A couple of videos

This is a quick clip of Ashley talking/laughing a little bit:

This is Josh singing the Little Einsteins theme:

Taking pictures.

Why is it so hard to get a good picture?  I am not a great photographer, but sometimes I just want a cute pic of the kids and they just don't want to cooperate.  Is it because they are boys or because they are 2 and 4?  The funny thing is the first shot is the good one in this set, and the rest are funny although irritating at the time.

  Home Alone and straining poop face.

Get your hands out of your pants...  amazing how many time I say this in a day!

Just smile and don't scrunch your face.

This first pic I took...  should have stopped while I was ahead.

Last big Hoorah!

Any of you fellow couponers know that Publix Corporate offices made changes to the coupon policy effective May 23rd.  For me, this means much less competitor coupons and less savings.  This was my last trip before the change.  I am bummed because even though my Publix managers want to take all the competitors, corporate says no.  I will not be spending as much time planning shopping trips though.  So, that is good I guess.  I don't really spend hours on end doing it anyway, but whatever.  This is what I got Sunday:

It cost $4.89.  Not sure of the savings but the formula packs alone are over $40!

My shelf is pretty full and I think I might need a new one.  Like the nice walkway?  I know people who have entire rooms in their basement for stockpiles, so really this is nothing.  LOL!

The girls.

Poop on the Potty

Ah, potty training.  My mother has said on numerous occasions that this was her least favorite part of raising kids.  I have been taking a very relaxed approach with Josh.  I have read a lot about how older kids regress to wetting their pants when a younger sibling is born.  Well, this seemed to work the opposite in my house.  Josh seemed fascinated when I changed Ashley's diaper.  On the phone one day, my sister asked Josh how baby Ashley was.  He said "She poops in her pants."  My sister replied "Well, you do too!"  Something must have clicked b/c he suddenly started pooping on the potty.  He wears underwear at home and he has only had a few pee-pee accidents.

Yes, I took a picture of poop.  I love this picture because it shows the support Alex gives Josh with his potty training.  Alex checks the potty and exclaims "He DID poop, Mommy!"  Then he asks Josh if he will share his treat or his toy prize.  

.50

.50 for all this.  Not much else to say!

Spent 3.19...

and saved $50.93 on groceries.  Gotta have extra eggs and vinegar for dying!  We do have a cat, but the cat treats were a money maker.  That is why we have so many and I will probably donate these since we already have treats.  That is another thing about couponing, you can donate what you don't need/use.  The rest is just stuff we need!

...  and now for baby pics

She is listening intently to his story.

They even tilt their head the same way.

$43 in groceries, paid $4.19 and getting a $10 MIR giftcard!

Took baby Ashley to Publix tonight.  I am discovering that she hates the carseat... or maybe the car.  Unless she is totally passed out asleep before I load her up, she screams the whole time.  Tonight she cried for 15 minutes and when we got to the store, she went to sleep after 2 laps around the store in the shopping cart. 

Anyway, ConAgra had a $10 rebate deal and this is how I did mine.  After coupons, I paid $4.19 and will get $10 back.  Nice money maker and I have 6 bags of chicken.  Wa-hoo!  Oh, and no I don't have a dog, but I know people who do.

This was $43 before coupons. 

Baby pic of the day...  Uncle Todd and Aunt Michelle came for a visit.
