Pull-ups

Ashlyn is not really interested in potty training, and I really have not pushed the issue. On Saturday I was at CVS getting some diapers for her and I saw that the Huggies Pull-ups were 75% off!!! The price was $4.82, but I knew I had coupons at home. Today I went back and bought three packs. I had three $2 coupons and one $2 CVS coupon for Huggies. So I spent out of pocket $7.77, I saved $80.36 today!!! Also I use a green tag on my reusable shopping bags, it cost me $0.99 and every fourth use I get $1 extra care buck. I am on 122 green bag uses so I have gotten back $30 in extra care bucks!!! Totally worth that dollar investment! And now to wait for Ashlyn to want to potty train, I am ready with my pull-ups!

Arizona=HOT

I know that it is hot in other places of the world, but Arizona is HOT HOT HOT!!! (record heat tomorrow :( ) A few weeks ago we got a teaser of cooler weather, and than it spiked back up. I read blogs about people starting to wear long sleeves or needing beanies for Halloween, here in AZ we are still in tank tops and shorts, okay I don't wear tank tops but the shorts I do. Anyways our little home does not have central air, yep we roast in the summer, and freeze in the winter. Lots of fun. The house has two large window units that are in the wall somehow. We bought Ashlyn a portable unit this summer as her room seemed to get the hottest, and her crib is in there so she needs to sleep in there. The boys have however been sleeping on our loveseat together every night for the last couple of months. It has been a chore to wake Teagan up for school, as he is not getting the rest he needed. Both boys constantly come into where our bed is to sleep with us. Not fun at all. Also both boys move all over the bed while sleeping so Brian and I love a nice kick to the face at night. Anyways yesterday we were at Target and I happened stop because of course some clearance items caught my eye. Well we found a window unit for the boys room. It was $49 and some change. We were planning on getting another unit like Ashlyn's ($350) so $50 bucks is much better. We had been waiting on the purchase as we have had to shell out an extra $1000 this month. I have been feeling really bad as the boys need to be back in their room, but we did not have that extra money. But we could so handle $50. Brian put that baby in before they went to bed. This morning they were both up and ready to go. I didn't even have to wake them, and their room was a freezer. Maybe I will start sleeping in there too. I am so glad we found that unit, and I am grateful that they can now get a goods night rest in their own beds where they will not kick each other in the face.
