Working on September’s Menu

I love to menu plan. Tonight while the boys are snoozing, I’m working on September’s menu, shopping list, and budget. I hope to have the monthly menu up soon.  In September I’m going to try to make more from scratch, so it is going to be interesting in Nico’s kitchen. I hope that my hubby will like the results, and I hope to save a little more on the grocery bill.

Local $1 Store Sale

30 cent sale Yesterday on the way home from Dollar General, I noticed a great sale at our local $1.00 Shop. Everything in the store was marked down to $.30, I thought at that price it was worth checking out. I found some great items for Grandparent’s day, and a few presents too.

Here is what I came home with:

  • Lowercase ABC’s Magnet Set
  • Silver Paper Towel Holder
  • Poker Themed Coffee Cup
  • Cake Server/Spatula
  • Kids Slotted Spoon
  • Kitty Litter Scoop
  • 2 Flower Coffee Cups (Grandparent’s Day Gifts)
  • 2 Decorativel Porcelain Watering Cans (Gifts)
  • Mini Glass Tea Pot (Gift)
  • Hand Soap Dispenser (Gift)
  • Toothbrush Holder (Gift)

Regular price would have cost me $13.00, with the great sale it was only $3.90 ($4.18 with tax)!

Sixty Five, did I read that right?

Fall is on its way! I was checking the e-mail, news, and weather and I read 65 degrees feels like 65 degrees 🙂 Usually the weather reads 95 feels like 100+. The high today is only 87! I’m so thrilled that it is going to be cooler. Too bad I don’t have any errands to run today, I ran them all yesterday when it was 95.

Rain Out

rain-1pict0001.JPG We missed the rain barely yesterday. I took the boys out to go to the store, it was sunny out, and only a 20% chance of rain. I rolled down my windows, so the car would stay cool while we were shopping. We shopped for over an hour, Dylan was not cooperating at all, and Thade was yelling “Dylan quit screaming”, which always makes me laugh. We finally made it through the store and out the door, when we heard a huge clap of thunder. I got everything into the car, and the boys in their car seats just as it started to pour. Luckily by the time that I had driven across town, the rain had stopped.

Right before dinner, the rain started back up again. This time it was completely sunny outside, and pouring down these huge raindrops. The weather has been so strange lately.
