I shouldn't laugh .... but I did.

Jordan has been practicing going on the potty. Despite the fact that she doesn't talk much, she manages to convey with grunts and points her intentions. About 6pm tonight she did her little grunt and point and we complied and took her in to do her business (well, michael did). So, she does it and michael gives her praises and lets her flush and wash her hands (this is a big step as well). About 5 minutes later, Taylor announces she would like a bath. I tell the girls to run upstairs and get undressed and I'll be right there. Taylor took that as her job to get them both undressed. Jordan first of course. Jordan is standing naked in the bathroom and Taylor is still stuck in her dress because she can't get to the buttons. While I am undoing the buttons it sounds like a cup of water has hit the floor. Yes, Jordan just pottied AGAIN , not even 10 minutes later. Scared her to death. And to top it off, she starts to do a little slippy slide in her own business and has a coniption fit with herself. Why couldn't she let her entire bladder go when she was on the potty? So, as terrible as it sounds, with Jordan crying that she just messed all the way down her leg ... I laughed.

What would you tell your child when they ask ....

What would you tell your child when they ask .... when is Santa Claus' birthday? Yes, I have been asked that recently and was a little stumped. I don't know that I ever really thought about that before. Apparently, this is very important to our little deep thinker in the family!

Coupon Crazy

Michael says I'm crazy. I would rather think that I am smart! We have scored pretty well lately on free items or nearly free! Some of my favorite have been in the last 2 weeks!

- Kleenex (FREE!)
- Valley Fresh Steam Veggies (FREE!)
- Chex Mix (FREE)
- Chinet Paper Plates (FREE)
- Betty Crocker Frosting (FREE)
- Progresso Chicken Broth (FREE!!!)
- Pillsbury 5lb flour (I'm going to get 6 bags for $1 this week at Albertsons!)
- 10 lb bag of Russett Potatoes (Free with $10 purchase at Safeway this week!)

Yeah, it takes time but it sure can be rewarding to walk out with several bags of groceries for $1.25! The casher called someone over to guess how much I'd spent! I would have spent like $55 without the coupons!
