This & That

This Happened:

We went to the zoo and had a blast! We renewed our membership that just expired this past month, and we are so looking forward to going more. This was also G man's first year going, and of course I did not document it the way that I had with E. Elliana also thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't stop talking about the zoo when we cam home.

Graham found his feet! What is it about babies and finding their feet? I just think it is the cutest thing ever. So now he plays with his feet and hands all day.
And I am in love with sleeping babies. Seriously... it has got to be one of the cutest things on earth.

Went to that:

Super Why live show. I have written a blog post about this and excited to share the details of this day. My heart was full on this day. Truly full.

This email came:

Ebates sent me an email stating that I would be receiving my $214 check in the mail. Have you heard of ebates? Are you shopping through ebates? If not, you should! It's a free program and it is simple. You sign up, you get a free $10 gift card after your first purchase online, and the concept of the program is that you basically search which store you want to shop at {Macys, Kohls, etc}, it directs you to that store, tracks your purcahses, and then gives you a percentage back. Then you recommend it to friends and make even more! After 3 months, they send you a check! Free money. My only thing is sometimes I forget to go through their site when I site. It's like throwing away money.

Made That:

We finally got around to putting together Elliana's sandbox and putting sand in it. Best part about it? It only cost us $40, compared to the $150 ones that I was looking at. I will share the details later.

Mine and E's favorite snack:
Made with my favorite homemade granola recipe{with some changes on my part}

In love with that:

My first i-phone album came. Now, if you know me... you know I am obsessed with making albums of our family. The other day, Andrew said to me..."We really need to finally print these pictures from our phone." And he was right. You see, we will sit late at night just going through our phones and having these pictures bring back so many good memories. They are some of our favorite of all time. So I finally did it and purchased my first book full of just iphone pictures. 150 pages worth. For those that have asked... I went through walgreens. They always have promo codes on their site and additional codes on retailmenot.com. You can combine discount codes and shipping codes!

  7. How did Elianna like the zoo last year compared to this year? I am looking forward to taking Noah this month or next. I think he will like it, but at the same time not truly understand it. Either way, we're going. :)
