Kyle in Durham
Kyle spent 4 days in Durham last week W/O us! But he was busy researching, presenting a paper, watching Duke basketball (with some avid Dukies), catching up with a couple friends, and meeting a lot of great people at the ISAE conference. Mom and Dad were able to hear him present his paper (and take a couple photos). We missed him but were glad he had such a great time.
Park fun
The kids had fun last night at park. Wes was able to climb all the way up the slide and was quite proud of himself. Jack was having a blast throwing the frisbee and kicking the ball. Lillian surprised herself by climbing all the way the monkey bars.
My newest hobby: Couponing
I tried a couple years ago to be better about clipping coupons and therefore saving money on food and staple items. It was not the right time and I was soon buried in coupons and not using a single one at the store. But I've started again. The first thing to do is start collecting, through the paper (multiple sets), internet, magazines, and anywhere else you can find. Then you organize, then you research, then you head to the stores. I use a couple of different sites- blogs mostly that have already done the research for me and can tell me directly to go to such and such store and buy this product using this coupon. I've learned that I have to be completely prepared before I get to the store. Usually I go without the kids and I take a list and just the coupons I'll be using. The receipt shows todays venture. I "bought" two Right Guard deodorants. They each cost $3.99 originally but the store is having a Buy One get One Free promotion=...
