Walgreens Sept. Easy Saver

I don't have the easy saver book yet, but have seen that there are a lot of freebies this month! Here is what I have send so far:

Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste - and I am pretty sure there is a coupon in this week's insert
Revlon Nail Polish
L'Oreal Advance Revitalift (this is a $16.00 product!)
Nivea for Men Body Wash - There is a $1 off coupon out there
Acid controller
LypSyl Lip Moisturizer

All of these are free after mail in rebate. Yeah! I have really gotten into Walgreen over the past few weeks and now have the ability to roll my rebates. If you get your rebates to be put on gift cards, then they give you a 20% bonus. So what I have on my gift card now will cover what I am getting off the free list this week.

Oh and for all you M&M lovers, M&Ms are 4 bags (the bigger bags, not the single serve) for $5 after rebate! Yummy.

As a side note, just so ya'll don't think I am too nuts and wonder what they heck I do with all this body wash, shampoo, and toothpaste I talk about - I decided last month that at the end of each month I would go through my stockpile and donate anything over a 2 month supply to charity. So I took a big box of toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, body lotion, dental floss, and some other tolietry items to Salvation Army last week and plan to do the same at the end of each month. I figure if stores are giving it away for free or nearly free, then someone should get some use out of it.

Oh the things you girls do to me!

So I got a little surprise in the mail from my TTT girls. An awesome scrapbook filled with lots of memories from good old Lebanon, OH. It made me cry and miss my friends. Keira loves the book and has flipped through it a hundred times and keeps saying "My kids, my kids!" Too sweet.

Thank you so much for this, it really means a lot to me.

So I am going to put it in print, I am going to be making a trip back this fall - likely late fall. I am thinking, maybe the first weekend in November. Spend a couple days in Lebanon/Cincy, and a day or two in Indy. I'll likely need a couple of host families, so be prepared!

Have a great long weekend everyone!

I hate the KC Chiefs

The Chiefs are playing a pre-season game tonight - ugh, and CBS is televising it - which means no BB until 11:37 pm. Which really means no BB until tomorrow. :(

Holy Pee Batman!

Can you handle one more post from me today??

Potty training is going well. Really well. Since our first day (Friday), we have only had 2 accidents. Yippee. Up to this point, the routine has been that she tells us she has to go, we walk her to the potty, and we pull down her pants and then she goes. 5 minutes ago, she stood up, walked to the potty on her own, pulled down her own pants and peed without saying a word to me. Yah! That is a lot of progress in a week I think.

You love reading this blog, don't you? Who else do you know blogs about pee?

Just when I thought Fall was here ...

We get another 90 degree day! Actually, I am not sure it was 90, but it was hot. So we decided to get out the baby pool as I am thinking we may not get too many more chances to use it. I was originally going to take her to the pool, but the stroller was in Wade's car and the key to the pool was in the stroller (good place to keep it, right?), so that didn't quite work out. Keira had a blast in the backyard anyway between the pool and the sprinkler. I had to stick my feet in it was so hot.

Peanut just enjoyed soaking up the sun. Why she likes to lay in the sun like this, I have no idea. It makes her pant like, well, like a dog!

Big Brother eviction tonight - - happy watching girls. I am wondering what dessert is tonight ;) I made Julie's Cherry Crock-Pot thing the other night, yummy! Miss you all!

I Missed You

We went to the park yesterday and Keira buddied up with another little girl that was playing there named Mckenna. They played on the playset, chased each other around and generally had a good time. It was really cute to watch. At one point, they kinda went their seperate ways. Keira was playing in one area and Mckenna in another. Then, they run to meet each other and as they meet, Keira throws her arm around the little girl, gives her a hugs, and says "Little girl, I missed you". So sweet.

Dirt

My prissy little girl, the one who refuses to wear anything but a dress or skirt, is also a tomboy. The past three days when we have played outside, all she wanted to do was play in the dirt and rocks. She is having a blast, but we are needing super duper baths every night.
