Good morning everyone, I'm back after a busy and fun week. My parents stayed with us for a week and everyday they were here, my siblings or my children or my grandchildren were all here too in different combinations. I think we all enjoyed visiting and seeing the sweet little ones.
Some delicious and much appreciated home grown vegetables from my brother.
JJ helping my mom and dad make a Rhubarb pie. He had so much fun helping put the ingredients in the pie shell and my parents really enjoyed the rare treat of Rhubarb pie.
Needless to say, I did not do all my regular cleaning last week so today I'm doing a lot of catch up. We did part of it yesterday and I've already got quite a bit done this morning so it won't be too hard to have a clean, orderly home again.
I took this photo last night and have already checked off several.
No Spend July is not No spending at all but spending as little as necessary. After paying our yearly home insurance, bi-yearly vehicle insurance, baby gifts, upgrading our child car seats and many Spring birthdays, our bank accounts could use a boost. So husband and I both agreed that July will be very limited spending.
CVS this week - I used lots of ExtraCare bucks from previous weeks and rewards so my out of pocket cost was very low.
The Charmin was $9.99 with a $10 ExtraCare reward for buying $30. I had .75 coupons on each pack too. Their are quite a few other Proctor & Gamble products on this deal.
Propel water was $1.25 with a $1.25 ECB reward
The 2 Gatorades were $2.00 with a $2.00 ECB reward.
After coupons and $30 ECBs, my OOP was .97 and I got back $13.25
A few scenes from this week
No, they are not all on their cell phones. The adults are working on the Transformer toys that I got at a yard sale a few weeks ago. If you look close in the lower left corner, Gavin has about 5 of transformers that are back in their original state.
My daughter had a deal she wanted to do on a Thrity One Gifts diaper bag. She needed another purchase to get a lower price so I ordered this very large tote- it's big enough to hold 2 2 year olds!
All 6 grands! And Grand baby #7 will be here any day.

This week looks be a bit slower than last week. For now, I'm off to get housework done.
