Crazy for Coupons

O.K. So first off went to the store with 3 children who all behaved and made it home before 9 - right there its a good day, but when I actually do my couponing good....its like my own little shopping high.........Today I bought all of this and only paid 35.65 with the tax and I have a mail in rebate on one of the items so another $2 check coming back to me and got 3 coupons that printed out for a a gallon of milk for free each up to 4.69 for each gallon....I am so getting the good stuff :)

Tutu's, Tutu's Everywhere...and a Diaper Cake too

So as many of you know I have been playing in tutu's for a while now - new obsession I guess, but all of these tutus were made for Make A Wish to give back a little. They will be auctioned off next weekend. Our fav wish granter and her friend Rachel came out and helped make a couple and helped me decorate them all.....I hope they make a lot of money on them, so other people can enjoy their wish as much as Evan does his. While they were out we helped make a diaper cake unrelated to the auction, but it was soooooo pretty when it was done I had to take a picture too.

Random fun Photos

See I do have hair I promise!!!

The above picture is to prove they are so related - Kierstens forehead does the same thing - still makes me laugh!! And who doesn't love a picture of a baby sqeal.....if you listen close maybe you can hear it. j/k I just hope all the grandmas enjoy the baby cuteness....

If you try to take a photo of everyone yourself......

So I tried to take a photo of me and the kids - cause they wanted to - believe it or not that is kiersten hair in the photo on the left......this is usallu what happens when Itry to take one. Someone runs off, evan shows you his nostrils, and kara well she would rather eat the camera - but I still LOVE this picture - it makes me laugh and how funny the were trying to pose for it

Kara's New Hat

Evan made kara a hat too - I think he didn't want her to feel left out while he was gone at school - he is such a good big brother to her.

Mouse Hunting Adventures.....

As many of you know, Tuesday as I was eating my breakfast a little mouse scurried across our floor, but as I went around the corner it disappeared, moved everything, freaked out cause I still can't find it, even though it found some rice cakes in my basement where I think it may be hiding now.... but it has made for interesting conversation around our house this week......here are some of my favorties

Kiersten - my milk tastes like mouse ( she didn't want to drink her milk that morning)
Evan - come out come out wherever you are and I won't trap you ( then in whispers) I'm just trying to trick him mom, I would really trap him
Evan and Kiersten ..outside of my pantry where the little rascal was last seen.....squeak, squeak,squeak, squeak ( we are just trying to trick him mom)
Evan has also been carrying his tupperware bowl around the house at times to hunt for the mouse.....he also stood in the pantry for a while sometimes when I needed something in there on the look out......... just in case I see him he says
Kiertsen - I'm going to be scared of the mouse mom, if I see it I am going to scream - she so did not get this from me - I think she just thinks it sounds fun.
