The rest of spring break was kind of a blur. I got sick on wednesday, and i'm still sick :(  I went to the dr today and he said he thinks its allergies! So i'm on claritin and afrin for the next week and if it doesn't get better I get to go back..fun times!  Here are the few pictures I had on my phone.
(I just offloaded all the pictures I had on my phone, over 7600 pictures! Holy cow!)
 
No more pictures mom!


 If you want to start couponing, target is a great place to start. You can print store coupons off their website that you can stack with a manufacture coupon to make stuff super cheap. I got these 18 items for $18! I didn't have a very good coupon for the cereal, but the girls really wanted it for st pattys day so we splurged :)
 We decorated for easter and Ella found last years bunny ears from the mall. She dressed in all white and put socks on her hands so she could be a bunny

 Lily wanted a turn too


 Joe shaved Jacks head. He looks SO different, I miss his crazy hair!

 The Library on post had a spring fling. The kids walked around and did little carnival games and earned a prize and a sticker for each one. When they filled their sticker card they got to trade it in for a bounce in the bounce house. The line was way too long though so we skipped that part. We had spent the whole day at the bounce house the day before so the girls were okay with it
 Lilys bean bag didn't land on a fish and Ella was so worried that Lily would not get her prize.
she is such a good big sister :)






 Saturday the girls weaved a basket at the mall craft
 Their friend Bella was there too
 St. Patrick's day was fun. Joe bought green apples and let the kids play bob for apples. We had lucky charms for breakfast. Sandwiches and green jello for lunch. Green pancakes with green coolwhip for dinner. Joe had to go to work so I didn't feel like making anything, and green pancakes were easy :)


 We bought a new freezer at kmart and I had a coupon to earn reward points. So Ella got to pick out new shoes and I got three huge bags of hugs n kisses for free with the points and a coupon!
 We also got a $5 gift card when we bought the freezer, so Lily got to pick out shoes the next day for only $5. They were both SO excited to get high heels
 One of Jacks favorite spots to watch tv

Grandma Lyn sent the kids easter suckers..very very messy easter suckers.
Thanks Grandma!

Day 1 and 2 of Spring Break

Joe is still in WLC so we dont have any big spring break plans. He does get Thursday and Friday off so we are all excited for that!
 Day 2 of spring break!
We spent most of the day playing at zoomerang with friends
Jack lasted 4 hours before he started getting tired and grumpy.
He took his blanket and layed down in this bounce house








 Day 1 of spring break!
Monday is usually my shopping day, and I did not prepare for spring break so we still had to go shopping, all of us :\  It actually went pretty good! Its always hard to shop with kids, even harder with 3, and then add on using coupons and its crazy!
A package from Grandma Lyn also came today. It had some fun singing toothbrushes for all the kids and Jack got some sunglasses. That boy loves his "eyes"
 Silly boy
 Thanks Grandma!


 I had to buy myself a coupon holder to keep me organized..i'm now a crazy couponer :)
We go through a lot of yogurt so I was excited to find some good sales at the commissary, and even better, stack it with a coupon :) 
Reg price $44, spent $21
 $31 reg.  I paid $17. I'm still learning with couponing and I kind of messed up on this one. But I had all three kids with me so I was a little scattered. The shampoo should have been .48 each but I handed her the coupons in the wrong order, making one not work, so they were .97each. Still a good deal and next time i'll remember which order they go in! And the total is a little higher because we were out of bread and I didn't want to go to walmart (which we ended up doing anyway!)
(the blue thing in the back is a picture frame Ella wanted for her class picture)
 Joe made everyone bunny easter baskets like he had as a kid

 after teaching 10 three year olds for 2 hours




 
 This was another really good deal. Reg price for 1 of these eyeliners or mascaras is $7.49
Paid under $5 for all
These were $1.10 each.
I normally pay $5-$7 for my eyeshadow so this was a great deal!
 Lily told me she is a fashion star!
 I dont remeber how much this one was, but the sauce was only .25 each after coupon!

 Being crazy outside

 I dyed my hair, it was getting really gray in the front! I got the color for 2.99, with a coupon of course :) It looked brown on the box, I didn't even read the color name. When it was done it looked pretty red, it was called Egyptian Plum!



 Pretty Lily Lou!
 I'm getting better at doing the twist thing my friend showed me!
