Weekend Fun

We started our weekend with a trip to Emo's for some yummy ice cream before heading over to the lightening bug show at the nature center. We got there about 15 minutes late and missed the PowerPoint in the beginning. Did you know that lightening bugs are actually called lightening beetles- something we missed in the PowerPoint, but some friends caught us up on the correct lingo! After the presentation we went outside for a walk on the trails in the dark, it was really neat! Our guide tried calling for the owls, but they ignored us and wouldn't hoot back. The prairie was about a 5 minute walk up the trail and was filled with lightening beetles. Did you know that the females just hang out in the grass and the males fly around flashing for the females (hahaha, that was funny!) Luke had a wonderful time and Emily slept in her sling the whole time-I think she will participate more next year ;0)
Saturday afternoon we bought Luke a baseball glove since he has wanted one for a long time! He and Mick spent the rest of the evening playing ball outside and I must say that Little Luke is pretty good! Luke was pretty excited that he found a glove with Lightening McQueen on it and it even came with a matching ball!
Mick had a wonderful Father's Day on Sunday, which consisted of more baseball and pretty cool shirt made for Mick by his 2 darling children! I will post a picture of it soon! Marty even made a comment about it in the middle of church while he was speaking!
Now onto more exciting things (at least for the money conscious consumer!) CVS was pretty slow this week for good deals, but I was able to find a few! I bought what you see pictured (2 family size bottles of shampoo, 2 electric toothbrushes, and a bottle of Tylenol). My total before coupons and deals was $29 something and afterwards it was down to $1.00-yes that is right- a buck! It would have been less (free) but my gift card would not scan for the cashier so I had to use actual cash ;0( Oh well- At least I left with another $10.00 in Extra Care Bucks and I can use my gift card next time! I am really starting to stockpile a lot of items and am planning on using some of the toothbrushes and soaps and stuff this Christmas in the shoebox gifts that we put together for Operation Christmas Child.
