June’s Coupon Savings

I am a little late in posting my savings for June, and when I was looking back for my May coupon totals, I couldn’t find the post. Hmmm that one must have been zapped. So let’s bring the coupon totals up to date… For the month of May I had $10.14  in coupon savings, and another $7.40 for the month of June. That brings my year to date total up to $62.16! I think that is pretty good for half of the year. Let’s see how July goes.

June’s No Driving Days

Despite all of the June activities for Thade, I did pretty good at keeping the cars parked at home. I ended up with 6 no driving days for the month, and that brings my year to date total up to 28 days. I just need 3 more days, and I’ve hit my no driving days goal for the year! Let’s see if I can accomplish that goal in July.

The Fallout from the Fireworks

We had a blast yesterday, and even Thade came around and enjoyed  some fireworks too. James put on an awesome fireworks show for us, and my best friend Stacey brought her family over for some 4th of July fun too. She also brought some tasty cupcakes, and yummy sides too. We had a lot of fun with family and friends, but the mosquitoes were a big pain.

Poor Dylan got bit as soon as we ventured outside to light some daytime fireworks, and today it looks like he has a black eye. Thade got a few mosquito bites too, but his don’t look as bad as Dylan’s. Mosquito bites aside, it was a really fun 4th of July, and I can’t wait to celebrate again next year.

Happy 4th of July

Thade, not so much, he isn’t a fan…

James is ready though!

I hope that everyone has a safe and very Happy 4th of July! Enjoy the fireworks!

Maybe Thade will have a little fun today too.
