Friday - On Friday afternoon I took all the kids with me for triple coupons. I bought all this stuff for $3.81. I tried to explain to Will how much we were getting for free or really cheap. He seemed impressed. When we got in the car he said he would not be using coupons when he is older because they are for girls. I gave reasons why they were not just for girls, but I don't think I convinced him. Maybe when he works hard for his money he will use those coupons.
On Friday night I made this lopsided Easter egg wreath. It is my first time making a grown-up craft. So even though it could use some work, this wreath is hanging on my front door. Hey, from the road you can't tell the eggs are so lopsided.
While I made this wreath, Al took the boys to Sci-works for a cub scout sleep over. They have done this every year since Will started scouts. As always they had a great time.
Saturday - Al watched the kids and I went shopping by myself. This was part of my birthday present - which is today, Monday. I was able to find a bathing suit and some shoes. Then Saturday night we went out to eat Mexican. We got a babysitter for the boys, Megan got to come with us. She is a bit much for a babysitter to handle. Megan was great while we ate and enjoyed the Mexican food too.
Sunday - Megan was good in the nursery at church twice. She actually got down on the floor and played. Lets hope this continues. I played twister with the boys and lost. Then later I went to baby shower.
It has been a nice birthday weekend for this 36 year old!
Happy Birthday! Love the wreath! Are you going to Harris Teeter for triple coupons?
ReplyDeleteYes. I did the triples at Harris Teeter. Most of the time when I hear about them I try to get over there. It takes some time to match up the coupons to make sure it is a good deal. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth the time I put in it. I get so excited about triple coupons it probably is worth it.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and great job on the coupons! I'm impressed that you took all the kids with you! I've had to just give up on them right now because my kids fight so badly in the store!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your wreath, I need to make one of those.
Happy Birthday Evden. Sounds like you had a good one. I am laughing so hard that coupons are for girls... sounds like my house. Everything the boys say "______ is for girls"...like we are that bad to be like:)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your bathing suit? I was in Kohls today and they didn't have anything and of course all the bathing suits in Target are for 88 pound 16 year olds!
ReplyDeleteI got mine at Kohls. I brought several in to try on and ended up buying the first one I tried on. I was thrilled. I think buying in March is much better than waiting till May.
