We got a box in the mail from Granny Annie last week and what a great box is was -- full of clothes for the boys! Now I don't have to do any school or fall shopping. We LOVE Granny!!!In the box was a Spiderman swimshirt which goes perfectly with Jack's Spiderman swimshorts, Spiderman swim goggles and Spiderman sandals.
Over the weekend Jack and I were busy adding a little color to the yard. We planted some Black Eyed Susan's along the driveway and some Curcuma's in the backyard by the deck. Jack has become such a big help for me and insists that he helps with EVERYTHING!
Jack was so cute posing with all the plants!!We also did some shopping over the weekend to pick up some good deals that I wanted to highlight here to help people out, should they be looking at ways to save more.
Below is the Kellogg's Fuel For School promotion where you buy 10 items and get a $10 check. I bought mine at Target where I also took advantage of a promotion where you buy 5 Keebler (Kellogg's product) and get a $5 Target gift card. So I was able to get $15 dollars back for buying these items, which were on sale and a coupon used for each!
Below I took adavantage of Kmarts toy sale - an additional 50% off clearance toys. Here I bought over $120 worth of toys for only $35 and now I have stuff on hand for birthdays and Christmas. And with a playgroup that has at least 9 birthdays between August and March, this is a nice start to a toy stockpile!
We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Aunt Delly tomorrow afternoon so I've been busy cleaning the house. While I was in the great room cleaning, Ethan crawled over to play underneath the easle. It was so cute.Ethan now make a brrmmm noise when playing with cars. He seems to really be immulating his brother these days.
Jack is really growing up, the other night he talked to Daddy on the phone for almost 40 minutes. It was a lot of rambling but both seemed to enjoy themselves and I was able to get Ethan to bed without Jack in the room to distract Ethan.
While on the phone, Daddy asked Jack to draw him some pictures for his apartment up in North Carolina, so today, Jack spent most of the day working on his pictures. It kept Jack busy and let me get more cleaning done.
I was able to get Ethan up on the chair to color with Jack, although he really just wanted to throw the color crayons off the table. But it was good exercise for Ethan to work up at the table. I've got to take every advantage I can to turn some playtime into therapy time without him knowing I'm doing it. He's doing so much better with everything, I've got to make him work more.
This is a picture of how Jack washes his hands in the kitchen. I had no idea this was how he was doing it but once I saw it I had to get a photo of it.
