Great Monday

I am so proud of myself. I love to bargain shop but I'm not very good at it. I'm so jealous of those people who can always find what they want and it's always on sale. We just had a new Target open close to my house. They sent these coupons to everyone in the close neighborhoods so Mon. I thought I'd do my grocery shopping at Target. It was awesome! Most of the stuff was on sale and you could use the coupons on top of it. I got $75 worth of stuff and I only paid $45 and that includes a $15 can of formula and $6 baby wipes. Everything I bought was either on sale or I had a coupon for it. Now I know that was Target's whole idea in the first place to get people to come into the store, but it was still cool. That's the best bargain shopping I think I've done in a very long time.





Then, when Kevin got home, I got to plant my strawberries. Strawberries are my favorite fruit. I got kind of spoiled before college because my dad had a big strawberry patch. We had so many we didn't know what to do with them. I made Kevin promise that when we had our first house I got to plant strawberries. This year he kept his promise. He built me a planter box to put them in. He finished it Mon. night. I am so excited for them to grow.













Monday was a good day.

Hi Marissa! I had to catch up on some posts. Your boys are so cute! Gavin's sure growing fast. Audrey is nine months but she's not even crawling yet.
The landscaping on your house looks great.
And freshly grown strawberries sound delicious! I love strawberries but I realize I don't really ever taste good, fresh ones. Since they are shipped from california mostly I have forgotten what garden ones taste like. My aunt grew some and they were so good!
