Dresser redo, 5k, couponing, and other day to day stuff

 Shopping at target makes everyone tired! Pretty sure Lily was faking


 I love/hate coupons. I really like getting a good deal, but I hate the hassle of coupons. At the commissary some of the checkers look at EVERY coupon before they start checking out your items..anyway Ella and I made a quick trip to the commissary. Its always fun to see the total and then the total after all coupons. This was just over $112, yikes! food is spendy!! After coupons it came out to just under $50, I was pretty excited! Its hard to see everything but there are 12 boxes of gogurts, 2 boxes glad baggies, 2 boxes hefty slider bags, 3 filtered britta bottles, 3 boxes of tissues, 6 boxes of applesauce, 4 packs of cheese, 4 boxes of fried rice, 2 bags of trail mix, bag of donuts, two candy bars, loreal advanced shampoo and conditioner, and there were 2 boxes of snickers ice cream bars I already put away.
Yes its weird I take a picture, but there is a group on facebook ( look up savealotmom ) that you post your deals to so everyone can go get the same good deal you got :)  And for every picture you post, you are entered into a drawing to win a prize.
 Sleepy Jack
 Back to school bingo put on by the USO! She got a backpack with a few things in it for school
 We got a coupon code for a $10 gift card to Dicks (one per phone) so the girls got a new fishing pole for $2each!
 We stopped at the mall on the way to Dicks to get our free lotion :)








 Every project I have started lately has turned out to be WAY more work then it should have been :(  I thought this dresser would sand down quick and easy so I could start painting..nope, I had to chip off all the paint! And then parts wouldn't chip off or sand off, so I ended up having to paint over it anyway! And both times I have started a painting project this month it has started to rain!
 Started raining and I ran out of paint
 All that rain made some nice mud for Lily :)
 New running outfits

 Finished with my part, Joe was assigned handles ;)
 Did a little couponing when I went to get more paint..walmart paid me $1 and some change to take all these
 Hood Hotter than Hades 5k this morning!
I got one of my worst times ever. I told Joe I think army 5ks must be longer than regular ones..he said I probably just ran slow! haha he's probably right :) It was my first time running outside since I ran the last army 5k at 11 weeks pregnant with Jack! I'm pretty sure I prefer running on the treadmill, much easier to keep a nice pace



 Ella and Lily did awesome! Ella ran/walked the whole way! Lily took a ride in the stroller with Jack but ran/walked a bunch too. After I finished running I walked back and ran to the finish with my friend, Dana. And then we both walked back and I ran the finish with the kids and Joe. I was running with Ella and when everyone was cheering for her, she took off and ran super fast to the end!

 The finished tool box dresser! 
I think it turned out super cool! I have some fun plans for his other dresser too
 5ks and dresser redos are very tiring ;)
