Awesome Day!!

So I had the best day ever!! I have started to become a couponer. I am trying to be thrifty, and thanks to my dear friend Emily I am starting to see the light!! So today I went shopping at Albertsons and got 20 cans of Progresso soup, 11 Betty Crocker cake mixes, 9 Pillsbury Grands biscuits, 10 boxes of general mills cereal all for $25.80 and I have a $10 catalina to use on my next purchase!! I saved $139.89. I am very happy. I am slowly building my food storage!! And to make my day even better I am kidless for 24 hours. I am not sure what I will do with myself, but I am thinking that ice cream, a hot bath, tv, and sleeping in are a very good start!!! Thank you Emily for all your help.

Lazy Day

Shayd laying in my bed watching Barney!! Giving his puppy a ride on his tractor. Cheese for the camera!

Playing in the sun, it has been beautiful this week. Shooter keeping Shayd in line!!

Yesterday was kind of a lazy day. Shayd and I did not get out of our pajamas until like 2:30. I love days like that!!

Animals!!

Last weekend we stayed with Grandma/pa Crossley for a night. On the way up to there house we stopped at my grandparents house and played with the baby lambs. They are not the cutest baby animal I have ever seen and they kind of scared Shayd. My aunt Jennifer brought one of them in the house and he felt a little better about that. I think the mama sheep is what scared him.

We woke up the next morning to snow!!! (I am completely ready for spring.) We got to feed the chickens and the horses. Shayd loved feeding the horses. . We played king of the haystack, and went sledding down a little hill. I think our family would thoroughly enjoy living in the country. Maybe one day. Right now I enjoy not having mud on my shoes everytime I walk out side.

We Have A Jumper

Well, last week Shayd was very sick and he got to sleep with dear old mom a lot or rocked through the night by dad. Well, Monday night I decided he was well enough to spend the whole night in his bed. Fair enough 18 months he normally sleeps in his own bed but he didn't feel good and he got a little spoiled. So the plan started off fine went to bed no problem but then he woke up at 11:30 I went in told him he was fine and that it wasn't time to get and went back to bed. He cried for about 30 minutes and I thought well, I'll go check on him again and about that time I heard a thud. I ran down the hall and flipped on the hall light and about the time the light came on his door was opening and there went Shayd and his blanket racing for mom and dads bed. Well, I was startled, stunned I didn't know really what to think. We had lowered the mattress as low as it will go, I honestly didn't think he would be able to get out of his crib if he tried. I was shocked so the spoiled little boy got to sleep with me.

Well, last night I was going to turn his crib around so the back was out. Well we were out late and when we got home I figured he won't do it twice right, wrong. He woke up at 2 and I went in told him I loved him and to go back to bed. I decided I wouldn't let him cry so long before I checked on him. Well, it only took him four minutes and he was on the floor and running to my bed with his blanket in tow. He was so darn cute with his blanket flung over his shoulder running as fast as he could to my bed. There was Shayd, Shooter(my little weiner dog), and about 5 pillows in my bed(to make me comfortable) and myself in my bed. It was a long night. The crib is already turned around so hopefully that will keep him contained. I just worry about him getting hurt while spreeing from captivity. It is a pretty good drop but he seems to be just fine this morning. Just a little moody from lack of sleep.
