Shopping like Thieves!

This little Blog of mine should definitely not become a couponing blog, but I don't want to forget what happened yesterday!
When I started this whole couponing thing I was excited about saving a few dollars here and there, then, after a few weeks I became even more excited about scoring free toothpaste and other items at the grocery store every once in a while, but I would've never imagined to walk out of the store with two bags of groceries and more money in my pocket than I came with. 
Yes, that's right, the store paid me to take their groceries. Can you believe it? Because I still can't!
We took $25 worth of groceries and got $1.06 cash back! We kinda felt like thieves when we left the store...no one folowing us?...no?...okay then...I guess we're good!

Mein kleiner Blog soll auf keinen Fall zu einem Couponing Blog werden, aber ich will nicht vergessen, was gestern passiert ist!

Als ich anfing Coupons zu benutzen, habe ich mich gefreut, hier und da ein paar Dollar sparen zu koennen, dann, nach ein paar Wochen habe ich mich noch mehr gefreut, als ich ab und an mal umsonst Zahnpasta und andere Dinge im Supermarkt bekommen habe, aber ich haette mir nie vorstellen koennenmit zwei Einkaufstüten und mehr Geld in der Tasche als ich beim reingehen hatte, den Supermarkt zu verlassen.
Ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen, das Geschäft hat mich dafuer bezahlt, dass ich ihre Lebensmittel mit nach Hause nehme. Koennt ihr das glauben? Denn ich kann es immer noch nicht fassen!
Wir haben Lebensmittel im Wert von $25 mitgenommen und bekamen $1,06 noch dazu! Wir kamen uns wie Diebe vor, als wir den Supermarkt verliessen...laeuft uns auch niemand hinterher?...nein?...ok, dann ist das anscheinend in Ordnung!



And this is what we got: 6 bags of pasta, two yoghurts, two nesquiks and two chex mix!
It was REALLY hard not to do my little "happy dance" in front of the cashier! 
(But be assured that I did it in the parking lot:))

Und hier ist unsere Ausbeute: 6 Pakete Nudeln, zwei Joghurts, zwei Nesquiks und zwei Chex Mix!

Es war nicht einfach, meinen kleinen Freudentanz nicht direkt vor der Kassierin zu machen

(Aber ihr koennt euch darauf verlassen, dass ich ihn auf dem Parkplatz nachgeholt habe:))

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
