Apple Picking

Last year I attempted to take the boys apple picking.  It did not work out...AT ALL.  I put that behind us and decided to give it another whirl!  I am SO glad that I did.  The weather today was perfect.  We had a WONDERFUL time picking (and eating) apples in the orchard.  

They even took naps!!!!! I think we might try again next week!

It still fits!

Brennan came upstairs from the basement wearing this...

It has been almost 3 years since he wore it last.

Can you believe that it still fits?

I think he looks cuter in it now.  

Pampers Kandoo Coupon

Over the past few weeks, I have been testing Pampers Kandoo Wipes and completing a survey on the products.  I am a believer and have been for quite awhile. Be on the look out for the pink (to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month) P&GbrandSaver this Sunday (Sept. 26).  There will be $1.00 off coupon for a Kandoo product.  

I am SO excited!  This will make for some very cheap (and effective) toddler clean-up.

Best of the Week

I have to admit, I did NOT start the week off on the right foot.  I have been impatient, moody, and basically a monster mommy.  I have done some thinking (and reading) and I have snapped out of my "funk" and back to my regular self (I think that is a good thing?).  Moving on....

It has been awhile since I have done a "Best of Today".  I thought that I would share some of the better momments of the week.  Theses pictures have nothing to do with that.  They are just some that I took while we were in Ohio.

#1.  Braxton informed me that he "likes his privacy".  Don't we all?  I will remind him of that the next time he wants to accompany me to the restroom.

#2.  The ladies at the gym informed me that Colton has come out of his shell and is quite the little flirt.  This is GREAT news since Colton was NOT a fan in the beginning.   I am pretty sure that Colton will LOVE the limelight and continue to provide them with entertainment.  God knows that is what he does at home.

#3.  I ordered the boys new shoes and they arrived on Tuesday.  Brennan has told me at least once every day that he LOVES his new shoes!  I just think that it is so cute that he feels the need to tell me this over and over.  This is also the first time that they each got to pick out their shoes.  I think that has a lot to do with his infatuation.

#4.  I overheard the boys talking after I put them to bed.  I stood outside of their door to listen.  They were talking about Santa and what he was going to bring them.  Braxton thinks that Santa will bring him a "Toy Story Garbage Truck" and Brennan is going to get a "Woody Fishing Rod".  Boy, I hope Santa can deliver...I am pretty sure that a Woody fishing rod DOES NOT EXIST (if you find one...buy it! I will pay you for it)

CVS Challenge

 I have been accumulating pampers points for 3+ years now.  I have redeemed points for toys and what not.  It has been awhile since I have redeemed any points.  The other day I was looking at the rewards they had available and I decided to exchange points for a $20 CVS gift card.

   I began following Simply CVS for a little while.  This blog focusing on deals at CVS...go figure!  I find it amazing how she gets so much stuff for so little.  She pays for her items with CVS gift cards that she receives from filling prescriptions.  

  Between coupons, Extra Care Buck and a gift card, $20 can go pretty far.  I thought that it would be interesting to track the purchases that I make using the $20 CVS card.   You will never believe what I bought today.

I bought:

1 Schick Hydro 5 Razor

2 Reach Dental Floss

2 50 oz Wisk Ultra Detergent

1 Schick Shaving Gel

I paid:

$.51 for $39.00 worth of stuff  and I walked away with $4 ECB.

I am thinking that this $20 might last awhile!
