Summertime Fun

I haven't been very good at taking pictures lately...I have been so busy and always seem to forget the camera when I do think about it. lol Such is life! Well, here are just a few of the things we've been doing recently.

When it's nice enough outside we'll eat on our back porch. It's nice to have a change of scenery...plus, I can hose off the porch if the kids spill! :)

We went to the drive-ins not too long ago and watched How to Train Your Dragon. It was really cute! We had a lot of fun, we got Chick-Fil-A and brought snacks (you can see it all over Michael's face) and sat in the back of our van. Very relaxed-loved it!

The boys didn't want to stay still to take one picture, so I am left with this. lol
Movies have seemed to be the theme this summer. The boys love it and it's out of the heat. We saw Toy Story 3...so cute, I cried, but that's not surprising. lol

We have also done lots of swimming! When we get bored of playing at our house we'll go to my family's. It's nice to have them so close by!

Well, looks like I didn't last long on the 30 day challenge. lol Oh well, I knew that was too optimistic....I hardly have time to take a shower before Chris gets home from work sometimes. :)

My total....

My total for my shopping trip was $33! I saved $160! I had about $45 in coupons alone! Pretty worth the $27 I spend for the service and my newspapers! :) I seriously got most of that stuff for free, or at least had a coupon for the other stuff (yogurt, gatorade etc). Think of my savings for the whole month....that was just within the first week! :)

30 Day Challenge....

Okay, well I have never done something like this, so we'll see how it goes!! :) My friend Stacy had this on her blog and she found it at http://prendalestelle.blogspot.com/2010/06/30-day-journal.html

The idea is to let your family and friends get to know you a little better. I will try to write something new each day. Do it with me, and let me know so I can get to know you too! :) It can be a regular post, a scrapbook page, a pic...whatever you want!

Any guesses???

Okay, so are you all ready to play a little game? :)
