Is it Monday already?...

Well, the weekend flew by way to fast. Eli is cutting his third tooth and can go from calm to screaming at night. Landon, my 2 year old, is just that...TWO. As in the terrible two's. He is driving me nuts some days with his tantrums and not napping. But, it's all okay when thw two of them are playing nicely together with a toy...until someone decides to hit the other. lol.

So, I finished the Violet Beauregard skirt from Stitch 'n Bitch. I also made a small clutch purse from the book too. If my camera was working I would post pictures. I will try to remember to take some with my blackberry later.

I am trying to decide what I want to do next. I want to make Michael the Jolly Roger Skull sweater from S'nB, but I don't want to have to go buy black yarn. I have just about every other color but black, and definately not enough skeins to make it either. There are also some skull putholders in the book that I want to make, but alas, I have only a small ball of orange cotton. So, I need another color.

What I think I have decided to try is using the pattern from the skull sweater, I am going to make a skull pillow for the living room. Thinking of using the Red Heart Grande Super Bulky in Linen. I also have it in burgundy and hunter green. I will probably do it in the green because the burgundy is so much red that it just wont do. I mean we are Tennessee Vols fans, NOT Alabama fans. So, red isnt a common color in this house. lol.

Eli's almost crawling!

So, since last Saturday, Eli has been getting up on all fours and trying to crawl. He will get up and then lean forward...
rinse, and repeat...
until he get's to whatever he's got his eye on. It is too cute!

Landon, well, he's just Landon. The boy who doesnt want to eat anything half the time. But, the dr's say it's normal.

CVS'ing is going good. I went on Monday. I have to go back today because I got a nail polish and it didnt give me my ECB's, I got home and realized I picked up the wrong one! poo!

Also, Eli has his 6 month checkup today at 2:15pm. It was actually supposed to be last Tuesday, but I totally had no idea! Oh well. He should be getting some shots, but I am not going to have to pay them an extra $100+ just to do it there. (Cost about $12 just for the checkup) So, I am going to go by the Health Department and get them.. The cost...about $10!!!! It's sad how dr's offices charge an arm and leg. They charge for the vaccine itself, and for the girls to give it...and that's worth $100+, yeah..um, NO! $10 sounds better to me!!!

Here are some pictures of my boys:

Our Trip Last Weekend..

...is why I haven't posted in a bit. Getting ready for the trip, then coming home and being worn out and dealing with kids who's schedules were thrown off for 3 whole days.

I didn't manage to go by a CVS while in Tennessee b/c of everything else going on. It sucks b/c there was somethingI wanted to get that isn't sold here in Alabama. *wink, wink*

We went up for hubby's work. It was a weekend of them playing things like softball, volleyball, darts, walk/run, basketball, etc. They play other TVA plants around here. I think they got 2nd place in volleyball, and didn't place in softball. They only played 3 games. Lost, Won, Lost. Normally they don't do that bad at softball, but a lot of the guys are older-ish and have knee/ankle problems. Heck, even my hubby has knee/ankle problems too, so I don't guess it's the age thing. lol.

Me, the boys, and my mom & friend all went shopping and I got lots of Tennessee Vols stuff...shoes, shirts, pants, and more.

Saturday night was the party. The theme this year was Mardi Gras. So, things were decorated with purple, green, and gold. There were beads all over the tables and we brought a bunch of them home too. Landon was being a typical 2 yr old. Running and screaming b/c he was so tired from not taking a nap, but what's new.

Eli was a pretty good baby. 'Nuf said.

We came back Sunday afternoon and have yet to really unpack everything and it's now Thursday. haha. We are just to worn out still...

I did however, go by CVS twice since I last posted, so I will post those receipts in a bit.

OH, and last week I got my first ever e-mail from CVS for $4 off of a $20 purchase! WooHoo!!!

Tuesday Ramblings

Gah, I wish Eli would just cut that tooth already! He has been so cranky lately. He's currently playing with a blow-up turtle that goes into the pool.

Landon is watching Jimmy Neutron.

I am on here doing this & reading posts on BabyCenter's Bargain Board.

I wish it was Friday already...

Oh, & I promise to post my cvs/wags deals from last Wednesday sometime today...

Monday Madness....

My grandmother & my uncle just came by around 11:30. They brought Landon some diapers and bananas. I got a Birmingham newspaper (MORE COUPONS!!!). There were a few other things as well. They stayed about an hour before they had to leave for her next dr. appointment at 2.
I managed to get Landon to say a few things for them to hear. Like please, thank you, sorry, etc. They thought it was cute, so that's all that mattered. Eli had gotten woke up when they rang the doorbell, so he was a crabby baby for a while.
*********************************************
Now, I wanted to post about this weekend:

Saturday night I went with my friend Megan to a "Slumber Party". Now, this isnt your typical slumber party. It is one for adult (over 18) females only! See where I'm going here? Well, they did a drawing and I got $28 worth of "goodies" for me and Michael! WooHoo! I am supposed to go to another this weekend. But, we'll have to see if Michael lets me. Haha, it's a win win situation. I get away from the screaming kids for a while and he gets, um, well...stuff to "play" with. LOL....
The website is www.slumberparties.com I believe. Over 18 ONLY!!!!

Sunday, we went to Shoney's after church. We were ordering our drinks and Landon said "Tea Please" !!!! I was so happy! And when the lady brought it, he said "thank you"!!! Go Landon! He's getting so big!!!
Oh, and last night before bed, Landon wanted to use the potty. Ok, that's good. Well, no he wanted to use the BIG potty.So, I held him so he didnt fall in. He pee'd a total of three times last night! WooHoo! In the BIG potty!!! Now, we have to get one of those rings for it so that he doesn't fall in. lol. There's one at Wal-Mart that looks like a football! Yay! Can't wait to get it!
*********************************************
I am going to post my hopeful scenarios for CVS and WAGS (Walgreens) once I get them figured out. I only have a few dollars, maybe $5 to use.. So, I've gotta stretch it goooood this week!

Check back later!

I took this video last night before bed. Michael was making Daffy Duck noises & Eli thought it was so funny. Landon even got in on the action too.

Been a long while...

..So, I know it's been quite a while since I posted, but I admit I have been on here..just doing Gizmo's blog. Yes, my cat has a blog. I am addicted to it. It is hilarious what these blogging cats have to say.

Let's see, since the last time I posted there has been Landon's 2nd Birthday party, Eli is now 5 1/2 months old, and I have taken up couponing like crazy!

I plan to keep a total on here to show how much I have saved. It has only been 3 weeks of doing it, but it's getting better by the week!!!

I am going to add pictures from the party and other stuff in more posts so this one isnt soooo long...ok...well, Don't forget to leave me some comments to motivate me to keep up my blog and not just Gizmo's!!!

P.S. I am going to be posting the things I mentioned above in other posts, just dating them for when they should have been added. Ok, done.

Landon's 2nd Birthday...

Too much to talk about, so here are some pictures! Click to biggify!

By the end, we were POOPED!!!

Swimming at Grandma's house!!!

Daddy's Birthday & Memphis, TN

So, last minute we go to Memphis to the zoo and to Beale Street afterward. Landon loved the animals at the zoo. And Eli slept a lot of the time. It was hot and I was tired.

Here we are on Beale St. We had drinks, I nursed walking down the street, and Landon wanted a Hurricane!! He got one, but minus the alcohol!!!

My Fuzzy Leprachaun (above) & Landon's Virgin Hurricane (below).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

Pool Time

We decided to let Landon play outside in his new pool. He loved it and Eli got a nap before he played. Here are some pictures!!!

BlackBerry Curve

I got a new BlackBerry Curve phone on Monday! I love it! I guess its a mix of a Mothers Day and Birthday(23rd) present! Michael also got a new phone about 2 weeks ago too.
So, Landons feeling better. He had a double ear infection last week and is on antibiotics. Eli is on a prescription allergy medicine and zantac too.
There is also more good news. I just paid all 3 credit cards off today!! Woohoo! It feels like such a weight off my shoulders already. Next will be paying off Landon @ Helen Keller. We still owe about $600 on him and $800 on Eli. And that is after our insurance paid their part. It sucks, I hate our insurance BCBS of Tennessee.
Ok, Eli is getting hungry better feed him!
