Santa train

Today we got to go to Boulder City and go on the Santa train ride. Thank you to our friends for giving us their tickets. Preston loved it. Hannah was struggling a bit but she was OK, she just wanted to get down and walk. Preston always get really shy around Santa but he doesn't cry and is not scared. On the way home Preston kept saying "So fun!" It got me in the Christmas spirit!
Brad finished his finals yesterday and he did really well. He said he did better this block week than the last. Glad the stressful week is over and we have time with him. I even got to be a WIFE rather than a mother last night. Brad arranged for his friend to come over after the kids went to bed so that he and I could go out. We went and shared a meal at the Cheesecake Factory, my very favorite restaurant!! Yum. I love going out with Brad. We really need to do it more often...if only time would allow.

Bargain shopping....again

I just have to brag again. Today was Macy's 1 day sale. All of the clearance was an additional 1/2 off and they had a coupon for $10 off $25 purchase. I got all of this stuff for a total of $16.67!!!! My kids need clothes soooo bad and I'm so thrilled with my find. On my receipt it said total savings: $62.44!!! WOO HOO! Not bad eh?

Bragging rights and spaghetti faces

I first must brag about my grocery trip today. I had been saving up Kelloggs coupons and I found a bunch more. Today Smiths had Kelloggs cereal and Keebler stuff on sale for half off. It totaled $140 in value. With my coupons and the sale I only paid $42.65!! Woo hoo! I just get the biggest high over a good bargain! I saved $97 bucks!!! One might think I'm crazy for buying so much cereal but we eat it and I saved and stocked up! I don't usually do crazy things like this but it seemed worth it to me in the long run.

I must also add that Hannah is one of the messiest children I have ever seen! Preston does not like his hands to be dirty and he always wants me to wash them off but Hannah digs right in! On this particular night we had lasagna and she loved it! Can you tell? Cute little thing. After dinner Brad said "I'll get Preston if you get Hannah." Fair trade? NOT!
