The baby with one shoe

Ahhh what a week...
One day this week while picking up the girls Anna Kate decided to kick off a shoe in the school's parking lot.  I never noticed and drove happily home to discover the one shoe baby and then looked in my car for approximately 15 seconds before deciding it had been thrown to Elizabeth's side or was under a seat.  We had torrential rain that night and the next day when I brought Anna Kate to her classroom there sat the shoe.
This picture doesn't really do it justice.
A wonderful mom came to Anna Kate's classroom and told Melissa she found this and thought it belonged to a little person.  It survived the 24 hour non stop rain and had been run over more than once.  Poor shoe, it was well loved.

Current stage of the black eye. "Mickey hit me"
Anna Kate at the park going down the big kid slide without any help.  She probably would have been mad if I tried to help anyways.
 Elizabeth played hooky with Julie this Wendseday.  I wish everyone had neighbors like us.  Jamie, Julie's mom, is so much fun and has such a relaxed attitude with these munchkins.  I got one text during the day that said "but miss jamie my mom won't let me have gum, shaddup kid and put it in your mouth!" She's not afraid to tell me when I'm being a stick in the mud and I like that!  I can't wait to see the entire day of photos I know she took. 
One last picture, here is Elizabeth playing Snow White and Julie being the witch!
Check Elizabeth's shoes!
Ok, so my newest obession is maxing out my savings at various stores.  My picture of what I got for us is not very good, there is a rotisserie chicken, 6 boxes of cereal, 4 juicy juice, 3 blocks of cheese, (free) gal milk, two shrimp scampi...blah blah blah. This is easily enough food for us for more than a week and I spent roughly $57, saved $64.  The girls checking me out said, wow you have a coupon for everything!  You bet I do.  This is not by any means the best one can do, but if I never used coupons or watched the BOGO sales I would have spent way more.  I'm still really proud of my free milk, with the 4 cereals on a BOGO sale with a $1.50 coupon on that, final $1.60 per box plus free milk.

  1. Maybe you should try to sell the shoe adventure to the company as an advertisement for how great the shoes are. When you become rich from the royalty fees you can pay for me to go to Europe with you.

    I love the Mickey ears on AK!
