Ladies' Banquet


Here's a picture of two of my girls and me at our church's ladies' banquet this afternoon. It was an ark theme, with a beautiful lighted rainbow above the platform. I guess that makes me Joan of Ark.

Susanna made her dress, and it looked lovely. She is quite the seamstress. We were amongst friends and had a nice time. Two of my daughters are not home, and it did seem strange to only have 3 of us in the picture. They were sorely missed by me.

Drugstore Drop-In



Walgreens has been having some tremendous register rewards items. Here is a total of what I purchased there for $43.08 (that's a lot more than I thought it would be, but the numbers don't lie). Oh--the above picture shows some of the $42.50 in register rewards in my coupon wallet. That means *in a sense* I only paid 58 cents for these items because they gave me back $42.50 to spend later...

Hershey bagged malted milk eggs x 3
Nestle Crunch eggs x 2
Edge shaving cream x 2
Chapstick lip butter x 4
Skintimate shave cream x 3
Visine x 4
Fiber choice 10 count x 1
Scunci elastic hair bands x 3
Vaseline lotion x 6
Breyers ice cream quarts x 2
Whoppers eggs x 3
Dove deoderant x 12
Beanie baby stuffed monkeys x 2
Reach toothbrush x 2
Colgate Total toothpaste x 1
Easter pencils x 2
Chex mix x 1

That's a lot of merchandise for just over 50 cents.
My husband and 3 of the kiddos are gone for a few days. I've been staying up way too late to ensure I go right to sleep (I don't sleep well with my hubby gone), and it has caught up to me tonight. Off to bed with me!

Easter Finery

Here is a picture I took of my four girls after church tonight. Aren't they lovely? I love their smiles. All so pretty.

Hope your Easter Sunday was one of peace, worship, and rejoicing. God is so good.
