Zoo Adventures!

So yea, we went to the zoo ages ago but I finally got the pictures on the computer! Thankfully our wonderful Aunt Annette, Uncle, Kevin, & Cousin Sean have a Zoo membership so they let us tag along. The kids are getting more excited to go to the zoo every time!

Here are our little fishes!

And of course our signature just chilling in the wagon!

We'll throw in an actual picture of an animal too, but getting the kids to look at them for an extended period of time is still difficult!!

I'm sure we'll have plenty more Zoo adventures! Next year hopefully we can use the wagon to hold our lunch and drinks instead of kids!

Halloween Treats for nearly nothing!

Ok, both McDonald's and now Wendy's have some great deals for kids treats out there.

McDonald's

The book costs only a $1 & you get 12 coupons! 4 free apple dippers, 4 free small cones, and 4 free apple jiuce or milk jugs. AWESOME DEAL! The only thing is they are not valid until October 31st but otherwise I think your kids will thank you.

Now on to Wendy's!

Same idea, it costs $1 and you get 10 free junior frosty coupons which are not valid until Nov 1st but don't expire until February!

Grocery Store Adventures

So I had been putting off a trip to the grocery store for a week now just because its not my favorite thing to do with Emily. Its not that she is bad in store, she is actually very well behaved because she enjoys looking at the people and waving at them....It is the unloading of the car that I loathe. I never know how its going to work out, did I just get one bag, a million bags, seriously there has to be a better way(I know online grocery shopping).

Today there was extra annoyances because the stroller and 2 bowling balls were still in my trunk so I had to pack the groceries in the backseat(or so I thought I was). Emily and I were waiting patiently in our cart(because you cannot put Emily in the car until AFTER you return the cart otherwise you will get arrested-another fun addition to my life) while this woman parked next to us slowly put her child in the carseat, got in the car, handed him sanitizing stuff, checked her hair, checked her makeup(its 9am people), did other stuff that I have no idea why while I'm standing in the parking lot waiting like a fool. She knew I was there. Ignorant people, usually people with kids are even more in tune with that, but not this lady! Urg.

We survived, I ended up packing in the front seat(yes, that is HOW LONG SHE TOOK) and we made it home. I dragged the stuff in the garage, then took Em in, and then thankfully put her down for a nap so I could drag everything in the house.

Halloween is right around the corner!

Now just for laughs, here is a picture of Rosie in her pumpkin costume!

So I know my sister has been talking about Halloween since June. I am realizing it is right around the corner. Last year Ed didn't think Emily would appreciate a trip to a pumpkin farm so we didn't :( but I still got her a pumpkin and had her experience it! As of right now Emily is going to be Pebbles with her cousin Sean as Bam Bam(totally appropriate for both of them).

This was my cute baby last year!!! We went with the classic pumpkin costume because that is what I was for my first Halloween. We have a picture of her in my actual costume from many many years ago too but she posed better in the modern one!

IKEA Meatball Meal only $1 this weekend!

Speaking of IKEA! Just saw that this weekend Sept 18-20 you can get a Sweedish meatball meal(10 meatballs, mashed potatoes) and from experience they are absolutely delicious and that is an awesome deal if you happen to be by an IKEA!

Also, Mcdonald's has Halloween coupon booklets for kids. I believe they only cost $1 and have 12 coupons for free items like apple dippers and small cones. Great treats for little children who behave well!

Any questions about any deals let me know!

**if you are into facebook there are always extra coupons/deals/free stuff if you become fans of certain places!

It's been awhile!!!

Why did I stop blogging after I started? Well, life got a tad busy for awhile. Emily's eye teeth kind of took over the world and she wasn't feeling well for a few weeks. I promise in the next couple of weeks I'll be posting her past and current pictures as well as keep anyone updated on any awesome deals out there!

Some of our recent ones have been our trip to IKEA for free breakfast for Emily. It was our first adventure to the actual food court upstairs and it did not disapoint. It was weird, I won't lie. But now that I have done it once I feel like a pro! We did breakfast which seems like a better deal, but it definitely would be more exciting/exotic to do lunch.

More to come later! I promise but we have to get ready for swim lessons now!
