Queen of the Bargains!




Quinn in his cowboy hat that Grandma and Grandpa brought back after visiting Uncle Ryan in Houston.








Parker's more interested in the string.




So proud of himself! :)


Oh my... check out that bottom tooth.


Daddy and his boys...I love these Zutano oufits...that they're already growing out of. :(



I've just been the queen of bargains this week. I went to Babies 'R Us on Thursday to get the boys' next carseats. I've had my eye on a Britax seat...especially after getting a 20% off one item coupon in the mail. I also had a 15% off coupon. Well, I went to pick up the seats after I had them hold them for me....to find out that I was there on the WRONG DAY for the 20% off coupon. It was the night before (it was a one night deal). AHHH! Long story short, the assistant manager was SO nice and let me use the coupon anyway. On top of that I also got the 10% off twin discount on each seat!

I also found a pair of shoes for the boys for next summer (yeah, yeah) for $11 that are normally $49. For all of you with kids, I highly recommend http://www.mamabargains.com/ (where I found the shoes) and http://www.babysteals.com/. Both have GREAT deals if you check back frequently.

Jason told me that he got an e-mail that Crazy 8 was having a 25% off sale...plus I had a 20% off coupon so I was able to get the boys a couple of sweaters, some onesies, jeans, and pants for super cheap. I'm now having to order 6-12 month clothes...they're not going to be in the 3-6 month stuff much longer. I'm telling you these clothing companies base their sizing on gargantuan children. I've noticed the European companies sizing tends to run more towards how our kids grow. Continuing my saving trend I was able to get $18 off my Snapfish Christmas card order! Last but not least...we got a coupon in the mail for CVS for tomorrow and Sunday for 25% off...are you kidding?! Diaper stock up time! On top of that Jason has a coupon for $5 off of $15, and $5 in Extra Bucks, plus I have a couple of $1 off Pampers coupons.

Sorry if you're completely bored by all of this..but I'm telling you-I'm addicted to seeing how much money I can save at the bottom of my receipt. It's like a contest!

Moving on! Our family Christmas pictures are posted at Heather's site: http://www.gemmer.photography.com/. I'm telling you..if any of you locally need pictures done she's the one to call. You can't beat $150, especially when she'll come to your house AND you get a CD with all of the pictures...basically you own the copyright so you can print out whatever you want. I'm going to be lost when she moves to China next fall!

Tomorrow is Jason's Christmas Brunch through his work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Santa will be there. I have yet to get the boys' first 'Santa picture'. I think it's nice that they've changed the party to be during the day and made it more family friendly.

Oh! Zutano! I love Zutano!!!
Have you seen their spring line yet? It's freakin' adorable.
They're just getting too big...mine are log rolling all over the place and they just turned 6 months. If they start crawling soon, I don't know what kind of break down I'm going to have!!!

I wouldn't worry about the Itzy Ritzy. There was only one print out of the 8 that even looked semi boyish. All the rest were completely girly. I've been waiting for the Eeboo canvases to come back up. I want the city scape one for our playroom.
