Why I LOOOOVE Couponing....

A trip to Walgreens today made me a little giddy (yes, I know, I'm a dork). I have been trying really hard to strech our one income dollars and this is what I got:

6 smart waters
1 contact solution
2 Gillette deodorant
2 Gillette body wash
2 Old Spice body wash
24 pack of water (not pictured)

grand total before coupons...$56.29

Out of my pocket...$9.69

and I still have $9 left in register rewards so if you take that into account it's like i spent $.69 on all that stuff.

total saving:$46.60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Amazing...couponing takes a little time but it is totally worth it.

Who needs drugs whenyou can COUPON????

Such a Boy

On Friday Keddie & I had what I will fondly remember as the most adorable conversation ever...

Keddie: Mom, look at my muscles.

Me: Ohhh... what about them?

Keddie: They are big all by themselves.

Me: What do you mean all by themselves?

Keddie: I don't have to push them up anymore, they just go up now. I am getting real strong, like daddy. Can you call daddy so I can tell him.

Me: Ok

So we called Mike and Keddie was smiling from ear to ear as he told him how super strong he was getting just like you daddy!

Of course then he had to give Langston a lesson on how to

make muscles, a lesson that I don't think Langston wanted...

BROTHERS!

Lord of the Flies

Last Tuesday we went outside to play right after it stopped raining. Keddie quickly discoved that if you get sidewalk chalk wet it turns into more a paste. Maybe body paint is a more accurate description. So I quicky stripped them down to their skivvies and let them go crazy on each other...

CAtching up

I have been pretty lazy lately (total honesty) and not been doing great with updates. So, a couple of weeks ago after yet another ear infection we decided that Langston was finally going to get tubes. Our beloved pediatrician, Dr. Lacour referred us to a pediatric ENT which I DID NOT like. Apparently you can either be a really great surgeon OR have good people skills, but not both, so I opted to put up with him to get an awesome surgeon for little Langers. The surgery went smooth and was uneventful thankfully, and after a disasterous followup appt, we will never revist his office. But on the upside LAngston seems to be feeling much better and has a TON of new words in the short time since his surgery. :) Hard to believe that he is gonna be 2 in just 2 short months.

I have been busy trying to get my insurance training behind me so that I can start writing policies for people and hoipefully start making a little money...I am really enjoying it and am excited to be able to start doing it more.

Mike has been toying around with the idea of going back to school to get his masters degree. I am so excited and hopes that he will not talk himself out of it, he is so amazingly intelligent and would do awesome.

Keddie is great. He is getting so big and I find myself looking at him several times a day and wondering where my little boy is. He has started sleepwalking, which is kinda freaking me out. The first time I found him in the pantry looking for something to eat- dead asleep. And last night he came into our room at 3:00 a.m. and said "Mom, I need to talk to you about something", I'm like ok what's wrong and he says " I need another light in my room, it's dark in there". I take him back to his room and go get another nightlight out of the living room walk back in and he is
SNORING!!!! Less than 15 seconds later. This should be interesting...

The most adorable thing he has started doing is asking how much you love him and then after you answer him he reaches his hands behind his back to where they are almost touching and says "well I love you this much". so cute. He could never do that too many times...

We are blessed!
