Guess How Much

I have recently gotten into 'couponing.' I have been amazed at the money I've saved recently at both drugstores and grocery stores. Here are my bargains for today from my grocery shopping. The sale prices on these items would total close to $30 and with my coupons my total came to 84 cents. Yes, only 84 cents for all the stuff pictured above. (and 2 bars of Olay soap that got left out of the picture.) At Kroger, they actually owed me 21 cents back after my purchase. Wow, I've never had a negative at a grocery store before! If you are interested in saving your family a LOT of money, you have to check out this website that is absolutely AWESOME!!!! It's http://www.southernsavers.com/

Changing the Oil

There is nothing that makes Ian happier than helping his Daddy fix things. After grabbing the tools from his room, he ran out to help Steve change the oil in the van. I love these guys!!!

Sunny Days

Spring is almost here in the South and we are greatly enjoying the warmer weather. The kids loved getting out to the park yesterday!

Ian tickling Hailey with a twig.

Ian and his great find at the park---a tree branch! He carried it all over the park with him.

Discovering that gumballs are prickly.

Looking for bugs!

"What's Ian doing now?"

Pretending to be fishing

Behind bars

Pretending the gazebo was his house
