He spends his evenings helping me cut out miniature apples for our calendar in kindergarten. And he does it with a smile on his face.

Oh, yeah...
I remembered two other things I was supposed to tell you. And, yes, it is important that I tell you at 11:59pm.
1. Baby B is totally still sleeping in his pack-n-play next to our bed. The whole let's-try-sleeping-in-the-crib idea was a bust. So, I guess we're officially modified co-sleepers (somethings I was VERY against before I met Baby B, but he charmed me into it). I mean, he's only a this little once. Thus, I can only roll over and look at his precious face for a couple more months before I become a distraction and prevent him from sleeping because I'm staring at him. Plus, it makes his midnight snacking habit much more tolerable since I don't have to trek to the other side of the house to get him. Okay, his room is actually an extension of our room, but still, it is the other side of the house.
2. I kept meaning to update the library book situation, which ended up being a bad situation for me financially. After B sent me this article, I decided I might want to return the stash I was hoarding instead of risking jail time. (They probably don't let you bring your breastpump to jail with you, and that right there would be bad news for everyone involved.) Nevertheless, I paid $24.50 in fines. Oops.

Good Morning!
Wow. I can't believe it's been almost a whole week since I posted last. Shame on me.
The main reason I haven't posted (besides the fact that I am a working mother with a life), is that I cannot for the life of me find the camera. Which means I can only provide you with words and no pictures. Major bummer.
So, here's some random things you need to know...
1. The air conditioner is working. And then it's not. And then it's working again. And then it's not. This is very frustrating. But, today, it's a lovely 68 degrees out currently with a pleasant breeze, so we have the windows open. Love it.
2. Baby B is still recovering from his cold. But he's not near as snuffly as he was a week and a half ago. We also went to his two-month check-up last week. Here are his current stats: 13lb9oz and 24" long - the 90th percentile in both! He's growing like a weed. He also had to get FOUR shots which all but broke my heart. I cried harder than he did.
Oh, and guess what? BABY B ROLLED OVER YESTERDAY! And, it couldn't be a fluke because he did it SIX TIMES!!!! He's so amazing and intelligent and super-dee-duper and terrific and lovely and all the most wonderful adjectives rolled into one diapered little bundle. Sigh. Love him.
3. My handyman husband is accomplishing task after task at our house. The glass front door did go up last weekend (after two straight days of work and the purchase of a $150 saw to help install it!). We owe a HUGE thanks to my father-in-law, Mike, who spent his Labor Day weekend helping us out. Then, B and Matt, our brother-in-law, installed a ceiling fan in Baby B's room and are putting the second one in our room today. Wahoo! And, to top it all off, B fixed the washer. Love my husband. Most of the time, anyway ;)
4. A big congrats to Chels, Matt, and Soph - they're having a BOY! Can you puh-leaaaaase name him Gretzsky? He he he....
5. Another big congrats to new parents, Rachel and Lee, on the birth of their son, Walker! Baby B and Walker will attend UK together in the fall of 2026. Holy Cow. We're very excited for them and cannot wait to meet the new little man. And, Rach, I PROMISE you will eventually receive the gifts that I purchased Walker, ummmmm, before Baby B arrived. Sorry!
Okay, when we locate the camera I will post pics of the new door and of my amazing son. Have a great Saturday!

Guest Postage
I'm guest-posting over at Secret Agent Josephine today! (Click on the link to read my story about adopting our crazy mutt.)If you've ever scrolled through the blogs that I stalk (over on the lefthand side of my blog), you'll notice that Brenda's blog is one I visit. No, I don't know her, I just think she's an entertaining writer with a darling little girl she calls Baby Bug who is equally as entertaining. Brenda's on a blogging hiatus until September 15th and was looking for guest-posters, so I offered a story about Leland.
Thanks, Secret Agent Josephine! I'm so excited to have made your blog!
I Heart CVS!
So, I've recently become a coupon-er. Like, pretty much obsessed. And when you combine couponing with CVSing, it pretty much results in a spending high like no other. Why, you ask? Because this weekend, I was PAID by CVS to shop at their store. This is not a joke. Check out the picture below:
Now, included in above picture are four items purchased at Walgreens, but they basically paid me to shop at their store too (I spent $3.80 on $40 worth of makeup.)
What you are looking at is $151.53 worth of goodies that I paid $5.22 for! And, it's all name brand stuff, too!
!!!!!!!
When the cashier was ringing me up at CVS, she was like: "Ummmm, you're in the negative. Like, we OWE YOU money. You're going to have to go pick up something else." FOR REAL?!
Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit.
And, I transferred a prescription to CVS which resulted in a bonus for me - a FREE $25 giftcard! AND, $25 in Extra Care Bucks that I can use LIKE CASH next time I shop. Awesome.
Take that, Economy.
