Weekly Wrap Up

Wow its Friday already how did that happen??

This week........

Zeland moved up a class in daycare this week. His teachers are actually ones that he had from when he very first started in the baby room. This week when I dropped him off he did a happy dance. I will for sure try and get this happy dance on film..it's pretty cute. Vladdy, Julie and Drew's son just started to the same daycare as Z . I am looking forward to Vladdy catching up to Z and being in the same class. How cute will that be?! Cameron and Adam are the best of friends and Z and Vladdy will be buddies too.

I did a little shopping this week for new clothes. Maybe I forgot to mention that I lost 30 pounds. Well I did and now I need some new clothes. I have to sorta dress up for work so I needed a to get a few new things that actually fit. Shopping was fun but I still am not a fan of dressing rooms. I realized I probably still have a good 10 pounds to lose. This shopping trip was not in the budget. I did use a coupon does that count??

I went grocery shopping and did not use one coupon. Amber posted a comment last week about being careful not to buy things you actually don't need just because you have a coupon. Our local Frys (my favorite grocery store) had a good sale and I ended up saving like 34 bucks. Not to shabby. I scratched the idea of going to more then one store. I mean really I only have a limited amount of time as it is I do not want to spend it all going from one grocery store to the next. We already go to Frys, Costco and Trader Joes I don't think I can handle anymore.

Cameron has decided that school lunch is really not good and now wants to take his lunch. Which is great if he would just remember to bring home his lunch box at the end of the day.

Did I mention Cameron is obsessed with Michael Jackson. Knows most Michael Jackson songs by heart. Michael Jackson creeps me out sorry but it's true. Musically speaking he was a genius but I have a hard time getting past his personal life. Anyway...maybe Cameron will let me post a video of his best MJ impression. Don't hold your breath though he is already telling me what pictures I can and cannot post.

Also can someone tell Cameron that to get an allowance you have to actually do something I think he is confused. He tells me last night that I owe him ten dollars for his allowance!!

My mom is coming for the weekend just to hang out and do a little shopping. We are going to Ikea on Saturday and then on Sunday we are going to see baby Lucas. I will take lots of pictures and post soon.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Can't wait to see Zeland's "happy dance." Maybe he will do it for me next week end. I am planning a short visit if all goes well. Would love to see Cameron's imitation of Michael Jackson, too. I'm surprized Cameron like him. I thought he was a little before Cameron's time--I remember the songs from when Andrew was about Cameron's age.

Congrats on the weight loss, now the challenge will be keeping it off. Kudos for your efforts. We bought a treadmill, but now it is a great clothes hanger, LOL! We are "mouse potatoes" for work & leisure. Lots of pressure from new project, too.

Enjoy the weekend with your mom. You are so lucky to have 2 grannys & great granny relatively close to you, plus it sounds like they are really enjoying their grandkids.

I never met any of my grandparents. They all died before I was born, and my mother's father went back to Europe to live. I was a surprise baby for my folks as my mom was 45 when I was born, hence the 11 year difference between my sister & I. (Kind of a big age gap like Z & c.) I do feel like I really missed something by never knowing them, just a few stories that my mom would tell me about her folks.

It's true... I've definitely found that when I start using coupons, I end up buying random unhealthy things just because they're cheap, and ultimately spend extra money on things I really don't need. I do like you did - I find what I need and shop the sales.

I also just did a new work clothes shopping trip last week! Shopping is not easy, and it's not usually cheap either. But it feels good to wear clothes that fit and flatter!
