The weekend!

Hmm, what did we do this weekend? The answer is, I have no idea. We ran a lot of errands. We played outside. We had ice cream for dinner one night - don't ask - but it was yummy! The weather was really nice for a change. Other than that, I don't know what we did, but we were busy. Below are a couple of pics. Busy week planned - storytime on monday, craft day on wednesday, making ice cream in the park on friday, sounds like lots of fun!

Pizza!

We went to Uno's to make pizzas today with the MOMS club. Keira had a blast. They got to spread sauce on pitas and then sprinkle the cheese on top. They had little plastic aprons for them to wear too. They got a tour of the back where they got to see a walk in fridge (Keira said - so cold Mommy), the oven, and the soda machine. Then the got to eat the pizza! I have to say, it ws pretty good.

Water Fun Day

Well, after being stuck in the house for 2.5 days, Keira and I finally got out! I have a lovely new rocker-shoe thing that allows me to walk (it is very attractive!), so we went to a MOMS club event that was in our neighborhood called Water Fun Day. Think baby pools, sprinklers, water balloons, water guns, etc. Oh and throw a trampoline in there too.

Keira, much to my suprise, loved the trampoline. It was mostly the "bigger" kids in it (about 6 - 5 year old boys), but she jumped right in and had a blast. I honestly thought it was a trip to the ER waiting to happen, but she is quite the trooper and can hold her own with those boys.

She also really enjoyed the slip and slide - it looks like we may have to get one for next year.

I had a great time just chatting with the other moms. The turnout for the event was great - I think there was 13 or so moms there. I was just as happy as Keira was to get out of the house.

The mom hosting the event made excellent chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing. OMG they were good. They rival my friend Julie's baking - though not quite as good - Jules, she uses the same recipe for icing that I do ;)

Here's a pic of Keira while eating the cupcake! She looks none to pleased, I think she thought I was going to take the cupcake from her!

Where's my Big Girl Bed?

Looks like Peanut has taken up residence ... Keira is none too pleased!

CVS $2/$10 Coupon

Slow Week

Well ... it may be a slow week here at the blog - not because we are too busy to post, but really the opposite. Being the genius that I am, I just dropped a 45 pound weight bar on my big toe. Holy Toledo am I in pain. I didn't go to the dr., but if I had to hazard a guess, I would say there is a good chance it's broken. It is super swollen, movement is out of the question and it is now starting to black and blue, yippee. So, it's unlikely that we will be doing much this week because at the moment, walking is really out of the question. I'll post when I've actually got something interesting to say!

CVS Deals

There are actually some CVS Deals to partake in this week, YEAH!

Crest: $2.49 with $1.50 ECBs back plus .75 coupon in the paper - this makes them like a .25 for a tube of toothpaste! Limit 5.

Children's Advil: This is a monthly deal - it's free after ECBs. I believe it is $5.49 with $5.49 back in ECBs. And there's a secret -- the flyer says limit one, but it's really limit 2!

Dawn Dish Soap: .88; coupon in the paper for .50 off - so .38 for Dish soap, not bad

I think this is probably all I will get this week ... but they do have pampers on sale. The Jumbo back is $8.88. There is a $1.50 off coupon in the paper - but I can't remember how many are in a pack to figure the cost per diaper to see if this is a good deal or not. It is definetly the cheapest I've seen the Jumbo pack, but still might not be cheaper than the big box. I'll have to check.

Happy Shopping.
