Guess what's coming to my house?


I know the pic is hard to see, but this is another fabulous movie to add to the collection. We love chick flicks and other really dorky movies. I couldn't rent this or find it in the stores, so I had to order it on Ebay!!! I swear you can buy ANYTHING on ebay. I cannot wait to see this.

Conversations

Each night before bedtime, Abby has to try to go potty. Last night while in the bathroom she says," I can't go potty. I"m falling in the big potty.....I don't have a big booty!"

She's 3!

I can't believe she's 3 today. She suddenly seems so big and has become very opinionated and independent. Yesterday she demonstrated the beginnings of great negotiating skills. Today, we're just hanging out and enjoying lots of new toys.
They both did a great job finding Easter eggs. There was some pushing and a little yelling, but all eggs were recovered.

Save Your Coupons!

If you happen to be a coffee snob or have one living with you, Dunkin Donuts coffee is on sale this week at a lot of stores. The best deal I've seen is at Target. It's on sale for $6 - $1.50 manuf Q from this past week - $.75 Target printable Q = $3.75! We happen to drink lots of coffee and this is one brand we like @ our house so we stock up when the price is right.


There are some good freebie deals at CVS next week( April 12-18)!

The Nabisco/Keebler cookies and crackers are 5/$5. If you still have the manuf Q's for $2 off of any 2, you'd get these FREE!

Pepsi 12pks are 5/$10. If you got the coupons from the SuperBowl promotion for $2 off any Pepsi, these are also FREE!

These aren't free, but pretty cheap...Kelloggs cereal is 2/$4. Use your $1 off any Kelloggs manuf Q from this past weekend and each box will be $1.00.


Walgreens has Scunci hair elastics for $2 and then get a $2 register reward on your next purchase.

*****I must have looked at a really early CVS ad or one from a different region b/c the Pepsi isn't on sale for $2 ea. ******

Price is Right

Guess how much I spent on this?

$1.08!!!!
I had Staples rewards cash to use. If you recycle your ink cartridges at Staples, you'll get $3 a cartridge with a max of 10 a month. You can use it on ANYTHING in the store (except the gift cards). They have lots of kids art supplies and cleaning supplies too. I got the art stuff for church and the swedish fish for the house. FYI, they also have natural cleaners and recycled paper towels.


CVS:

This was $8.?? We love our coffee and had to get a couple of bags while it was on sale. The bags were $5.99 ea and used (2) $1.50 manf Q. Abby wanted the egg dyeing kit. The razor refills were buy one get one free at $10.89. I used (2) manf q for $4 ea = $2.89 for two pkgs. I also got two of the Nivea lip care which was $2.99 and buy one get one free, then used (2) manuf q for $1 ea = $.99 for two. I had a couple of extra bucks that were expiring this week that I needed to use too. I think the receipt said I saved about $40 that I ended up spending later at Petco on dogfood! I guess you save where you can, right?

Today was actually a beautiful day outside, unlike some we've had lately. We were out running errands today and went to Target for a return. You can't just go to Target for a return and not look at clothes! So we looked for a bit and of course they had cute stuff. Abby requested we look for dresses for her b/c she's obsessed with them lately. Seriously she's sleep in the dress if we let her. They had some cute ones and she liked a navy one with huge polka dots on it.
We also stopped at Walgreens for some freebies. We also ended the trip at WalMart.

I've been battling the sprinklers lately and trying to replace some heads. There's one that's just pissing me off since I can't seem to get the new head screwed into it. Today I had water everywhere and tons of mud. What I really love is seeing the landscaping guys drive by and stare at me doing this. Abby told me I was really dirty and needed a shower.

While I was battling the sprinkler and mud, the dogs were in the back muddin'. What a treat for me to see my blonde dog now a nice shade of chocolate brown. Lucky me, I got to bathe both dogs and enjoy the smell of wet dog for a few hours!
