This weekend, Monster Jam took over the Resch Center in Green Bay and they got down and dirty. Before the show kicked off, Alex took Alexander and Ellie over to the Party in the Pits so they could get a really good look at the trucks.
This was Ellie’s first time seeing the monster trucks and she couldn’t believe how big they were. Her favorite was Scooby Doo.
After the Party in the Pits, it was time for the boys to find their seats at get ready for the show, which of course didn’t disappoint!
They got to see some serious jumps and flips. It was pretty exciting.
The loved every minute of the entire show once again.
The boys really liked the show this year because of the new hybrid dirt track that helped maximize jumps and according to Zack it was pretty awesome watching the dirt fly when the trucks were doing doughnuts on the track.
All in all, it was another great show put on by Monster Jam and the boys are excited to return next year and Ellie and I are both excited to attend our first show.
You can catch the last showing of Monster Jam in Green Bay on Sunday, April 12th at 2pm. Tickets are $12 for youth ages 2-12 and $22 for adults.

Yesterday morning, Libby and I made our way down to Milwaukee for the Just Between Friends consignment sale. This was a first for both of us and I think we are both still in shock over the size of this sale.
The amount of clothing, alone, is overwhelming. Racks and racks of maternity, costumes, girls and boys clothing and all of the sizes, it is absolutely crazy and EXTREMELY well organized.
There were more than enough toys to go around and of course, toys were organized in different sections for babies, girls, boys, Disney, Action Figures and so much more!
There was a sea of strollers, high chairs, boosters, bouncy seats and more. Really, I don’t think there is anything you couldn’t find on your shopping list while sticking to your budget.
Check out this great video, put together by Maureen from Wisconsin Mommy to give you an idea of everything available.
My goal was to make sure that I got the #BestDeal on some winter gear for the little ones. All 3 littles needed new boots, Joey needed a jacket that would fit now and another to get him through the rest of winter, along with snowpants as well as a few more fleece sleepers.
Here are a few things we picked up: a pirate costume for Joey ($5), 3 fleece Carters sleepers ($5), a Big Chill winter jacket ($8) and Columbia boys snow boots that retail between $59.99-$69.99 for $15!!!!
I am still in awe of how big this sale is and if I had been feeling better, I think I could have spent the entire day shopping to make sure the kids were set for the next year!

As you have all heard me say, multiple times, I love a good sale. When it comes to shopping for clothes for 5 kids as well as the gear they all need, I hate to pay full price and in most cases, I prefer to buy something that is used but it excellent condition.
Well, if you are anything like me and you are anywhere near Milwaukee WI, get ready for the Just Between Friends Consignment Sale at the Wisconsin Expo Center on the State Fair Park grounds, September 21st-27th 2014!!
