Paint, Coupons, Turkey, & More...


Alright so we are def moved in now. We still had our apartment until the 21st so we still had some random stuff there but we officially are out of there and eagerly waiting for our deposit to come in the mail! :) The People before us had a HUGE dog and a cat (kevin is allergic & i think dylan is too) So after we got the carpets cleaned Dyls room still smelled so Mike came back and re cleaned them and then kevin and i had the "brilliant" idea to paint the room since everything was already moved out. After all it would only take like a day.... NOT The pictures are from over a week span. Although i wish the blue had been a tiny tiny bit darker we both really like it. :) But man... those stripes, cursed stripes, who's smart idea was it to paint stripes!!!????? ;)   
Even painting on his bday... im mean ;)







we also did the little wall right when the door opens














As those of you who are reading this know, i LOVE coupons. So this year was the 1st time that i had ever couponed on thanksgiving or black friday sales of any kind. I went out bright and early (6:45) thanksgiving morning and scored at CVS! Then got donuts, went home woke up the gang, hung out and went back out to Walgreens where i ran into Karen & Kristin who got me a yummy Starbucks! (Thanks guys!) Then went home finished up our part of thanksgiving and headed over to Kristin & Greg's. It was delicious and tons of fun we played Pictionary and the girls won (again, surprise surprise lol) Then we headed over to my parents and got to eat MORE yummy food & my moms delicious pumpkin pie & See's candy of course!
  Kristin, Megan, & Cole


<--> Walgreens trip, (not pictured a nerf gun for dylan & some lady items ;) )  33.89$ saved 134.94 got 3 free movie rentals and this time no RR because i rolled them over on the excess amount of paper towels & t.p. (which we desperately needed) - 3 pain relievers, 2 fusion face washes, toothapaste, venus razor, 2 packages of hairbands, 2 bottles of sparkling grape, 18 rolls of paper towels, 6 laundry detergents, 6 wrapping papers, t.p.

 <-Cvs run came out to be 13.13$ Saved 57.16 and got back 23.06 in ECB so basically made 9.03! (I will prob use those ECB to get colored ink this week, all my coupons have been printing missing crucial information, luckily for me i haven't had a problem with any clerks) 


Friday morning we headed out bright and early to see if we could find a dryer on "black friday" no luck, but did get to go to bath and body works we needed hand soap & i had a coupon for spend 10$ get a free item up to 13. (i love the "stress relief aromatherapy" stuff and even more when its FREE) Then we had time to kill before we headed up to lowes to pick up our washers "feet" which somehow got not delivered with it. So we headed to Joanns with Nicole & Kristin who were very crazy and had been out all night shopping. We also went back today and got tons of stuff for the house and for christmas presents :)
 I got baskets at Joanns for my baking & cooking spices. 6$ (down from 20) & got a big basket  w/liner for my potoates, onions, garlic, and ginger for 6.56 (down from 25)
Picture of part of my coupon stockpile, kevin even made labels for everything & my stockpile in the garage :D 

We bought these lamps also today, 20$ off with another 10$ coupon!


Some random pictures....
I started journaling last night, i wish i would've started when Dyl was born, He says the funniest things and i know we have already forgotten SO many. Lucky for me it wasn't TOO many since he didn't talk for so long, but i am determined to keep track of as much as i can :)
