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...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
