Saturday is a Special Day....

... It's the day we get ready for Sunday!

Our Saturday wasn't anything particularly special, but it was fun nonetheless. We slept in until 10:00!! Can you believe it? What baby has ever slept in that long? Certainly not ours.... but on this day he did. Lucky us!

Here is Quincy lounging around reading his books.

And of course hamming it up for the camera...

He thinks he's pretty funny.

After we all had a chance to get eat, and get dressed for the day we headed out.
Quincy cleans up pretty nice huh? This was pretty much the most decent picture I could get of him... sometimes he loves to smile for the camera.... at this point he was all done posing.
And we can't leave the house without mom's purse/ diaper bag..... Obviously Quincy knew this, which is why he's getting into it, eerrrrr.... I mean.... making sure mom doesn't forget it. :o)

Quincy, what are you doing?
Nothing mom, just looking for snacks!

Our first stop:

The library.
Who ever knew the library could be so much fun. I used to dread going there and always tried to make my trips as quick as possible. Not anymore! Now we spend at least three days a week there... they have lots of things to do. Mom can read magazines, Dad can study for exams, Mom can check her Email, Dad can read the newspaper online, Quincy can read new books that he's never read before, and he can play with new toys-- which might I add, are probably covered in germs-- but the best part about going to library.... is that we can check out movies for FREE!
I know this sounds lame, but seriously it's SSSSSOOOO worth it. Especially if you don't have the money to rent movies every week, like we don't. Sure, you don't get a selection of new releases.... sometimes you're lucky if you find movies from 2008, but you get any DVD for a week! Please, tell me how many movie rentals places let you have recent movies for a week long for FREE????! None, which is why we love the library. In fact, I just borrowed 5 movies, which I'll keep for this entire week long and not one of them is older than 2 years. Pretty sweet huh? Bet you never thought the library was cool either? This has really helped out in our budget, or lack there of, for entertainment...... now if only the library had new clothes and food you could borrow, okay, maybe the food was a bad idea. You know what I mean. :o)
Our next stop, which I tired to find a picture of-- but couldn't, was Other Mothers. Quincy is once again growing out of his clothes. Another great place to save money. We took in his old clothes, got store credit for them, and brought home some new clothes. I love this store. Everything is clean and good quality clothing for next to nothing, or in our case really nothing because we pay with credit. If you have one near you.... check it out. It'll be worth you're time, especially if you're thinking what am I going to do with all this baby stuff and no more babies?
Our last stop of the day was:
We love shopping at Winco. The store always has the lowest prices and, for the most part, the checkers aren't as stupid as Walmart cashiers.... sorry if you're a Walmart Cashier. You're probably not that stupid. :o) We stocked up our cupboards, for at least a week or two since Tyler had to go out of town. I'm sure I've told you this before but I love full cupboards, there are few feelings as great as that one!
That's it................................
Now you've heard about our boring life, and some of our money saving tips.
