This weekend, we’ve gone to Babies R Us 4 times (between Friday night and Saturday). Last week, I bought a bunch of coupons on eBay for 20% off one item. It cost me $10 to buy them and we’ve probably saved $100 with them already this weekend (and still have this week and next to use the rest).
So not only are Jack and Milo displeased that we are gone for long periods of time, they’re unhappy that they don’t get to play with the things we bring home. Our compromise is that they get to play with all the boxes and packing material. With packages coming what feels like daily from UPS and FedEx, there are plenty of boxes!
When we came home from work on Friday, we had a picture waiting for us – it’s a sketch of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet (I think it cost us something like $8). That night, we stopped at AC Moore and got a picture frame and matting for the picture. We haven’t hung it up yet because we’re waiting (hopefully on Monday) for picture frames to put over the two cribs. Once those are here, we’ll measure everything out on the walls and get them hung up.
We got the infant carrier car seats last night while we were out at the store. We also got two Baby Books (where you fill in information about the baby). Earlier tonight, we started filling in the pregnancy sections and the sections on our families.
We’ve received many thoughtful cards and kind wishes over the last few months – thank you! We’ve also really appreciated the gifts people have given us (from checks to help with purchasing things, outfits for the babies, coupons to help us save money, or thoughtful treats for Bethany and I) – we can’t say how appreciative we are!
Here are some new pictures:
(Quick insert – and forgive me if we’ve posted this already – we were given a new lens for our camera and a nice flash at Christmas. The two combined make for great (we think so at least) pictures indoors and in low light. We’ve enjoyed using them and are excited and very thankful to have them for the babies!)
We found this mobile in the back corner of Babies R Us in the Clearance section – it was an item the store doesn’t usually carry and was 50% off!
Here are the two infant carriers:
