CVS trip

so i got

3 packages of pens...

2 glue

2 notebooks

all of these were free. (paid say .99 cents and got .99 cents in ecb)

i also picked up 6 folders at .05cents each.

total spent .24 cents

total ecb used 7$

total ecb earned. 7.43

i got a raincheck on scissors.

also they have free with ecb photobooks. in the circular they say limit one, but on line they say limit 5. I plan to go back and get these. a quick way to see if you have reached you limit is by looking at your receit , under this weeks ecb deals, it will list the deals you have used and if you have reached the limit for that particular item.

Alice in Wonder Land Jr. and other news

We went to see Alice in Wonderland Jr. on Sat night. It was very cute. Grant did a GREAT job. We could see that he was really enjoying himself. I also caught that he knew not only his own lines but others also. It was so cute.



In other news in our house



Aunt Suzie has given us a VHS player. she had one that was a DVD/VHS that had a broken DVD. They were no longer using it, and when she heard that we didn't have one and couldn't watch a movie that she was offering to lend us. She offered us this player. The boys have really enjoyed it. So far they have watched the Grinch multiple times. We also pulled out videos that i still have. They watched some of our wedding and Cinderella.



Our neighbors behind us have moved out. We will miss them. They have a little girl about 2 years older than b, and a baby a little older than N. They left a message on my facebook the other day asking if we would like there daughters old swing set. This was so nice of them. We had just been talking about them not having swings after they moved ( the boys would play on it and there daughter would play on our play stuff) We really appreciate it. Today i went to walmart and bought some paint to paint it.



Lastly, while I was at walmart i picked up paint swatches/colors. S and I have been talking about painting a little in the house. We have talked about this since we did the boys room. (it is the only room with color) out of the colors I brought home we picked colors for our bedroom, bathroom, and sun room. The kitchen/living room is going to be tricky, and i may need help deciding... may have to call up Aunt Sue for some assistance.



Well i better get going.

busy, busy

I thought i better come and post. it had been a while, and really if i don't do it regularly i will get out of the habit of doing it.

We as usual have been busy doing summer things here. (i am so glad that i am home to enjoy doing these things with s and the boys.

yesterday and today we went swimming. We thank Carol, Mary, and Uncle Don for letting us swim in there pools. The boys are getting so much better at swimming. The are now swimming all over the pools with their floaties on. B will jump off of the first step and propel himself forward. (neither of them will jump off of the side, but that will come) it is just amazing to me that today they were all over the pool and S and I were sitting on chairs watching. THEY DIDN'T EVEN NEED US IN THE POOL!! isn't that great!!

OH yesterday S and B went to the movie Ice Age. I had won tickets. (check out sweetie sweeps)

Our Plans for the next few Weeks

Holiday World (23) and then G-pa and G-ma Connies (24)

Grants Farm

today we went to grants farm. the boys had a blast.

They enjoyed the tram ride into and around the park. we couldn't believe how close some of the animals were. The first thing we did was go to the animal show. Next we walked around and saw some of the animals. We did eat a snack, we shared a pretzel with cheese and soda. Near the end of our day we feed the goats and camels. The boys really enjoyed feeding the goats. B enjoyed feeding the camels also but E was scared and only feed them once. The last thing we did was go to the house where the wagons are kept, and some more horses, and goats (and had our complimentary beer). it was a great trip. we timed it just right getting there about opening time and leaving at about 1pm. We ate a snack inside, but had lunch waiting in the car for us (peanut butter and jelly)

parking was 11$

admission was free

carousel 3$ i think (we didn't go on it)

goat milk 1$ per bottle

feed .50 cents. (for camels, they also have for ducks ect)

snow cones 3$ (we didn't get these either)

snack for us was $8.50 (pretzel with cheese and two soda's)

they did have a kind of pass thing that cost 5$, it was good for a carousel ride, goat milk, and a snowcone. (but don't quoate me on that)

you will have to excuse my pix i left my camera at mary and carols last weekend and these pix were taken with my video camera.
