Weekend Fun

We had quite a busy weekend. Saturday the boys finished their trains at Lowe's. We've gone to the Build and Grow workshops the past three Saturdays. These workshops are awesome and free! Here is Jared posing with his finished product.


Also borrowed my MIL's bread maker and made my first loaf of bread this weekend. It was tasty! Jeff doesn't think it will be much of a money saver.



Sunday we went to the Christmas Traditions Festival in historic St. Charles. We met lots of historical characters and the boys got a trading card from each one. The characters paraded down Main Street and then did a skit.


After the parade, we traveled to see Jeff play his last hockey of the year at the Rec Plex. We ended our busy weekend with the Scouts. Christmas caroling and hot chocolate!

Restart

Hello! Anybody out there? Over a year without a post, I am seriously fail. Had some changes the last two months. After working for 13 years, I am now officially a stay at home mom. A bit scary for me but will seriously help the family and my stress level. It has been very nice.

As a result of a reduced income I've started couponing and following several coupon blogs. I am trying to figure out the "deals". If you have any good info, let me know!

This month the boys have gotten into building with wood! We have attended the Lowe's Build and Grow workshops on Saturday mornings. This Saturday they will complete a 3 car wooden train.

Well, I'd better get back to my Christmas present wrapping. Only one week until St. Nick!
