School and Butterfly Hotdogs!

I'm sorry...I know I haven't posted in forever! With going on vacation for a week, Katherine's birthday, school starting, and going back to "work" part-time at church all happening within 2 weeks, we were busy!! We had a fabulous time on vacation this year but unfortunately didn't take a lot of pictures since our famous photographer, Eric (Daniel's brother), wasn't able to join us until mid-week (I know I only have myself to blame!). I do have some photos, and will try to post some of our great trip soon.

Anyways, Katherine started school this past week and is enjoying 2nd grade with Ms. Knapp! I personally love the routine of school and getting up early! It's amazing how much we get done by 7 a.m.!! There's just a new fresh start with Fall and school starting!




Also, I saw on this blog here how to make these super easy and cute butterfly hotdogs! We improvised a little since I didn't have the pretzel sticks, and also used the jr. grands biscuits so I cut the hotdogs to size, but it's a fun way to make an easy lunch/dinner for the kids (I used the extra roll to sorta make a mini butterfly for Christopher since he was napping)! And they got to help too (which is partly why the wings are backwards I think)! Anyways, they turned out cute I think :)





Aren't they cute!?

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Just Because...

Yesterday Daniel surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of red roses...just because!:) And after having stayed up late last night, this morning when I woke up, there was a pot of Starbuck's coffee made with a sweet note! And if you know how much Daniel detests coffee (he calls it poison:), then you'll understand how big of a deal this is:) Thanks hun!
