Deals of the Week

Yesterday, when I walked up to playgroup, I was asked what the deals of the week were. There really are some awesome deals this week at Smith's, so I wanted to put together a rockin' scenario for you that uses ONLY internet coupons!

Mega Event: Buy 10 get $5.00 off

Buy:

5 blocks/tubs of Philadelphia cream cheese

2 Chips Ahoy! On the go cups

2 Coffeemate creamer (I use them in hot chocolate & Orange Julius!)

1 Kellogg's fruit snacks

Use:

$5.00/5 Kraft cheese

$1.00/2 Chips Ahoy! cookies

$1.50/1 Coffeemate creamer (print twice)

$1.00/1 Kellogg's fruit snacks

With the instant $5.00 off of 10 items at the store and these coupons, you should only pay $ .02 plus tax! Yes, I just said two cents plus tax! Some people ask if I use all the items I get for cheap. Yes! The cream cheese freezes well, and I will be using plenty of it for the Holidays (love the cheeseballs & cheesecake)! The cookies and fruit snacks are perfect bribes for my almost 3-year-old. And, the creamer will definitely be used in the coming months of coldness. So, go grab these FREE items and thank me later! And, yes, there were plenty of these items left at Smith's yesterday.

Catch Up, If I Can!

My little family is growing up way too fast! I don't know why the seconds of the day keep clicking away faster and faster. It's been almost a month since Disneyland and September 2010 is only in our past now. I cannot believe it! Here is a recap of what we did after vacation.

------------------------------------

MY BOYS

Nelson started preschool! It's only two days a week and in our neighborhood with five other kids that were born within two months of him. He enjoys it, though, and looks so cute with his backpack on!

Clive is starting to enjoy Nelson more and more. He watches him, laughs at him, and doesn't really mind being smothered anymore - most of the time. I know that they will be best friends one day!

Clive is almost 5-months-old! He is rolling and playing and eating cereal! The last two nights he has finally officially slept through the night. He was stuck on waking up at 4:30 for three months, but we might be past that stage! Yay!

We stayed at Grandma & Grandpa Burrows' house a couple of weekends ago while Grandma was helping other cousins out East. We enjoyed some Grandpa time with just our little family.

Don't I have beautiful boys?! Clive is such a happy little boy and loves to smile! And, Nelson really does love his little brother. I'm pretty lucky he took to the big brother thing easily.

WEEKEND WITH COUSINS

Richard's sister and her family moved here from Maryland! We are so excited to have them close by! A couple of weekends ago Margaret and Jonathan went to Maryland to drive back their second car. We got to hang out with their cute kids for a couple of days! Nelson, of course, was in heaven having kids around all the time to play with! We had lots of fun! Here are pictures from Trafalga and Farm Country.

Maggie & Nelson flying in the airplane!

Cute Maggie on the carousel.

Richard went with Maggie and Evan on the mini roller coaster.

I was brave and took the two two-year-olds on the bumper boats! We finished early because they didn't like getting sprayed by Maggie & Even in the other boat.

This may be my favorite picture of Maggie & Evan on the Frog Hopper! I am too scared to go on this ride - I hate heights and the feeling of falling!

Cousins in "jail" at Farm Country.

Beautiful Lucie looking out the window of the dance hall.

Maggie & Evan dancing! Poor Maggie had to wear my flip flops that day because she left her sandal at Aunt Jenn's house the night before.

Feeding the goats. One of our favorite things to do at Farm Country!

PRESCHOOL FIELDTRIP - FARM COUNTRY

We are lucky to live really close to Farm Country, so as you can see, we spend a lot of time there. This month at preschool Nelson learned about farm animals, so it made sense for the kids to go to Farm Country for their fieldtrip. Here are some of the cute pictures I took of Nelson and his friends.

The first stop when we get to Farm Country is ALWAYS the pony ride.

The kids learned about bunnies recently, so it was fun to see them in real life!

I told you that feeding the goats is one of our favorite things to do there. Here the kids are feeding the chickens.

I couldn't decide which group shot I liked better. It's hard to get them all (or any) to look at the camera, but you definitely see some personalities!
