We had a great weekend, and a crazy week so far!  Daddy and I took the babies to the park and played on Sunday!  The babies got to go down the slide with Mommy and Daddy for the first time!  I think they liked it!  I know I thought it was great fun!

Sunday at 7pm, I went grocery shopping with coupons.  Guess what time I finished?  10pm!!!!! It was BRUTAL.  My brain hurt so badly by the time I was finished, I think it turned to mush momentarily.  I never knew grocery shopping could make one so tired!  It exhausted me.  Poor Raj.  He called me at 9:40.  He was worried I had been in a car accident or hurt or something.  By the time he called, I was truly in the “zone”!  Plus, I knew Publix closed at 10pm, so I had to hurry!  He was pretty shocked I was still shopping, but once he knew I was fine, we hung up!

Here is the most important part……………

I spent $161…..I saved $157!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe that?!?!?!?!?!  I am still pretty shocked.  I know there are ways to save more, but for my first try, I am pleased.  Do you know the coolest part?  I did not buy one store brand item!  It was so neat to come home with brand name foods for cheaper than store brands!

My best friend Amanda from Nashville came in late Sunday night.  She spent a crazy two days with me, and now she is gone.  I am pretty sad.  I miss her.  However, I will get to see her when she comes down for the babies’ birthday party.  OMG!  Can you believe we are talking about their first birthday?  What had happened to the past year?  It has flown by way too quickly!

I love you all.
