I love a good bargain...

After the gym this morning, the boys & I headed to JcPenney's to look for some "cool Buzz Lightyear light up shoes" (in the words of Connor).  I went armed with my $10 off any $10 purchase.  Of course, they didn't have any.  Connor quickly found himself some new shark flip-flops (that kid has so many pairs of flip flops, it is ridiculous!) and then proceeded to find Dylan a pair (his first pair of flips, he was thrilled!). 

Then I found the boys some more gym shorts (4 pairs) and 3 play t-shirts.  Everything was already on super clearance, plus the $10 off coupon, my total came to $8.00.  Not too shabby for 2 pairs of flip flops, 4 pairs of shorts, and 3 shirts.  And here is the proof...

Savings of $64.54...woohoo!  Now if only I had more of those $10 off coupons, I could go crazy.  LOL.

For all this...

Apparently, it was a little too much excitement for Dylan.  He was wiped out before lunchtime and just slept right there on the floor.  Seriously.

Now, if I could find that great of bargains for myself, I would be one happy Mama!

37.

37.  Yes, 37. 37 was a significant number if you were counting the times we went up the stairs to put Connor back in his bed last night.  For some reason, he has not wanted to stay in his bed to fall asleep, wants us in there to hold his hand, read one more book, sing one more song, chat more about his day, one more drink of water, and the list goes on and on.  And he has been sneaking into our bed again in the middle of the night and is very much interrupting my sleep since he kicks my back and head, or I wake up and he is laying on top of me.  Not fun.  So, we decided to go with the 'Super Nanny' method and it only took about 35 minutes and 37 trips to his room, not saying a word.  I was well prepared for it to take at least an hour and a half.  And I only took him back to his bed twice in the middle of the night.  And that was without a fight.  Let's hope the next few nights go well...

They both sleep SO good in the car.

Sweet Dreams!

Only one thing is better than a sleeping little boy....

TWO sleeping little boys!!!

Yes, now two sleeping boys is the very best!  They are both so sweet, cute, adorable, funny...and full of energy. They are both sleeping well in their own rooms.  Amazing!  Dylan is enjoying his new (non-pink) room and Connor is loving his "Dino Room" (as he calls it) with his new comfy queen-size bed.    Unfortunately, we haven't put any pictures or anything up on the wall in their rooms yet, but they don't seem to mind.

Sleeping boys...

This is what a typical morning looks like :) However, both boys slept through the night last night...YAH! However, we do consider 5am sleeping through the night. Chris was already up when Connor woke up, so he brought him to bed, then a couple minutes later in he walks with Dylan. Dylan will eat and go right back to sleep, but with Connor it is a toss up. This morning, they both slept in our bed until after 6:30am. And in our house, that is considered sleeping in.
