Have I ever mentioned how much I love Freebies? Example this week.
Day 1- some kind of meal replacement bar
Day 2- eye cream sample
Day 3- woman body wash
Day 4- four free magazines
Day 5- men's Dove body wash & Nestle's mexican hot chocolate packet
Past Freebies include:
a FULL SIZED bottle of Aveda's calming lotion, energy shot, sleeping pills (these came rolling around in a empty envelope I instantly threw them away), more Nestle hot chocolate, 2 packages of 3 sets of Pampers, Frederik Fekkia glossing cream sample (dying to buy this), magazines, Kashi bar, meal replacement bar, honey nut cheerios, 3D teeth whiting strips, coupons, and I can't remember the others.
Jump on the band wagon you know you want to. I'm not very good at couponing but I'm amazing at scoring FREE stuff.
Mostly I watch fatwallet.com, freebies2deals.com, hip2save.com to score all my daily freebies. This week was just ridiculous.

What we've been up to...
Eating chicken nuggets with honey bbq sauce while playing with friend Liz. Jon was good at helping babysit.
Playing outside during the warmer weather hoping to not get this sticky sap stuff all over our clothes. The sticky stuff is around the sand box which happens to be the facilitie's drain, yuck.
Eating crepes with fresh strawberries, but mostly just eating the whipped cream on top.
Dumping plates of food for absolutely no reason onto the kitchen table or floor, mom loves that.
Being adventurous and making recipes from online, feast your eyes upon Zuppa Toscana "figure friendly version" well as freindly as sausage and bacon can be.
Easter morning, I tried and tried to get Maddie to smile. Who is this kid and what has she done with my happy little baby?
Maybe she was more interested in her sandbucket "basket" instead of mom that morning.
Jon blew her bubble wand that morning and she was totally disgusted by the bubbles and did not want them to land on her. So funny and....girly.
Saturday was spent in Sandy where Jon's first power lifting meet was held. It was a LONG night but very exciting. Maddie had it the roughest, she was tired, sick, and wanted to go home. You can see their extreme sound system in the back ground. Probably too loud for babies.
It was an interesting experience they held the meet in a conference room in the dark and in the front of the room their was spot lights and a platform where all the lifts were performed. Jon did bench, squat, and finally deadlift.
Blurry sorry, my camera is not very good. One day one day. But you get the general idea and this is not heavy weight for Jon. These were his "token" lifts. The big lift was the deadlift and to my dismay I did not get a picture because I was too busy yelling and cheering. Jon deadlifted 425lbs to break a state record. He missed the next lift, out of frusteration he went to practice in the back and picked up 495lbs more than the lifts he missed. The crew was proud of him though, especially to break a state record his first meet.
Dinner we had Easter Sunday, I made creamy spinach fettucine and grilled chicken. The fettucine is a Rachael Ray special, it turned out ok. I had to improvise and used fat free half & half instead of whipping cream.
Did I mention we got tickets to conference? We were as gitty as school girls and couldn't believe how close we were to the pulpit. No kidding we were about 25-30 rows from the pulpit. If you know how big the conference center is you know we had primo seats.
Looking back, 10 years ago I and Jon were sitting on the top balcony in that area. We were not sitting next to each other back then though, even though I had a big crush on him. 
Looking straight back, I'm sure those people were wondering why I was snapping a picture of them.
A nice man took this picture for us, he also called to us to let us know they had two open seats next to them. I love when people are curtious. Not a good picture of me, good one of Jon though do you like his tan makes me look extra pastey?

April Fools
Happy Late April Fools! That doesn't make any sense I know. I just wanted to jot my little trick down. I didn't think I'd do anything all day, but then I read a blog which reminded me of a really good trick I wanted to pull on Jon. I waited all day until we were watching Scrubs and I turned off the lights since it was late at night anyway. I excused myself from the room to fetch some black tiny rubberbands out of my bathroom. I then went to the sink and wrapped them around our kitchen spray hose. So that the nosel was pushed down, then aimed it straight forward and walked away. The rest of the right I kept saying, "Jon I need a quick drink to take my sleeping pill". I was sitting on our bed when I said this. He said "get your own drink." Dang, he wasn't buying this act. So to make it more dramatic I threw my head down on the pillow and said, "But I'm so tired". Please just go get me a really quick little drink just out of the sink. He said, "Fine but you owe me". So I laid in bed waiting, waiting, hiding under my covers. I looked up and he said you're so dead. I saw the front of his shirt, soaked. He started to pour a glass of water on my head or the blankets away. He was so mad. He said I betrayed him. I laughed so hard until I fell asleep.
