I saved $86.29

I just returned a little while ago from a shopping trip to Walgreen's.  They have some really good deals this week!  I spent $45.45 and saved $86.29.  I have been working so hard to try and figure out how to really become a smart shopper by using coupons.  This has been my best shopping trip so far!  I was so excited to come home and show Mark all the FREE stuff I got and how I only paid 33 cents for hair color that usually sales for $7.99 a box!  I'm working very hard at trying to save money and become more frugal.  We are working towards being debt FREE!  I'm looking forward to the day that I post my DEBT FREE blog!  I know with God's help and strength we can do it! 

We've had a busy week, Annagrace had a dental appointment on Thursday in Montgomery.  She had to add rubber bands to her mouth appliance.  I can already see a shift in her teeth!  She had an appointment on Friday with the podiatrist, to have her plantars warts shaved off.  After 2 treatments hopefully they are gone and won't come back.  Will has not enjoyed the back and forth to the appointments, Nathan really could care less, he's just happy wherever he is or whatever he's doing.  Will and Annagrace enjoyed the weekend with friends over.  Never a dull moment around here!  I got a wild hair and started painting a tree in Nathan's bedroom.  I'm going to paint a mural on his wall of animals!  I got the tree trunk and branches painted yesterday, and the leaves added today!  I'll post some pics soon. 

I had a great time in Children's Church this morning at church!  We talked about keeping a "pure mind". This was our theme this morning..."Don't let bad thoughts hang around-cause if you do, they'll take you down!"  How that spoke me!  Our ears and eyes are like doors to our minds... What are we letting in? 

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  Phil 4:8
