Clayton

My cousin had her baby last week and Dana, the boys, and I crashed her house for 30 minutes to visit...Aunt Dana took these pics of Clayton....I weighed him last night and he is 11.4 pounds.

So, I think my brother thinks I am the coupon queen...so they are calling me now days....I am working on getting them to be couponers...you can't go wrong on diapers...even though I will be cloth diapering....they aren't great for nights and days out...so I will do Disposables during that time...hoping to potty train Justin in the next few months...so I am not buying too many for him, but 2 packs are for him.

So here are my deals...I had to make 2 purchases...to get the better deal.

Here are 3 Jumbo packs of Huggies...they are on sale at rite aid this week...

Transaction 1:
3 for $33.00
I had (3) $3.00 coupons...total of 9.00 off
There is a rebate for buying 3 of them for $10.00 off
and with this and the other special going on, I will get anohter $5.00 rebate for the fall gift of savings program....total will pay after I get all my rebates, etc.
So, basically I am paying $9.00 for all these Pure and Natural diapers!

Transaction 2:
3 Jumbo packs of Huggies Diapers $33.00
I had (3) $2.00 coupons - total of $6.00 off
Also had an additional doubler coupon for Rite aid of $1.00 off
I will get the $10.00 rebate for these too.

There are 3 packs of Ivory (3 pack) of soap that were on a deal for $1.00 each. I had (3) $0.25 coupons, making them $.75 each

The dove bar of soap was totally FREE....I had a Rite aid coupon for $1.00 off.

And, the huggies body wash was on sale for 2 for $5.00. You get a 1.00 rebate and I had 2 coupons....1.25 and 1.50 off.

I will also get another $10.00 back for fall spending (i had a few other smaller items on another purchase that make the total $50 to get the $10, but close enough)....so I will have paid 9.50 for all of these:

A New House

We have been on the house hunt since we moved here and more aggressivly since we sold our old house and Clayton arrived. We looked at some older homes and found that what we loved was some homes we had seen on our first trip at the first of the year. It will be penny pincher to live here, but we are exstatic to have such a nice home and layout. This home will be an open floorplan (much like our last home)...and only a little bit smaller...slightly over 1400 SF.

3 bedrooms, 2 baths.....we hope to be moving in right around Turkey day..pending it is done on time without delays....here is a photo of it today.

We are also selling our Tahoe....so if you are interested, let me know. We are ready for a Mini-Van...something we never thought we would do...but with 2 kids, it just seems like the logical thing to do....the tahoe is great, but we would like little to no payments and a better access to the 3rd seat....our current tahoe has the 3rd seat, but you have to climb over the middle...great for kids, etc....it will be missed....OR - if any of you have loads of cash and want to pay it off for us...well, we wouldn't turn you down :)
