Mary, Mary quite contrary...

Our "garden" is growing...

And so are our flowers.

We are loving Spring!

Zoo trip with Nana, Auntie Kim & Jordan

Coupon queen

I've decided that I have found my calling... couponing! It combines my loves for shopping, bargain hunting, and researching; and as a stay at home mom, it has also given me a way to feel like I am now contributing financially, in addition to all the other ways us stay at home moms do. I would love to share any of the things I am learning with anyone who asks, but of course I want to share in my bargain finds too.

Here's what I got from a quick shopping trip to Target yesterday:

Regular price:  $23.91  What I paid:  $6.45!

Man vs. machine

Kevin met his match while doing yardwork today. The weed whacker snuck up on him and got him in the leg.


Here's the damage:

Cousin time

Charlotte got to meet her cousin, Jordan, today for the first time.  They really do seem to be having fun playing together already.  Here is lunchtime today.

Thanks Nana and Auntie Kim for coming out to visit and bringing Jordan too.  Time with family is priceless!

Charlotte's dictionary

So I think sometimes it would be fun to come up with a dictionary of the words that come out of my daughter's mouth.  I love how kids hear things and remember them. She is an excellent communicator for her age, but some funny ones we've heard lately are:

*head band-aid (headband)
*potato head chips (potato chips)
*barbie cubes (barbecue)
*water mountain (water fountain)

more to come...

Miss America

She sure is one patriotic two year old!
