Spring Veggies

How I wish these were from my garden ; ) My Mom visited us on Wednesday, and brought us some delicious veggies from her favorite Farmer’s Market. One Yellow Squash didn’t make it in to the picture, I made tasty Squash Couscous for lunch.

Thade had such a fun time at our local Farmer’s Market last weekend. He made a request for us to walk down there tomorrow morning. I hope to get there a little early, and maybe find some Strawberries, and of course those delicious Cinnamon Rolls.

I finally got my garden planted this week, so I hope to have some tasty veggies soon. Thade can’t wait to help out in the garden, and he even said he would try a veggie or two.

May Coupon Savings

Better late than never ; ) My grocery shopping habits really changed for the month of May, and it is getting more difficult to save on those groceries. I’m still using coupons when I find a great buy, and for the month of May I saved $9.60 : ) It was a little bit of savings, but every bit counts. With the $9.60 from May my year to date total  is now up to $131.42, I’m pretty pleased with those savings.

How have you adjusted your grocery shopping to keep saving on the bill?

Mommy Day Camp, One More Time

Yesterday morning Day Camp was canceled due to a fallen tree, and I was determined to turn the morning around for Thade. I told him to get up and off the couch, At Home Mommy Day Camp was a back in session 🙂

I thought it would be fun to make handmade beads, and learn a little about making secondary colors too. I asked Thade to wait in the other room while I set up the camp. I got out Play Doh, Waxed Paper, a Sharpie, one Paper Plate, and one Toothpick. I then spread out the waxed paper on the table and made color equations with the Play Doh and Sharpie (red+blue=Purple). I then let Thade squish away at the Play Doh and make the new color creations.

When he was all finished we rolled the Play Doh into pretty beads that we can string together for a bracelet or necklace. Thade loved this craft, and he had a blast watching the Play Doh blend into a brand new color.

Day Camp a No Go

It has been quite a morning already… I got Thade up early and ready to go to camp, he was all smiles, and he couldn’t wait to go and play. I was talking on the phone to my hubby, and we were going to meet for breakfast. I hung up the phone, and it rang back immediately. I thought maybe he forgot to tell me something, but it wasn’t him, it was a really nice lady calling to tell me that the camp was cancelled and the park was closed for the day. There was a large tree that had fallen in the road and the entire park had to be shut down so they could clean up the fallen tree. She said that they hope to have the park ready for Friday’s camp.

Cue the giant tears running down Thade’s cheeks, and Mommy trying to explain why the camp was closed for today, but not to worry we can do lots of other fun things today… Thade wasn’t a happy camper this morning. He still has T-Ball this evening, as long as there isn’t a bad storm that rolls through. Let’s all hope that the weather holds out, or I am going to have one grumpy little guy today…
