Four Little Green Thumbs
>> Saturday, April 24, 2010
We decided to buy a raised planter instead of building one. They were pretty cheap so we got a 4' x 4' to start off with that way we are not biting off more than we could chew at one time.
Mia and Blayke were so excited about transplating their plants, mommies herbs never grew (must have been bad seeds)

Grocery Buy of the week - SAVED #137.26
We have just been buying filler items lately since we are pretty well stocked with groceries. However, Harris Teeter had some pretty good items on sale this week so I could not resist. They have this Express Lane online shopping service, you can order your groceries online and your shopping will be done for you. You just designate the time you want to pick up your groceries and they’ll be ready! No hassle, no waiting, no need to get out of your car - all for a low service fee of only $4.95 per trip. I save way more than $4.95 with coupons so I figured it should pay for itself and it did. It was way cool!
I put the order in at 10:30 AM and they called me at 1:20 PM to tell me the order was ready. They put it in a refrigerated area until you come to pick it up. I drove into the Express Lane on may way home to get the kids and was in and out within 8 Minutes by the time they brought it out, loaded up and paid. WAY COOL- Drive through grocery shopping who would of thunk it!
Bought several items of which were 10 jars of spagetti sauce and alfredo sauce, 6 boxes of cereal, 6 lbs of shrimp, 3 lbs of Salmon, 2 Beef Tenderloins, 4 lbs of strawberries, 3 pks of Rice, 2 boxes of popsicles, 10 Boxes of spagetti and pasta, and way more other stuff....all for the lovely price of $62.39 and best yet didn't have to get out of the car. I am sooooo doing that next week when there is Triple Coupons to be had.
Treasure Hunt #10 with some added fun

Quick Hunt On The Way Home
And the Diagnosis Is.....
>> Friday, April 16, 2010
We have all been in and out of the Doctor's/Urgent Care Offices for the past two weeks so we really haven't had a lot to blog about ....I figured we would catch everyone up on our ailments....
Guy - Had Strep Throat which dropped his immunity, he developed a rash which we later found out was Shingles.
Nelda - Tore a contact in her right eye, thought she had pink eye, lost her glasses & the dog ate her last set of contacts, went to see the eye doctor who informed her that she needed new glasses and contacts (her vision has worsened) and had to get her right eye checked because there appears to have been some nerve damage caused by something or another. Then she had to go to Urgent Care because she woke up really dizzy on Monday and could not stand on her own- turned out to be a bad case of Vertigo.
Mia - Started developing a cough on Monday...apparently it has moved into her chest....we had to take her to Urgent Care last night since she was crying and saying that everytime she coughed it felt like someone was piking her chest. She has a Bronchial Infection she is now being treated for.
I think we have covered enough sickness in our house to last us the rest of the year......germ bugs, diseases and the likes PLEASE STAY AWAY! Read more...
Treasure Hunt #8
>> Saturday, April 10, 2010
We went to visit Nana and Pop since they were not feeling to good. The kids really missed them while they were gone. On our way back home we decided to do a little treasure hunting. We found one at a local CVS parking lot. It was a quick park and grab and had just a log in it. Then we went on a few real hunts.
