Afternoon at the Park



Today was so nice and Aiden really has not been wanting to take naps so I decided to let him run off as much energy as possible.

Well it worked! He slept from 1 to 4!

Lillian even had fun at the park. She loved being in the swing and Aiden loved having her right next to him.

Getting the hang of it!


So this week I decided to learn about Walgreens register rewards.....I think I mastered it!

What is pictured:
18 Sunsilk Shampoo/ Conditioner
6 Edge Shaving Gel
3 Skintimate Shaving Cream
8 Men's Degree Deodorant
4 Woman's Degree Deodorant
8 Colgate Toothbrushes
3 Chapstick

I bought all of this for $15! The regular shelf price would have totaled $175. Which means its a savings of 91% And we are well stocked for a long time on these items!

4 Months Old


Just a few days ago Lillian turned 4 months! Crazy how time flies! She now weighs 15 pounds 2 ounces and 25.5 inches long. Placing her in the 90 percentile.

As for health...relfex is gone and she is no longer on medication. The GI specialist took her off of it fearing it was back firing (causing more pain than taking away). And sure enough he was right. She is the happiest she has ever been and I am now sane. For the past few weeks I have been wanting to post about it but to scared she would relapse back into her crankiness. But it has been 3 or 4 weeks now and I think this is the Lillian we are suppose to have!

We still can not get a picture of her smiling yet but she is happy! She loves to stand, she can roll over, she is showing interest in food, she loves to play with her doll. She loves her brother and puts up with him doing crazy things to her (he jumps on her while she is on the floor and she giggles at him). They get along very well.

Oh, one concerning thing we had to take her to get x-rays for her hips because the doctor fears one of her hips is coming in wrong. She has more rolls on one leg than the other, and that is sometimes signs of hips not coming in right. But this can be corrected if it needs to be!

Ok, I posted awhile ago about starting couponmom.com well I have been doing it for a little over a month and I recorded the month of March of all our savings and I am shocked! We have saved a total of 63% of our grocery bill this month and we have more food in our house than we normally do!

The break down is this:
702.61 normal shelf price
131.09 savings in sales
86.80 savings with coupons
225.76 with WIC

Total we spent...258.96!
