I Just Love Days Like This

Today the girls and I decided to do a little "bargain" shopping at three of our favorite grocery stores. I used to do this all the time when stores would have triple coupons....It's a little harder these days without the "triple" incentive, but none the less, we ventured out to pick up what we thought would be some pretty good deals...

This is what we found...

Luden's cough drops for $.09 a bag (30 count)...we only purchased 4 today because the coupon is good until April and we were running short on time.

Suave deodorant....$.45 for the small size

Suave conditioner...$.50 each

Colgate Toothpaste...$.50 each

Softsoap dispensers with soap...FREE....we only paid the tax!

And the best deal of the deal by far......

Reese's Whipped Candy Bars (and they are YUMMY!)...FREE...with only the tax to pay!

So here's the rundown:

Cough drops (4): $.37
Deodorant (5): $2.39
Conditioner (4): $2.12
Toothpaste (12) : $6.36
Softsoap (11) : $.39
Candy Bars (26) : $.91


GRAND TOTAL = $12.54




And to top it all off, we received a dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme for all the A's on the report card for FREE too! Whoo...Hoo...I just love days like this!

Week 18: Almost Half-Way There

So, being that this is baby #5, I'm trying very hard to remember all the things you are supposed to do while pregnant with your new bundle of joy. Today I remembered that we should probably get a pregnant mommy picture soon.

When I look back through all the baby books, it's obvious which child appeared on the scene first. Justin's book is full of everything you can think of, even baby firsts that we just came up with on our own. Caleb's isn't too bad...I think I only omitted the less important things. Emma and Erin have the most incomplete books...I confess that I really don't know when about 95% of their teeth broke through the surface or how many first times they did, well anything, but I managed to keep up on all the major milestones, like what order they ate baby food (I saved all the first labels of each food...OK, so I had a lot of time on my hands), the order of states traveled, and everyone's first holidays, complete with pictures and cards, and a monthly picture from month one to twelve. I also am proud to say that everyone's books are complete with their little dried nubbies (umbilical cords...I know...), pacifiers and coming home from the hospital outfits...and many more other things. I guess I haven't done too badly.

I'm much more busy now then ever, and I'm a little concerned that this child will grow up to find that his/her mommy slighted him in his pre and post arrival history. Well, I guess I'm off to a good start today.

Happy New Year!

We had some serious fun hanging out with friends this week while off of work. We stayed up entirely too late too many nights, slept in way too many mornings, and ate,well....a lot. After eating, we decided to give the new Wii Fit a try...







OK, so don't laugh too hard!! I had to quit on the "Hoola Hoop" exercise....the belly couldn't take it, but yoga might be the way to go for awhile. Here is the fun group we hung out with for New Year's Eve, and then in the morning...pancakes...yum!





And when we got home, this pretty much describes how everyone felt!



We hope you are having a great new year with friends and family.

Pretty Pretty Princess, or NOT!!

The kids received several games for Christmas, but I think one of Emma and Erin's favorites is Pretty Pretty Princess. Did I mention that they have the best daddy in the world. They would say that, for sure...see what I mean....



But, I do have to let you know that daddy didn't win....Mommy did, and everyone thought she made a very pretty, pretty princess!!

Butterflies, Kicking, or Gas...Oh my!!

Today marks week 17 of Baby Beimfohr's little life. Just in the last few days, I have caught myself wondering if I feel the baby moving, or....um....other natural disasters taking place within my ever changing body. It's amazing what a mind can forget in 6 years! We hope you had a Merry Christmas with your families. I will post more tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to My Honey

Yesterday we celebrated Sean's 37th birthday at Logan's Roadhouse. The kids had never been there and we went on the "special" night. We all ate and were stuffed (did I mention we brought home food too?)for under $30 and that included the tip!





The kids thoroughly enjoyed watching the "man" cook on the grill...



Emma was facinated with the juke box...



No evening is complete without a group picture. I opted to take the picture and not be in it. I'm fighting a bad cold and didn't feel or look the greatest!



On another note, today we heard the baby's heartbeat at our Dr. appointment. Everything is going great and we look forward to the ultrasound on January 20th to find out if I need to start buying BOY or GIRL clothes. We can't wait!

Merry Christmas!

Girls and Dresses

Emma and Erin love to dress up in pretty dresses, so Mommy broke down and bought them some new Christmas dresses this year. They were able to dress up for the Purdue Christmas Show and for church at Poppy and Nena's church as well as for the Christmas program at our church.



Here is a family picture from the Purdue Christmas Show last weekend. Everyone had a fabulous time!



My best friend and her family also came with a little Christmas spirit!



Yesterday was Sean's birthday so later on I will be posting some pictures of his special day (we are celebrating tonight).
