Mr. Poopy Pants

Maybe after this I should change the title of my blog to... the Mis Adventures of Justin and Aidan... It's always some kinda mess with those two!!!

I walked in on this the other night...

EW! See what I mean? Nasty boys.

No one told me boys do THAT...

Ew. Aidan peed in his own mouth. And then in his own ear. Sorry, no pics. I was to busy gagging. So was Aidan. Needless to say we were late for work that day... we both had to have a bath. Sick.

Hot boys!!!

Um... don't mess with my hubby!!!

Just to be clear, Justin is the one in the hat... I know, it's super hard to tell them apart!

Just some pics...

Thanks for the sweet shirt, Aunt Sandy!

The house painters... so sexy!

Wet paint and large breasts... not a good combination.

The twins

Cutest naked man...ever!

In Like a Lion...

I thought this saying only applied to the WEATHER in March, not our lives!!! Guess I was wrong. I was blissfully painting jungle animals on Aidan's wall in the new house on Thursday afternoon when my phone rang. It was the landlord to the old house... I rolled my eyes thinking, "She doesn't have to call me EVERY single time she wants to show the house!". She did want to show the house, but she also casually mentioned that if possible, could we be out on the 1st of the month.... Um, that would be like, Sunday?! Like 3 days away, Sunday?! I said I would talk to Justin about it. I remained totally cool, calm, and collected (yeah right) during my conversation with him (did I mention I had not packed ONE box?) and he told me to calm down, we would work it out. So I called in the forces. My besties Fay and her husband Daniel, and Nancy and RC... dang, don't mess with the dance mommies when it comes to moving! Fay kept reminding me it would be okay, and that I would get through it...
So during all the moving madness we have to STOP for a dance competition! Lexi and Griffin both did solos and rocked it!!! I did take pictures, which I will post eventually, but I have no clue where the camera is currently located.
Then on the way home from the dance competition Aidan developed a wheezing and a cough that sounded BAD. He slept well on Saturday night so I waited to take him in to the doctor until the morning. One RSV swab and 3 chest x-rays later, our little one has RSV and pneumonia in his right lung that is related to the RSV. Poor, poor baby. They decided not to admit him to the hospital because his O2 sats where at 90-94. Thank goodness! They sent us home with a machine to do breathing treatments and told me that he is going to sound yucky for 2 to 3 weeks!!! I hate RSV!
In the meantime, Justin and all our friends completed the move!!! What great friends we have!
Today is Aidan's first day out of the house. We came in to the office to see what was slipping through the cracks... um, alot! Anyway, he is still really wheezy and coughing tons, so we will make it a short day and head home for another breathing treatment shortly.
I will post pics of the new house... sometime. Where is that dang camera?!

Some Sweet Deals

Okay, we all the the economy is really crappy right now, and groceries are getting more expensive and we aren't making anymore money... well, I'm not, anyway. And as the mom, it is my job to s-t-r-e-t-c-h our money as much as possible to feed and clothe my children. I was informed the other day of this website www.pinchingyourpennies.com . Please, please, please take the time to go to this website! They teach you all about how to use coupons (I know you think it's not that hard, but trust me, you will learn great things!), where to use them, and (this is the BEST part) they will give you a list of store and their sales and coupons that you can use on top of the sales!!! It is so great!
For example, yesterday I went to Albertsons. They were having a buy 10 items, get $10 off your next purchase deal. So I bought 10 cake mixes, the register kicks out the $10 coupon. You tell the cashier to total that order. Then she rings up another order (10 frostings or whatever) and you use your $10 coupon. PLUS there was a .25 coupon on top of the frosting so it was FREE with my $10 off coupon!!! Hello!
Before you get your coat on and head to Albertson's, that sale ended yesterday, I am sorry to say. But they do update the website with new sales, so keep watching. They also have a news letter you can sign up for (I highly recommend it) with online deals of the day. Yesterday I got an email from them for Diapers.com. If you spend $49 you get free shipping, PLUS if you have never ordered from them before you get $10 off your order, PLUS (I know, I sound like an infomercial) they also give you a $15 mail in rebate!!! Holy crap! I got over 200 diapers for about $25! And you don't have to pay tax! Let me know if you would like me to forward that email to you with all the codes and directions.
I hope this can save you all some monies!! I have already saved over $200... and I just started doing it yesterday! :-)
