Our day in pictures

Well, I have a lot of really cute pics from today, but blogger will not let me upload them!!! ARGH!!!!!!! We had a lot of fun today; Rowan and I took the wagon for a spin, he ate pineapple and LOVED IT!!! I went on a cooking and baking spree, and turns out Rowan really loves cheese sauce and brownie batter! LOL He was COVERED in chocolate...I let him help me bake brownies; it was messy, but super fun for both of us! He is eating like a champ again! Scrambled eggs and chex for breakfast; pears, mixed veggies, tator tots and tortellini for lunch; dinner was peaches, mixed veggies, and hamburger/small shells/cheese sauce casserole...which he LOVED! Snacks were normal and typical, fruit, cereals, etc. We played outside a lot today, Ro's fave thing to do!
Tomorrow is the doctor's apt. I'll update ya tomorrow on how this turns out!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing makes me happier than finding a great deal on diapers (okay, maybe SOME things! LOL), and thanks to my wonderful and WISE sister, I found a great deal!!! She informed me of this wonderful website, babycheapskate.com, where I can always find the best deals on diapers each week. I seem to spend a good bulk of our budget on diapers every week, so I am constantly looking for good times to stock up.
This week, there is a wonderful deal at Target. As I have often said, I will not make a special trip to Springfield in search of a good deal. However, tomorrow Rowan has his appointment with the eating specialist in Springfield, so I am attempting to make the most of my gas money! LOL I will be stopping at Toys R Us to get my FREE Thomas toy, and then will hit Target.

You can see more about the Target diaper deals at the above listed website, but here is what I will do.

Target has Pampers Big Packs for $19.99 and Pampers Sensitive Wipes for $7.99. When you buy BOTH in one transaction, you will get a $5 gift card to use on a future purchase. Also, I have a coupon for $5 off purchase of both Pampers diapers and wipes, as well as a $3 off coupon for both. SOOOO...

FIRST TRANSACTION:
one Pampers Big Pack $19.99
One sensitive Wipes box $7.99
___________________________
TOTAL $27.99
- $5 coupon
- $3 coupon
- $5 GC
_____________
TOTAL $19.98

I will then turn around and use the $5 gift card on my next transaction. For two boxes of Pampers diapers and two boxes of wipes, I will spend $34.96, and have another $5 gift certificate...too bad they probably won't let me use the GC during that transaction!
I may find some more coupons, which would be fantastic!!! Jamie, if you know of a better way to do this, please let me know. Normally I prefer Huggies, but I can't pass this one up!
