Busy weekend, exspensive too!

Let's see - we spent all day at my parents yesterday. While we were there, my mom told me that she had a credit for the local quilt shop and that I should use it for fabrics! DD11 came with me and decided she wanted to make an Amy Butler bag. So, between the two of us, we used up the credit and then spent another $18! Then, there is a Hostess outlet near there, so we stopped and got stuff for us and my parents which was another $25. So, the "free credit" that I was given cost me $43! We all had a lot of fun with Nana and Papa though so it was worth it.

Today, we went grocery shopping. There were lots of sales and I had coupons so we really stocked up. At least, I hope we stocked up! We spent roughly $250!!!! But, we should only need milk and maybe a few more fruits and veggies over the next two weeks.

The older kids start school this week so we also added lunch stuff as they will be taking their lunch sometimes.

I am hoping that I will have more time for sewing once they are back in school. DD4 will be in preschool 3 afternoons a week so even with one or two of times spent running errands, I should get one afternoon to myself. I hope. :)
