Couponing Part II

My wife is amazing! She spent an hour or so printing out and organizing coupons. When she got back she had spent $125 but had purchased $371 of food. That is a savings of 66%. You should have seen the amount of food she brought home. I laughed when I saw the 50+ boxes of cereal and tried to fit them in our storage room.

my son created a blog and he wants people to know. here it is http://colton-mrblog.blogspot.com/ thank you.

Dads aren't so smart

I had a brilliant idea on the day after Halloween. In an attempt to monitor the amount of candy the kids ate, I thought I would make an ingenious rule. For every piece of candy the kids ate, they had to give me one of them. We played a 3 hour game of monopoly. By the end of the game I was so sick of candy. Then I realized why I had eaten so much. I was greatly outnumbered and for every one piece of candy that the kids had, I had 4. Sometimes I am not so smart :)

Growing Up

Our kids are growing up so fast. Colton and Chase even went trick or treating all by themselves - like "big" kids. Colton even refused to take the store bought trick or treat bag and insisted on taking a pillow case. They were excited to take the cell phone. Of course when I called him I heard someone answer but not say hello. I guess I need to give him a few cell phone etiquette lessons :)

Colton started a new blog:

Beans and Gangsters

Tonight was taco and burrito night. During our dinner conversation today, Chase showed us how "gangsters" wear there hats. He said he was a good gangster, not a bad one. We discussed how gangs made good people do bad things. Somehow Chase miss-heard us and said "beans make good people do bad things?" :) Yes, we said.
