This was Garren's last day of pre-K. The school year went by so fast and he loved every minute of it. Garren can't wait to be kindergartner next year! (It was mix and match day.)Last Day of School
This was Garren's last day of pre-K. The school year went by so fast and he loved every minute of it. Garren can't wait to be kindergartner next year! (It was mix and match day.)
New Blog
I've decided to create another blog to keep a record (and to brag)of my extreme deals. I seem to have a knack at finding the cheap stuff (perhaps inherited it from my Dad). Now that I've entered the couponing scene and get the deals more often, a new blog seemed appropriate. It is called myextremedeals.blogspot.com. A link is on the right-hand side. Happy saving, everyone!
Bunkbeds
Garren couldn't be more excited that his bunkbeds are finally finished. Daddy, with Garren's assistance, installed the top rails and reinforced the ladder (and almost every rail) for an extra sturdy and safe bunkbed. He can't wait to spend his first night on the top bunk.
PJ's
Today, I showed Calvin that he should put his PJ's under his pillow for the next night. After a few moments alone, he came running for me to come look. He took my advice to heart and put the entire contents of his PJ drawer under his pillow!
Little Helper
Calvin loves spending time outside. He was helping me dig out some weeds around the patio. My favorite part was when he told me that he had found a "piece of worm." He says that about almost everything. "Piece of glasses","piece of shirt", you get the idea. Calvin, can you just stay three forever?!
Extreme Couponing
Ok, so have you ever watched "Extreme Couponing" on TLC? It may come as no surprise to you then that I've decided to dabble in this money-saving hobby. Below are a FEW of the free/almost free items I've aquired recently. I do almost all of my couponing at CVS and Rite Aid (because Keyser lacks a variety of grocery stores).
Free!
Free!!
$5.23 for everything
Free!!! Fishing Derby
Garren recently participated in Keyser's Fishing Derby. Despite cold temperatures and catching nothing, Garren claims to have had a great time. Both sets of grandparents were in attendance to cheer him on and we celebrated his great sportsmanship with hot chocolate and pancakes from Denny's afterward.
More House Pics
Here are the promised pics of the family room. Some improvements we've done in there--painted walls, crown molding, new ceiling fans, new carpet, painted molding/trim white, not to mention no more knotty pine! The room wouldn't be complete without my "new" furniture from my fabulous (and generous) friend, Lindsay. I'm still working on the grouping on the far wall. I have an idea for some different wall art (will post pic of that when I'm done). I love each of those pieces individually but it's just not working for me as a group. Suggestions? (Oh, and Les, I bought my huge clock for only 15 bucks. I hope you like it. It's even functional.) Strawberries
No, Cindy, I'm not copying you. I took these pics before I talked to you on the phone. ;) We got some huge strawberries at our roadside fruit stand (ahem, Wal-Mart) yesterday and the boys love eating them. Don't brag, Cindy. I'm sure your strawberries were far superior in taste and size!
