August 7...Day 193

Trying to be more creative, as most of my pictures of Audrey look exactly the same. Here she is playing with a new toy that I found at a garage sale today. It was a good day at garage sales, and Audrey's play room is now starting to look a little fuller!!

August 6...Day 192

Our friends the Lanters have a ball like this and Audrey seemed to like it when we were playing at their house, so I decided to get one for her at Wal-mart tonight. It's about bigger than she is! She thought the ball was the coolest thing ever for about 2 minutes, then she saw the stereo and the door to the entertainment center and took off in that direction, quickly abandoning the big new ball that Mommy got just for her. When will I learn that toys (even cheap balls from Wal-mart) cannot compete with the really cool things in life...like stereos and doors and electrical cords and all the other things that babies are not supposed to play with!

August 5...Day 191

I think it's time for Maggie to get a haircut. Poor dog, it's got to be annoying to always have hair in your eyes.

August 4...Day 190

I didn't know what to take a picture of today. I think it may be time to do another theme for a week for this blog becuase I'm running out of ideas.

For tonight, here's a close up picture of the popcorn I am currently snacking on. I am enjoying being able to relax on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in a quiet house (it wasn't so quiet about an hour ago when my baby girl decided to scream for 35 minutes before going to sleep!).

August 3...Day 189

Audrey was Little Miss Grumpy today. She had some yucky diarrhea this morning and gas all day, so maybe her tummy was hurting her. But grumpy or not, she is still a cutie pie!!!

August 2...Day 188

I love to get good deals, and I found some great deals while grocery shopping today! I really didn't need to buy too much, because we are eating mostly out of the food we already had this week. But I did stock up on a lot of items that we regularly use and bought laundry detergent, and I only spent $30!! I saved about $35 by using coupons and shopping sales, PLUS I got a coupon for $15 off my next purchase! That means I'll be getting some really good deals next week too!! (Notice all the exclamation points in this post...can you tell I'm excited??)

August 1...Day 187

Since this was the Bungard's last day here and I've posted a picture of Ava for the past 2 days, I decided I might as well do one more. The kids had fun playing at the park today, and I had fun taking pictures of them!!
