My Dark Knight

Michael just got his puppets and costume for the summer in!

He is a ferocious dark knight! Campers and VBS kids BEWARE! 

Mother's Day Weekend

I just wanted to share a quick post about our weekend. My sister came up on Friday afternoon with her girls so we could all go to our Mother-Daughter Luncheon on Saturday.

The twins look ecstatic to get their picture taken, don't they?

This was my little family on Mother's day

I took this picture right after opening my gift and Josiah was a little intent on staring at my present.

They got me SHARI'S BERRIES!!!!!!! I am so excited! I love these things! The box that they get shipped in crack me up. Here are two pics of the sayings they have on the box.

You want to see what was in the box?

I warn you... my doors are locked and I refuse to share!

12 glorious chocolate covered strawberries. I think the white chocolate ones are my favorite but they are all so incredibly good!!!

Life is GOOD!

Those potato roll buns were not on sale... I splurged. I can't wait to have them tonight with my bbq beef!

And who can pass up $1 shirts? Or $.55/lb chicken? Everything else was free (minus the cards)! :)

Happy Wednesday!

Publix/Winn Dixie Shopping Trips

Publix

Transaction #1

Spent: $0.18  Saved: $18.77 or 99%

Transaction #2

Spent: $5.17  Saved: $16.78 or 76%

***

Winn Dixie

Spent: $25.71  Saved: $31.66 or 55%

I went to WD to use that $5 off $30 coupon so I can get the bogo roast. I picked up some stuff I needed and the canned stuff that was on sale to bring it up to $30. 

Guess what is in my crock pot for dinner tonight?

Josiah got spoiled today with all these stickers! Last week Publix was out of stickers and my cashier and bagger felt so bad that they couldn't give him one. Today I had the same ladies so each of them gave him one even before my groceries started to be scanned. :) And of course, the lady at Winn Dixie saw the Publix stickers and commented on them and then promptly handed Josiah a WD sticker. :-)

Don't forget there will be a free coupon class this Friday @ 6pm @ my mom's house (Let me know if you need directions!). All you need to bring is a side dish or dessert. I hope you can come enjoy some fellowship with other ladies as we discuss one of my favorite topics! :)

Free Coupon Class!

I have had several ladies interested in learning how to coupon so I will be having a coupon class on 

Friday, May 6th at 6pm at my mom's house. 

(If you need directions, let me know!)

The best part is it will be FREE! 

Sort of...

Instead of charging for the class all I am asking is that you bring a side dish or dessert.

I am hoping that this will be just a fun, laid back time as we discuss how to coupon. Even if you already know how to coupon you are welcome to come, have fun, and share some things that have helped you on your journey of couponing.

If you have any questions you can leave a comment or email me at pertylilredneck@hotmail.com!

The Big Hunt

Proud of his eggs that he found. (He's been asking us to hide things ever since so he can go find it.)

Nana, Josiah, and Grandaddy

Me & J

Daddy & J

Easter Morning- J with his new Mr. Potato Head

What Josiah looked like before we left for Church

What Mr. Potato Head looked like before we left for Church

After Church we went to our friends house for a wonderful lunch and soaked in some air conditioning.

Isn't this a cute bunny cake!

(sorry it's sideways, didn't feel like fixing it.)

Josiah has been a nut with all the pieces to Mr. Potato Head. 

Smile!

This morning when I woke up I could hear Josiah quietly calling out "Mommy, help, I stuck." 

When I went in his room this is what had happened...

I laughed made Michael come see and snapped a picture before I helped get the bucket pulled off.

I love being a Mommy!
