Rainy Days and Couponing

June 14, 2010 - When I say, "Jump", ...
We're starting to feel like Noah probably felt. I don't even remember what the sun looks like. But instead of staying cooped up in the house again, this morning we decided to go out and play in the rain. And it was worth the mud that tracked into the house and the soaking wet clothes! :)


June 13, 2010 - Starting my coupon adventure
...with majorly chipping, nails, I now notice. Anyway, I took a couponing class (yes, a class!) a couple weeks ago and am trying it out. When I start spending $20 a month on groceries, I'll let you know. :)

June 11, 2010 - Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black. Being in the pit orchestra for "The Music Man", I need to wear all black every night. So the kids sing Miss Mary Mack to me and ask if I could please wear something silver buttons down the back. :)


June 12, 2010 - Mushmello?
Now that we have our new popcorn popper, we buy lots of marshmallows for popcorn balls! :)
