Reber - Round -Up

Game time - We recently got a new geography game and it proved to be a hit!

 We like to pick puzzles up at Goodwill - Meg did this 300 piece puzzle by herself.

 Owen LOVES candles.....then we figured out it is the lighting of the candles he really likes.   I think I will included a box of matches in his stocking this year.

 My mom picked us up another bulletin board.  She only paid $2.50 for it!! We were super excited and Owen helped me hang it up this week.

Owen had team pictures this week at hockey.  Meg and I can hardly stand the hockey rink these days.        You walk in and the smell hits you in the face. It is a combination of stinky unwashed hockey gear, sweat, and tons of smelly boys.  Sometimes we step outside to drink in some fresh air. It is intense!

These pics just make me smile.

Next week are getting together with family to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Because we will not all be together at Christmas we decided it would be best to exchange gifts between the cousins at Thanksgiving.  This year we decided to make it less stressful for everyone by setting a gift limit of $5.00 and gifts had to come from thrift stores.  Well this is right up our alley!! On our weekly thrifting adventures we have been on the hunt for gifts for all of our cousins.


Meg spotted this Pokemon piggy bank and we have a cousin who is super into that.  Hooray!

 Next up this pig popper still in the packaging!  Score!

 We were told Asa loves floor puzzles so this fits the bill.  Only $2.00

For the older kids we said gag gifts would be fun.  So for our 13 year cousin Abigail we found these rocking neon heels.  Now these beauties came in at $5.50..... but I used my GoodWill frequent shopper card and got 20% off.

 Meg sporting them

 For our 12 year old cousin Ian we got Toilet Football.  He is a big soccer player and we felt this gift could improve his game.   This  gift is border line inappropriate but we think it will be funny.

 Tyler loves Mario so we found him this shirt.

We have one cousin left to buy for.  He is a sports fan so we are looking for a football.  We are heading out today to look for this last gift. I have a big road race this weekend.  It's in the mountains so I am hoping it won't be too cold.  Meg is going with me so it will be a girl's trip.

Team Reber is looking forward to some turkey and pumpkin pie!!   More to come next week!!
