@ the park

We took Eli to the park Saturday afternoon. Now that he is walking more, it's fun to play outside.





















Obviously, I did not take this one. But good job focusing on the branch dada!

BIC jackpot!

I still had 11 of the $1/2 BIC q's and I was waiting on the new Target to mark down their pens to .44 like the old Target did last week. I went tonight, and they were only .22! So I got 22 packs @ .22/ea= 4.84 total. The coupons were for $11 off. So I had 6.16 overage! I found some other really neat stuff in the back to school section:
2 zipper binders (much cooler than my coupon binder) @2.74/ea reg 10.78/ea
a lunch box 1.98 reg 7.99
2 ice packs .44/ea reg 1.79
a 10-pk of CD-R's .98 reg 3.99
3 pencil boxes .17/ea reg .69

Whoooohooooo! I love a good deal. Thanks BIC!

($4 for Colgate and $11.98 for Covergirl)
I left with $4 less ECB's than I went in with, but that's not bad since I was planning on burning $10 ECB's for the ped egg. I needed a gift for someone, and I really wanted to get the pink one. CVS only carries the white ones, so I went and exchanged it for the pink one @ Walgreen's. Gotta do what you gotta do!

Baby Cakes

Eli had his first IHOP kid's meal--Baby Cakes! 5 mini pancakes (of which he ate 2), scrambled eggs (which he hated) and a strip of bacon (which he thoroughly enjoyed) and of course I took a couple pics so I just wanted to share:

Courtesy of Kohl's

So I got a $10 off $10 or more purchase in the mail from Kohl's. I thought I'd try to find something for myself for a change, but of course that didn't happen. I didn't even go in the dressing room. I browsed and never really "saw" anything, but when I got to the baby department, they had a one day sale on these mix and match outfits, regularly $10/ea, on sale $5/ea. So I got him a complete outfit (in 18 months size) for FREE! I didn't even have to pay tax. Nice huh?
