Noah's Ark

So it's not even 6:45 p.m. and both kids are clean & ready for bed....however they probably will not go to sleep for a couple of hours. Dinner was extremely messy so Savannah desperately needed a bath before anything else. Went in the garden tonight, picked 3 more tomato's and some more broccoli, starting to get a good little crop :)

So this past Saturday we met up with John, Carol, Kari & Hanna and took Connor to Noah's Ark (Savannah stayed behind, seemed like a little much for so little). We had a blast playing in the park. We enjoyed a lot of time in the wave pool, took Connor on Flash Flood twice & Congo Bongo. Hanna, Kari, Hanna's friend Izzy & I went on Black Thunder, and John, Kari, Hanna, Izzy, Scott & I went on Kawabunga. Other than that we just played in the kiddie areas & Paradise Lagoon. I would have liked to do a lot of the other rides, but it was just crazy busy. We would have liked to stay longer than we did too (left at 3p.m.), but we had to go pick up Savannah. Next time we just bring Savannah & stay till close I think! I don't think we're going to have another chance to go this summer, so it'll just have to wait until next year.........can you believe the summer is almost over? It just goes by way to fast......Connor starts school in a month.....

Eggs & Potatos

Ran to Kohl's tonight because I noticed online they had a TON of clearance, so I wanted to see if the same was true in the store, and yup! It was! I spent $74.01 and saved $395.85. If there was an extreme couponing for clothes, that'd be what I do, lol, now if I could only do the same with groceries we'd save so much money.......but I'm not sure if it would work for us or not because we eat pretty cheaply as it is. Anyways, can't wait for tomorrow, taking Connor to Noah's Ark & I get to use my new waterproof digital camera!!

Since we haven't gone to the grocery store in over a week, food in the house is getting pretty scarce so Wednesday night we ate up the last of the eggs & potatoes, and we gave Savannah some. She seemed to enjoy it a lot, she definitely seems to be eating a lot more food recently, she ate probably 1/4 of an egg cut up and a few pieces of a potato, which is a lot for her. She's definitely getting the hang of this Baby Led Weaning Stuff, and I'm so glad we went this route with her. No fighting to get her to eat, most of her calories are coming from breast milk, which is now recommended for the first year to be the majority of the calories, so whatever she actually eats is just in addition to not in replacement of breast milk. If we have another baby after this, we will definitely be going this route again!
