Check out my Target loot!

I made a little trip to Target today and spent about $6.21 for all of this stuff! Okay I actually spent $11.21, but I got a $5 gift card. I'm pretty sure the cashier hated me by the end of it, but sometimes it pays off to be annoying! I saved $47.63. And, yes, we will be getting our recommended amount of daily fiber now ;)
(If you want to see how I did it click on my link at the side to Good or Free Deals, scroll down to find the Target logo and from there she has two links to Hip To Save and Money Saving Mom. A lot of the coupons were printable so check it out!)

A very eventful day

Beau has been waiting for this day to come for a long while, and finally it came! He started preschool today and it seems he is going to really love it.

I dropped him off and he told me he didn't want me to get out of the car. He wanted to walk in by himself. This should come as a big shock to anyone who knows Beau. He has never done well with change and anything new. (just ask any one of his primary teachers) I guess he was very ready to go to school!

And here has been the other event for the day, potty training! Call me crazy because I am actually potty training a 2 and 1/2 year old boy. Well I should say he is potty training himself. He has been going really well for about a week, and today I finally got brave and put him in underwear. He always tells me when he needs to go #1, but #2 is another story. He is doing awesome so far, still wearing pull ups for bedtime and naps, but we will see how it goes tomorrow. Wish us luck and any advice is welcome. (Sorry if the pic is offensive, but I did censor it! It was just too funny to see him peeing with a helmet on.)

Beau's Party

We kept the celebration going for Beau's birthday on Saturday. We had a little swim party with the Blackwell gang in the morning, a BBQ at our place in the afternoon, and finished up the day with some bowling. And I took a lot of pics so here they are.. Sorry for all the collages- they are just way easier than posting a million pics. Click on them to see the pictures bigger.
Beau's cakes have steadily gone downhill throughout the years, sorry maybe next year's cake will show some improvement. (but don't hold me to it)

TJ worked with a guy who ownes a bowling alley. He invited us, along with TJ's coworkers and their families, to some free bowling and pizza! The boys had a blast, we had to end up setting a lane up just for Beau and Luke because they couldn't wait for their turn. We ended up bowling about 3 games a piece, and they still didn't want to leave!
