Krogering

I have a 2in binder full, sorted in baseball card holders. I know it may sound a little OCD but I save a TON!!

Now for those of you who see me hauling my two kids and a binder full of coupons think I am CRAZY...Maybe I am, but I think the same of everybody paying full price for the items I get free or very cheap!! HAHA!! Now if you ever want to join me to see how it is done let me know, I'll find a babysitter :)

Wow a month since my last post, shame on me. Well I took the girls out trick-or-treating. I had made Ariana a tutu to where with some legging and a Halloween shirt, and Adalyn went as a lamb in her light fleece lamb outfit. The weather was PERFECT! Ariana was a little leery of her cousin Allen, he was a vampire, as well as the other "scary" people walking around the neighborhood. She ended up having a blast though. Adalyn fell asleep in the stroller.

Last week Adalyn started, finally, eating some baby food. Before I would try to give it to her and she would gag on it and turn her head. But now she opens right up. What a relief! I was worried she may have a food allergy, but it turns out she is just a lil stinker. Actually I think it may have to do with her teething. Once she finally got her one tooth through she started eating, and now she is working on the second one coming through.

On that same day Ariana was getting into her candy pumpkin. She took out some Mini M&M's and sat up on her daddy's lap to eat them. Well about 2 minutes later she was drooling all over. He told her to get a Kleenex, as she was going to get one, she burst out in tears saying "it's in my nose." Sure enough, a blue Mini M&M had made it into her nose. She blew it out but it left her with nice a blue nose. A little scary but very funny!

Adalyn has started talking too!! Besides the "mama" and "hi dada" she says "uh oh" It is hilarious. Well to me anyway.

Hopefully I will keep up on this better, as it is a good reminder to me about the little things that happen in our everyday lives.
