Day 89: Sleepy Saturday

Today was just a nice day to kick back and relax. Steff was so exhausted from yesterday's intense drive and finals week, and we were all pretty tired ourselves. So, we spent the entire day kicking back and doing nothing and I loved every second of it. I don't think Lucy and Jack loved it as much, they got a little stir crazy because it was too cold to send them out to jump or play in the back yard. Jack went out and jumped anyway, but what can you do?

I hit up some coupon specials today and was pleased as punch about it. I was sent to the store for some Orange Juice for breakfast this morning, and I was happy about it. I've been itching to get to Safeway for a couple of days now because with my glorious coupons I was able to purchase Dunkin Hinz Brownie mixes for $.25 a box. I only wish I had more than 9 coupons, but that's all I had. I also got several bottles of Kraft salad dressing (18 to be exact) for $.50 a bottle. When I told my mother in law that I stocked up on those, everyone was annoyed with me and said "How in the heck are you going to use 18 bottles of salad dressing before it goes bad?" Well see, I'm smart that way. I mainly stocked up on Italian and French dressings because I use these in marinades and recipes I have. I did get some Ranch which Jack has just discovered and fallen in love with, and I got a couple vinaigrette verities. Couponing, it's the way to live I tell you what.

By the end of the day we'd played a rousing hand of Speed Uno, which I came in 2nd place and I'm proud of it. Jack and Lucy were helping us play this at one point and it was very entertaining. Jack was sitting on my lap and we gave him 3 cards of his own to hold so he'd leave mine alone. Well, he's no dummie, and as he sat and watched us all throwing our cards into the middle he decided that's what he needed to do. It really complicated things. We ended up sending Jack and Lucy into the living room to play their own game of Uno.We all enjoyed Papa Murphy's Pizza for dinner and then we loaded our kids up and headed home. It's nice to make a good weekend visit out of our Temple trips up there, especial with gas prices the way that they are.
