Yesterday was nice. After church we came home and ate leftovers and EVERYONE took a nap for a good two hours. I haven't had a nap like that in a long time. I had to go to Wal-Mart to get stuff to make brownies for the fellowship after the cantata and Johnny gave both boys a bath while I was gone. We headed over to the cantata, and I was able to pass the baby off and Nadine kept Corban in the back because Johnny and I were narrators. I was thrilled with how well Corban behaved. Now we'll have to see how he does at the Christmas Eve service at Johnny's parent's.

I'm finished with my Christmas shopping, so I'm thrilled about that. I have to wrap still, but that won't be a big deal during naps. I'm hoping to head out sometime this week though to look for some shoes for me. I haven't bought a new pair of shoes for about 3 years and I've been pregnant twice in that time. Oh, and I didn't tell you guys about the deal I got. I was sent a coupon for New York & Co. that if you spend $40, you get $20 off. When I went in all the sweaters were 50% off, so I picked up two that wer originally $39.95. Since there's no sales tax on clothes here, I had to buy a bottle of shower gel to get it up to $40, but the shower gel was one sale for $1.05. My final bill was $22 even and I got two sweaters and a bottle of shower gel. I think Kerry should be proud.

Caden had his 4 month check-up and shots last week. He is 50% for weight and length, and still 20% for head. He's still my "pea head." I looked up Corban's weight at 4 months to compare. Caden was 14 lbs 13 oz, Corban was 16 lbs 5 oz. A pound and a half makes a big difference at 4 months! Both boys are back to sleeping through the night at this point, so that makes life better for me. I'm hoping that Christmas doesn't screw them up too much.

I used that same coupon at Lerner...and also bought shower gel to get myself up to $40. I only got one sweater, though, so you beat me!

I am proud!

Last week I got 3 sweaters at Ann Taylor Loft for $36, and the original total was $157. Seriously - who pays that?

I need to go into Ann Taylor Loft more often, but honestly I don't usually go anywhere that doesn't sell kids clothes too. Lerner sucked me in with that coupon!
