Mother’s Day Trip to Walgreens

Today the boy’s and I ran the usual Monday errands… We made a trip to visit hubby at work, then to Dollar General, quick stop off at Walgreens, and Wal-Mart in the afternoon. When we were at Walgreens, Thade noticed all of the Mother’s Day presents and displays, and quickly asked what Mother’s Day was. I tried to explain that it was a holiday just for Mommies. He then asked if you got presents on Mother’s Day, and I said sometimes. Thade said “nope, you only get presents at Christmas” 🙂 I had to smile at that one.

Do you have big Mother’s Day plans or any gifts on your wish list?

April 2008 Coupon Savings

I’m still shopping with my coupons as much as I can even though the grocery prices are on the rise. For the month of April I saved $20.13 using coupons 🙂 That brings my year to date savings up to $121.82! I hope to keep the savings going strong in the month of May 😉

Off To Nana’s

Today I’m taking the boy’s to Nana’s. We have a few activities planned, lunch at Cici’s Pizza (Thade’s pick) and a trip to the Arbor Center (Nana’s Pick)! I’m just happy to have a day out of the house! James is pretty excited too, he will have a day filled with peace and quiet, and I’m bringing home dinner from one of his favorite restaurants 😉

I hope that the boy’s do well in the car today. It is a over an hour to get to Nana’s, and Dylan was up last night (late) with teething troubles. Even though I didn’t get too much sleep, I’m ready to go and have a fun day!

I hope that everyone has a great weekend!

The Oatmeal Drum

I made a double batch of No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies yesterday, and I had an empty container for Thade. He quickly turned the Oatmeal Container into a drum, and played lovely songs all afternoon.

At breakfast this morning Thade and I made up a song about everything that we had to do today so we could have fun out of town tomorrow. Thade also made up a song about Dylan liking bagels.

I don’t think Dylan was the biggest fan of our singing, but Thade had a great time with his new “drum” 🙂

Watches and Warnings

Tonight is going to be a long night… We are under a tornado warning until 10:00 p.m., and a watch until 1:00 a.m. We’ve been over at our awesome neighbors house, to hang out in the basement just in case bad weather strikes. I’m hoping that the weather will stay calm this evening, and those tornadoes stay away! Spring-time in the Midwest, never a dull moment 😉
