Party?

Well it looks like the party is going to have to be postponed until next weekend. Everybody has this yucky cold/flu/sinus infection, and Thade is sneezing his head off today. I’ve had a sinus headache for about 2 days now, and the sneezes are on their way. I just sneezed as I typed that, way too much information 😉 James is finally feeling better, so I guess he’ll have to take care of all of us if I get the cold next.

We might have a little party tomorrow, just the 4 of us, and plan an even bigger party for next weekend! I hope that everyone gets well soon 🙂

Dillons Shopping Trip :)

Yesterday I took the kiddos to Dillons, I  had to stock up on the great diaper deal. I did pretty good at the sale, and saved a bundle. Here is what was on my shopping list, and the savings:

  • Kroger Sliced American Cheese $1.88 (Plus savings of $.41)
  • Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese $1.88 (Plus savings of $1.57)
  • Tostitos Chips on sale for $2.75
  • Dillons 2% 1/2 Gallon Milk $1.67 ( Plus savings of $.48)
  • Dillons White Bread $1.00 (Plus savings of $.45)
  • Huggies Jumbo Pull-Ups $7.99 (Plus savings of $2.30 + coupon $2.00)
  • Huggies Jumbo Pack Diapers $7.99 (Plus savings of $2.31 + coupon $1.50)

My total plus tax came to $23.50 🙂 Thats about what I would have spent locally on diapers alone. I had a total of $3.50 coupons, and $7.52 in store savings, all together it is $11.02 in savings 🙂 I was very happy about this shopping trip.  I loved it at check-out when the cashier said you saved a total of $11.02, that was worth the trip.

I Blame the Teething…

My goodness I am worn out this morning. I had a nice evening planned of dinner, early baths for the boys, and then me watching Jon & Kate + Eight in bed with my feet up. Dinner was a little late due to two yucky diaper changes, and early baths turned into packing lunch for my hubby, and cleaning the kitchen, while Thade watched the new Naked Brothers Band movie Sidekicks on Nick. Dylan loved the movie too, and danced around in his walker to the music.

Finally 8:00 p.m., and the boys and I are watching Jon & Kate + Eight 🙂 By watch I mean, two boys run (or crawl) around like crazy, and bounce around the living room loudly. So I got to half watch both episodes. I loved both episodes, and I’m so ready to organize like Kate 🙂 I fed Dylan once more, and the boys and I headed upstairs.

I finally got Thade a bath, 3 stories read, and off to bed. Dylan only napped the 15 minutes that Thade was in the bath, so he was up and grumpy. From 9:30 p.m. on Dylan was up on the hour. I blame the teething for the sleepless night. He finally fell asleep for a solid 2 hours at 5:30 a.m., and so did Mommy. I am exhausted today. I hope that Dylan sleeps better tonight 🙂
