Really Great Deal/Site

So I bought a magazine, which I never do. In it there were some really good site ideas for saving money. I decided to try ebates, because I could get coupon offers and cash back from sites I was shopping at anyway. It really works and is such an awesome deal. Here is a link to the awesomeness. Click on it to visit and get a one-time bonus. Yay, bonuses are good. :)

Happy shopping!

End of May 2010 Poster

It is the end of May. School is out. Summer has started. A year ago we didn't think we'd ever get here. Yet, somehow, it seems to have zoomed right by!

Already making progress on the second half of the poster!

That is a wonderful sight!

We've been waiting for these numbers to look like this!

First Day of Year 2 Poster!

And today is day 365 for the 2nd day in a row! The numbers will be getting smaller from here on. I can't believe we are on the count down already!

On the 2nd half of the poster! Happy day!!!

Day 365!

See the numbers getting smaller? That's good. Come on June 2011!!!

And Another Happy Happy Day!

As if yesterday wasn't happy enough....today is the last day of school for the year! Happy day! We have so many plans for the summer. So much to do, so much we want to accomplish.

We have the matinees at Cine-four every Monday at noon. Morgan's besties Mandy and Lexi are planning on going with us. We will invite others to use the tickets on the days the girls can't go.

We have the library movies every Tuesday at 2:00. They are free and G-rated. They are so fun to just go to together. I usually get some reading time in too. Yay!

We are going to go on hikes and walks. Go swimming and to the lake. Go to the dam and feed the ducks. Hopefully we'll be able to get some day trips in. We won't really get a vacation because we're remodeling the house this year. Yeah, that takes all the time and money.

And I plan on reading........A LOT!!! I haven't got to do that much for the last 2 years because of all the time Ameri-corps took. But I'm gonna make up for it!

And Tanner will be going to Greenville next year. He is in the Greenville bounderies since they switched to K-5 now. I have asked to transfer there with him. I probably won't find out until August if I have a job or where it's at.

So see you through the summer! School's out until August 26th! Three whole months of summer break. YAY!!!!!
