your favorite costume and take part in a costume parade.
Each audience member will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win gift certificates, prizes and surprises donated by local merchants.

All proceeds from this concert go to First Step, a safe, secure haven for victims of family violence.

Admission is based on donations at the door with a suggested minimum of $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. Come out and enjoy an afternoon of wonderful music and help First Step support those in need.

Trick or Treat Trail at Summit on the park: 4pm - 7pm
"Show off those great Halloween costumeswhile you follow our path through the Summitfrom room to room collecting goodies & surprises."

Canton Ward Halloween Party: 6:30-8pm
Dinner, games and trunk or treat. Bring cornbread or chili.

Saturday October 29th:
Halloween Story time - Goodnight Goon at Barnes and Noble: 11am
"Come dressed in your costumes and enjoy treats (but no tricks!) as we celebrate Halloween with some of our favorite stories, including Goodnight Goon."

And Downtown Plymouth usually has something where you trick or treat at the shops, but it unfortunately falls on Sunday this year!

Wood Pallets

2011-10-25T14:38:00.000-07:00

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had access to some wood pallets? I know it is random but I would need 2 of them. Thanks!

If any of you get a newspaper, would you mind saving them for me? I need to use it to pack up all of my breakables. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a Dentist

2011-10-21T08:43:00.000-07:00

I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good, conservative dentist in the area. Has anyone had a good experience with their dentist? If so, I would love to hear about it!

Thanks so much!

Small Purse Club

2011-09-06T18:00:00.000-07:00

I went to dinner awhile back with no kids and my friend Rachael commented that she liked, "Small Purse Angie". You know, the Angie with no kids which means no large bag filled with diapers, toys, crayons, etc. etc. and an Angie that actually had a complete conversation with no interruptions.

So I decided to start a club. Every 6 weeks or so I will set a date and name a place for anyone who wants to be part of the Small Purse Club to meet for dinner. We'll meet at 8:30 pm at the designated location. That should give husbands time to get home and bedtime to go rather smoothly but still give us women time to visit and relax. I am open to suggestions for restaurants within 20 min. of Canton and suggest carpooling.

The first SPC event will take place on Tues. Sept. 13th at Silvio's Organic Pizza in Ann Arbor. The website is http://www.silviosorganicpizza.com/. It is one of the best pizza places I have ever been to and I highly recommend everyone trying it out. Let me know if you're interested and see you there!!!

Since Tammy was able to find 3 for $10 pump-it-up passes ( http://livingsocial.com/deals/31938?ref=personalized-link-box-%23%3CPurchase%3A0x12cbd790%3E&rpi=8960914 ), I think it would be fun to get a group together and hang out there one of these days. (I was leaning towards the Monday 10-12 slot.) If you're interested, let me know, and we'll finalize a day. Note: Passes are needed for 2-10 yr olds. (Parents and younger ones are free.)

sorry...

2011-03-29T11:09:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone-

For some reason I have not been successful at getting Google groups to e-mail out all postings on this blog. So I am going to make it public again... so your blog readers will work. If anyone else wants to figure it out I'm happy to turn over the reigns.

Sorry it isn't private.... if anyone is worried, lets try and figure something else out.

Scentsy Online Party!

2010-11-05T12:40:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite things about the Holiday Season are the smells.

A few years ago I was introduced to a wonderful product line,

Scentsy.

Have you heard of it?

If you love candles, you'll love Scentsy even more.

I used the last of my Scentsy supply this last month, and I just found out my cousin, Melissa, is a consultant in Utah.

I got in touch with her, and since she can't come throw a party in Michigan we decided to throw a party online!

A few things I really like about Scentsy:

Aromas.

The large variety of delicious, long lasting smells, and how easy it is to switch between them. You can even mix different smells together in one warmer to come up with your own combinations.

Safety.

What do we always say? Safety first.

Well, Scentsy uses candle warmers to melt the candle wax instead of an open flame. Safer in many ways (fire hazards, kids, breathing toxins...). The wax won't get hotter than body temperature, so it cannot burn skin.

Creative Designs.

They are a great accent to any home decor.

And, I was excited to learn that they now have small plug in warmers for smaller rooms. I'm excited to get some for by bathrooms.

They also make the best gifts!

If you want to check out the products and do some shopping for the holidays, simply go to Melissa's website:

mbroadbent.scentsy.us

In the lower right hand corner of the screen is a text box entitled

My Open Parties.

"Lolly's Scentsy Party" is listed in this box.

Click "Buy from this Party" and it will take you to the Scentsy store where you can browse through all the products.

If anyone wants to go in on orders to save on shipping let me know.

Also, If you are interested in smelling before you buy, please comment. If we have enough people interested, Melissa can send us some samples of smells and we can plan a get together.

Happy Holidays!

Free Babysitting

2010-10-07T05:37:00.000-07:00

"Strengthening Families"
Silvia Allred (1st counselor of the R.S.)

I will watch your kids from as early as 4:30 (If you want to try and grab a bite to eat with your hubby before hand.)
My number is 734-730-5239.

Date Night?

2010-10-06T11:39:00.000-07:00

Since my kids aren't old enough to take care of themselves yet and since I still love and want to spend time with my husband, I thought I would try to find three other families in my same predicament that might want to do a babysitting/date night rotation. I was thinking of Friday nights from 6-8 pm. Give me a call if you are interested or know someone who is.
716-517-0418.

Thanks!
Angie

As a possible remedy to that I have created a google group aroundcantonblog@googlegroups.com . As a member of the group you should recieve an e-mail everytime the blog is updated. If you did not get an e-mail inviting you to the group, and you would like to recieve e-mail updates, please comment here or e-mail me at EmilyBYU@gmail.com and I will add you to the update list.

Thanks! Hope this works :)

Girls Bedding

2010-09-07T19:11:00.001-07:00

I have super cute girl bedding that I am getting rid of. It's a twin bedding set. I bought it in college for myself, but now I don't have a need for it now. Evelyn's new bedroom is pink, and I don't envision us painting it just so we can match with this bed set. I have been saving it, because it's really cute and in great condition.
Here are the details:

Twin,White quilt with red checked lady bugs on it.
Gingham checked sheet set
Lady bug pillow sham
Red lady bug rug
White tall Laundry basket with red checked liner
Two small baskets with red checked liner

I hate to just give it away to Good Will! It's too nice! I would rather have it seen go to someone I know and love! Feel free to email me bethany.swalberg at gmail.com. I can send you pics or you can drop by see it!

Private!

2010-08-23T18:35:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone... I just realized that this blog hasn't been as private as I thought. I have noticed comments from people who I don't think know us. Maybe I am wrong, Please let me know if the case is otherwise... Anyway, I thought for our own security and safety since we are often putting up addresses, places we are meeting etc, that we better make this completely private. If someone you know didn't get an invite please let me know and I'll add them.

Sorry if this is an inconvenience, but I think it is better safe than sorry!

Hey Ladies... I need your opinion for a marketing design for my dads computer program... do you like this graphic and website..... or check out the original. www.startwrite.com. I'd really appreciate your opinion. The product is marketed more towards women and children. It is a handwriting software that allows you to type words in a dot font which can then be printed off and your kids can trace the letters and learn how to write.

Airshow Tickets

2010-08-06T05:27:00.000-07:00

THE TICKETS ARE SOLD--THANKS!!

We purchased tickets to the airshow at Willow Run (Thunder Over Michigan) this weekend. We purchased them in February (we have a die-hard airplane fan in our home) knowing we would go fo sure. Unfortunately, Andrew just got assigned to go out of town on Saturday afternoon and one of our girls is sick. SO, would anyone like to purchase our tickets at a great price--Two tickets (kids 15 and younger are free) plus parking for $35. Currently, if you buy them yourself, you would pay $55 online or $70 at the gate so this is a pretty good deal if you want to go and don't have tickets.

If interested, please call Andrew ASAP 313-515-5187 (Leave a message if he doesn't answer. All that top-secret stuff & sometimes he can't get to the phone-hahaha.) He needs a name for each ticket and your email address to be able to transfer the tickets.

BTW, I have been "dragged" to air shows all over the country and even other countries, and this really is a good one. I always think I won't like it and then I love it and my children love it. Just saying!

Westland Splash Pad

2010-08-04T20:03:00.000-07:00

Book of Mormom ASL VHS tapes

2010-07-23T15:28:00.000-07:00

Does anyone want or know someone that wants the full Book of Mormon ASL VHS tapes. . . there are quite a few. . . I have the full set -the whole Book of Mormon in sign language- and I feel bad just throwing them away. . . I also have the 6 missionary discussions as well. Let me know. If no one says anything I'm going to take them to church on Sunday and leave them by the library and if no one takes them then we're just going to throw them out. Thanks!!!
