Last Lazy Weekend

Weekending


Well this was the last weekend before football starts up again. Which means cheer leading for me. Every Saturday for the next 2 plus months. Do I sound excited? I am a turrible cheer Mom. I don't join in the reindeer games with the other Moms and cheer leading is not my life. I mean I socialize and they all like me but I kinda think the whole thing is a bit much. I pretty much go to the ball field to scope out the single Dad possibilities. What?? I mean aside from watching my beautiful girl do her thing it's the next best part of youth sports! We did have team pics this past weekend and I couldn't resist snapping a quick one of my little blue-eyed princess!



Since we didn't have to do anything special this weekend we didn't. We grilled out, the kids ran wild in the neighborhood, rode bikes, swam. I rekindled my love affair with the Dollar Tree because I have decided to make a much more concerted effort to save money. I got so excited over my haul I forgot to take a picture of my basket full of stuff that ended up costing me $17.95. I did good and I was proud of myself. The kids love that place too cause we  always get extra treats there,  I can't say no to something that costs a dollar. I got laundry detergent for a dollar. I also got indoor flood lights for a dollar to replace the 2 that have been burned out in my kitchen for weeks. Those things are $7.99 at Wal-mart. I had to draw the line at anything beauty related though, I just couldn't do it. What's your favorite dollar store score?


And guess what else??? It's still August, at least last I checked, but none the less Fall is in full force in the beer industry. Fall/Pumpkin/Harvest variety beers are everywhere. Kroger even has giant ceramic pumpkins out front! I am going to try to hold off until September but I do love me some Octoberfest... so we'll see.
So that was that for me and my babes last weekend. I have a little girls lake day and night planned for this Saturday and I can't wait. Hope everyone has a great week!


Linking up with Biana and Meghan aagain!

  2. I also love the dollar store! I had russell stover caramels last week and they were delicious, hopefully those red velvet candies are the same. I love when they have decor that is actually cute and doesn't look too cheap.
