Coupons

OK, so you all know that I coupon shop. It is a great way to save money and is kind of fun too! Charlie goes with me, sometimes, but it is hard to take her most of the time so she stays home with daddy. However, she does watch me at home getting coupons cut out and organized. She knows what a coupon is and always asks to hold them when we go to the store (even if it is just a shopping list, she still thinks it is a coupon). So, Nana (my mom) got her a new outfit this weekend. Charlie was excited to try it on (such a girl) and as we were putting it on her she said "I got this at Winco.....with a coupon!" (not really from Winco). No lie, it came out like that. I about died laughing. That girl cracks me up everyday, but this one almost tops them all. She is always saying things like "we got it at Winco/Wal-mart/Albertsons" or wherever. It seriously cracks me up. She also likes to tell me "it's on sale, mommy" when we are shopping. Hey, nothing wrong with raising a thrifty girl, right? It's just so funny to me...I guess I must talk about something being on sale or buying with a coupon more than I realize. OK, well she is yelling at me from her crib now...guess nap time is over ;)

Cutest girl ever......

She still thinks she can fit into last year's Halloween costume.

Ready for Church. "Jesus will like my hat!"

Cheese It!

We made some pipe cleaner spiders this weekend. Charlie said "I want to cheese them, mom." Here is what we got.

These are the BEST of the best if you know what I mean. I think she seriously took around 80 pictures when I finally agreed to let her have the camera.

That's my girl!

From the mouth of Charlie:

"That's my plate, mom!"

FRIENDS!!!!!

Chelsea, one of my bestest friends :), was in town last night with her two girls. Jessica, another bestest friend who lives in the area, came with her adorable daughter also. It was so fun to have all of our kids together. Jessica, Chelsea, Rachel (who lives in Northern Idaho) and I were all roommates at Lewiston. We all are married with kids now........ALL girls (7 to be exact). Someone must have a boy sometime :) Here are 4 of the 7 girls together (Rachel has 3 girls).

Charlie and baby Aspen. Charlie thought Aspen might want to watch Dora with her...how thoughful ;)

I have included two group pictures just for fun! Charlie wasn't too cooperative...she didn't want anyone to touch her during the picture...little stinker.

Love you girls!! Hope we can get together again soon (next time with Rachel)!

Discovery Center

We had fun time at the Discovery Center with my sister-in-law and her kids.

Charlie and Piper (enjoying the couch more than the activities)

Electricity-producing bike. This one caused some tears when it was time to let someone else have a turn.

Oh, the Grocery Store....Charlie was in heaven!!! She did not crack a smile the entire time. This is serious business and she was on a mission!
