Another Milestone

Grandma and Grandpa Rice,Grandma Smith and Aunt Haley came to watch Grayson Graduate.

Grayson loved his teacher Miss Chris! She was so awesome!

Grayson was so excited to go to school this year. I was able to get him into a great preschool that exceeded all of my expectations. His teachers and classmates were awesome. I can't wait for Maycie to start next year, I am sure she will love it too. His graduation was totally awesome. Of course Grayson was the kid who couldn't stop playing with his tassel and shading the bright spot light from his eyes, but all in all he did a great job. My favorite part was when the teachers gave the students their certificates they asked each kid "what do you want o be when you grow up?" Grayson said a spaceman...but one little boy said he wanted to be a Vampire, which totally made me laugh. We are so proud of Grayson and can't wait for him to start Kindergarten next year!

I wish I would have known...

My new addiction has been coupon grocery shopping. I mostly just use the weekly ads and visit the stores with the best deals. I have found my grocery shopping takes me about an hour with all of my kids with me. I have done it for 3 months now and can say that I have cut my grocery bill from $120 a week to around $60 bucks. I can't believe how much I save. I am not one of the crazy ladies who just buys stuff to get good deals, I only buy what I need and am going to use. This week I spent $78.00 at Albertsons before coupons and I left with all of the groceries for $38.00. My next stop was Smiths and I was at $62.00 before and after I was at $26.50. I can't believe how much just checking out my weekly ads really has saved me. I always just thought that shopping at Walmart was the best deal but oh was I wrong!!! I found this hilarious shirt on a coupon blog called krazycouponlady.blogspot.com that says across the back of it "find another check out lane, honey" it kinda cracks me up. Oh another great blog I found for you fellow Target shoppers is attentiontargetshoppers.blogspot.com.
