$5.00 deal that was almost a no deal

I was so excited because I found a $5.00 coupon for Walgreen's last night from a blog. You only had to spend $20.00, however, it could ONLY be used on 1/31/08. Those of you that really know me, know how cheap I am... honestly, I don't know that I've spent over $20.00 on a pair of tennis shoes in 10 years, ask my cousin Amy:) So, I sent the coupon link to Cam and asked him to print it out and I printed one out just in case it was a possibility we would get to go. I really, really wanted Cam to go after work but hated for him to go out of his way because it's ugly out and it would put him getting home at least 30 minutes late:(
WELL.... he calls and says that the renters had our check ready and wondered if we'd like to stop and pick it up, funny thing, the rent house is a couple of blocks away from Walgreen's. So, I was like, "great, did you print the coupon?" Cam says, "No". Ugghhh.... I'd tried to figure out every way to get to Walgreen's without loading the kids up tonight (in wintery weather) and making a trip totally out of the way. Cam just thinks it's funny that I'm aggravated. I said, "I'm really upset, I don't want to talk right now" and I got off the phone. Well, I fume for a bit over missing out on a $5.00 coupon (that I planned to use on Prilosec and all of you who've been pregnant realize how much I NEED indigestion medicine). Then I get a call from Cam..."I'm in Walgreen's, what do you want?" I said, "do you have a coupon?"... Cam.... "Yeah, I went by the library and printed one off". Needless to say my indigestion and blood pressure were all better:)

Parker's new theme song

Cam has been calling Parker "Parky Park and the funky bunch" because of his thuggish lifestyle:) and the boys seem to like it! Here's a video (from my cell so it's not great) of the boys singing it.

Sleepy Wrap Giveaway

DE Review is giving away a Sleepy Wrap. I'm really hoping to get one for the new baby. Check out this link to find out how to get your name put in the drawing. 

Freckles, Etch-a-Sketh, and compliments

We have the sweetest puppy that I like to call Freckles because of the sweet little spots all over her nose. She likes to come in and warm up and she's a super snuggler. Isn't she so cute??

Tonight we bought both of the boys an Etch-a-Sketch. Andrew has been wanting one for a few weeks. They were mesmerized by them! While we put up the groceries they stood just like this in the kitchen:) It's the quietest they've been all day.

Parker has been giving away some sweet compliments lately. This morning he came in and told me, "I like your shirt, your pants and your head". He then went to the living room and told Cameron, "I like your shirt but not your pants". It was so cute:)

Sports Center Fun..

We went to the Sports Center this morning to let the boys play. It's been sooo cold here we haven't really been able to go outside. Andrew reminded me of Forrest Gump he ran and ran and ran! Parker had a lot of fun, too. However, he got a little tired and decided to watch a Yogi Bear episode I had on my iPod:)

I'm so excited because it's suppose to be in the low 60's for the next few days. Cam is really upset about it. He's desperate for winter weather. I'd love to see some snow but if it's not snowing, it might as well be warm enough to go out:)

Across the street

Who knew taking pictures could be so much fun??

My mom had donated to the fire dept so we got some pics taken today of the boys and Jacey. When we got home I wanted to take a few before the boys went down for their naps. As we were pulling up to the house, I noticed how pretty the hay field looked and thought it would be the perfect place:) The boys had the best time!!! I thought, "Wow! What cheap fun!!" 

Our new bunk beds and our first baby gift:)

We got the boys a new bunk bed. They're not sharing a room just yet but will be very soon. Right now Andrew is sleeping on the bottom bunk and Parker is still sleeping in his room. We'll probably not let them use the top bunk for sleeping for a while. They LOVE their new beds:)

The coolest part is underneath the stairs are built in drawers. We really needed this because we are so lacking in the area of dresser drawers.

Also, one of my student's moms, who has also become a dear friend:), bought us our first baby gift. Isn't this the sweetest outfit. It came with a matching blanket and a little hat:) Parker and Andrew were soooo excited about it!
