Saving Money

I like to save money. Actually, I don't really like to spend money, so when I do spend it and save money while doing it...that makes me happy.
For the past month I have been using a couponing blog that has saved us a bunch of money. Here is an example of what we bought Wednesday at Albertsons.

I spent $16.28 cash and bought 35 items.
My savings was $113.64.

20 cans Progresso soup
4 Pillsbury Grands biscuits
4 Macaroni Grill dinners
2 boxes Cheerios
2 half gallons milk
1 jumbo pack diapers
1 eight piece bag of fried chicken (I know, not a very healthy dinner)
1 bottle of baby Tylenol

Not bad for some basics and some quick lunches to take to work!

Sick Day

Eva and I had a sick day today! We both have colds, and Brian convinced me that it was okay to use my sick leave for one day. So, I called in sick and called Megan to let her know Eva would be staying home. Eva and I had a fun and relaxing day at home. Eva even had a four hour nap! Brian had to go to work. Here are some pictures from our day, and a few from our weekend in Oregon.
