We went to Walgreens for a few good deals yesterday, and I found even more while I was there. Our local Walgreens had a Colgate/Palmolive sale going on, and you could save $.50 an item with a store coupon, I stocked up and saved big. Here is what I got:

  • 2 Boxes of Lucky Charms for $2.00 ea. ( I also had a $1.00 coupon, I ended up paying $1.50 a box)
  • 3 Walgreens Orange Soda for $.79 ea.

Long Last Night

Last night went just as I thought it would. Dylan was up late, and finally fell asleep at mid-night. At 1:00 a.m., we had a loud thunderstorm roll in, and Dylan was up, and Thade woke up to at 1:30 a.m. From then on it was on the hour that Dylan was up and grumpy. Finally at 6:30 a.m. everybody was snoozing, and all of the storms had passed. I got to sleep in until 8:30 a.m., and then the day was ready to get started.

The one good thing about last night, I got to catch the season premiere of Jon & Kate plus Eight for the second time. I love that show, it is so amazing to see how Kate makes it through the day with 8 kids, she is one great Mommy! I’ll be watching every Monday.

I don’t know what we’ll be doing today, but we had better get to it soon. Snow is moving in this afternoon, and I’m not so good at driving in the snow. I already miss the 70 degree weather that we had just yesterday 😉

Little Boxes

I have all of these cool little containers from Dylan’s Baby Food. I like to use them for extra snacks in the Diaper Bag, and to organize all of my beads and findings. It is a fun way to reuse plastic containers 🙂

 

Make-Up Day Monday

Well I didn’t get as much finished as I wanted to yesterday, so today I’m going to get as much done as I can. The weather is so nice today, but it looks like the cooler weather is moving in tomorrow. We had better get all of the outdoor errands done today. Here is what we have planned for today:

  • Shop at Walgreens
  • Go to the Post Office
  • Empty Upstairs Trash Cans
  • Empty Downstairs Trash Cans
  • Take out the Trash, and bring Trash cans to Back-yard
  • Clean the Kitchen
  • Clean the Dining Room
  • Clean James muddy shoes
  • Wash 3 Loads of Laundry
  • Put away 4 Loads of Laundry
  • WASH ALL OF THE DISHES !!!!

So much to do, and so little coffee to get it all done 😉
