By some Sunday morning miracle both kids slept until 8am. My daughter has never slept until 8am, not even when she's been sick and not even when we have been on vacation where we let them stay up past 9pm.
It was such a good morning I decided to load up the kids and head into town for some shopping! We stopped and grabbed several newspapers since there were 4 inserts this week, and then headed to the little town (as opposed to the big city) to shop at CVS.
It was a good trip and even though I dragged them around the store for an hour my kids were so well behaved! I feel like that needs to be written again, my kids were well behaved! I couldn't believe it. Most shopping trips with the kids end up with me carrying a fussy 32 pound toddler around, sweat beading up on my forehead while the bigger kid begs for everything he sees. So not pleasant.
So this is what I got:
I spent $37 out of pocket, but I also got back $24 in Extra Care Bucks for my next trip and I think that's a pretty good deal. After this shopping trip and a couple more I had recently I am all stocked up on deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion for the next 9 months. I was most proud of my peanut butter purchases. We eat a lot of peanut butter here. They were on sale, 3 for $5, and if you spent $15 you got $5 in Extra Care Bucks back. So I bought 9 jars. But I also had 9 $1 off coupons from a recent coupon booklet at Vons, and that means I paid $6 out of pocket, with $5 back, so I ended up getting 9 jars for $1!
And did I mention my kids behaved?
It is AMAZING what SLEEEEEP does for a kid!! YAY for a day to sleep in- AND good behavior!!!!
