Gymnastics =)

Last night Emma had her last class of gymnastics before the next session starts up.  She is currently in the Novice class, which is level 2.  The only way the kids can move onto the Intermediate level, which is level 3, is for them to have everything checked off on their Skills Sheet.  She was a little nervous yesterday afternoon before going.  She wanted to get into the Intermediate level.  So here are some pictures from yesterdays class =)

 

 

 

 

I think she looks so cute with her hair pulled up into a messy bun =) 

 

 

I have such a hard time getting good photos inside the gym at gymnastics.  So these quality on these photos is pretty crappy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't catch her complete hand stand!  I only caught her flipping back over! haha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After they were done with the class the coaches met with them for a minute and then handed them their skills sheet.  Emma was nervous to open hers.

 

 

 

 

Can you see what the bottom left says?  Please sign up for Intermediate next session!!!  She was sooooooo excited!  She may have high fived me a few times =) 

 

She has a week off before starting up the next session, so next week I signed her up for a private lesson.  I think she's going to love it. 

She made me smile on the way home from gymnastics last night.  We had previously tried Soccer twice & ballet and she disliked both very much.  So on the way home, she was sitting in the backseat and was telling me how much she just loves gymnastics.  Totally made me smile =)  We're excited for the next session to start back up in a week =)

Confession

Hello.  My name is Johannah.  And I am a couponaholic.  haha  No, not really...but I have been couponing twice in the last 2 days.  I had a ton of coupons that were ready to expire, so I had to use them up!  Quite a few people have asked how the couponing is done, so i'm going to try and explain a little of it.  I'm sorry if anyone of you find this post "boring"  haha

All my couponing has been strictly done at Target & The Dollar Tree.  They are the only 2 stores that I understand the couponing process, so that's why I stick with them.  This morning I went to Target.  and this is what I got. 

 

 

This came to around $77.00 for all this.  After coupons I paid $8.36.  Crazy right!!  I'll break it down for you.  Starting with the 4 bottles of method cleaning spray in the middle.

A bottle of Method Cleaning Spray is $2.99

You can buy a limit of 4 using coupons.  There is a sale going on at Target for buy 3 Method Sprays Get 1 Free.  So I used 4 manufacturer coupons for $1.00 off any Method item.  I then stacked that with 3 Target coupons for $1.00 off any Method item.  That makes it $1.97 for all 4 bottles of Method spray! 

 

With the Herbal Essence, I have coupons for Buy 1 Shampoo Get 1 Conditioner free.  And you can use a limit of 4 of those coupons at once. 

 

The Beggin dog strips were $2.97.  I had a manufacturers coupon from the weekend paper for Buy 1 Get 1 Free.  Plus a target coupon for 75 cents off.  So I stacked those together as well! 

 

I'm not sure if this makes sense to anyone or if it's even helpful for people who have wanted to learn how to do this.  But I gave it a shot explaining! haha 

If you  have questions, please ask and i'll try my best to answer! =)

Day off Thursday =)

It's 8pm and i'm still awake! haha  As I said in my last post, I wasn't going to be getting much sleep today...and I really didn't.  I woke up at 6:30 and went and picked Emma up, got her ready for school and then dropped her off at school.  I went out shopping with a couple of friends and we went and did a little "couponing" =)  I tell you, it's pretty fun when you see your total come to $62.00, give them your coupons and it goes down to $15.00 =)  So here's what I got today.

 

 

I think I did pretty good!!!  Most everything came from Target, expect the 2 colgates and the 2 bottles of LA Looks hair gel. 

So at Target I got:

 

4 Bottles of Herbal Essence Shampoo

4 Bottles of Herbal Essence Conditioner

2 Bottles of Method cleaning spray

2 Bottles of Pledge multisurface spray

2 Bottles of All laundry Detergent

2 Bottles of ACT mouthwash

1`package of Schick razers

That all came to $62 and I only paid $15

 

I then went to the Dollar Tree.  I had 2 coupons for colgate toothpaste and 2 coupons for the LA Looks hair gel.  I got the counter and paid 20 cents for everything =)  The clerk laughed when she saw the price.  It's fun.  And if you don't coupon you definately should.  I'm still learning, but i'm loving it so far!! 

 

I ended up getting home around 11:30, and I was dead tired.  I went and layed down and fell asleep until 1:45, then it was time to go and get Emma.  We came home and Brian had to leave for work shortly after, so we went out to supper together before he left.  Yeah, we ate supper at 3:30 today =)  We just ended up at Taco Bell/KFC.  I had the new Cantina Salad.  If you all have it near you, try it.  It was really good and super fresh tasting =) 

Emma just made pumpkin chip cookies for her class tomorrow.  She did it all by herself too!  I put all the ingredients out for her and told her how much to measure, and she did it!  I think she was pretty proud of herself =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She had a lot of fun making them =)

Tomorrow if Friday and we find out what level Emma goes into for gymnastics =)  She's pretty excited about it!!

 

This evening after we left the grocery store we were going across a bridge and I was reminded why fall in Maine is my favorite time of the year.  It's so beautiful this time of the year.

 

 

 

 

Soon this will all be snow covered...not looking forward to that at all. 

 

Have a good evening all =)

Yup...it's 3am...

Yes, that's right it's 3am.  I got out of work at 2am, and it takes me about 20-25 minutes to get home.  And now i'm sitting here writing.  I have to be up at 6:45 to get Emma from my in laws house and get her ready for school...and then bring her to school.  Usually after that I would come right home and go back to bed for a few hours, but not today.  I'm heading out to go shopping with a couple of friends at 8:30 am.  Can you say crazy?!? haha  I do know one thing.  My very first stop after dropping Emma off at school will be Starbucks!!!!

It's only Thursday and it's been a long week so far.  My work week felt like days off were never in sight.  I'm on 2 days off, and go back Saturday evening.  My schedule is so weird.  I get very frustrated with it at times.  On Monday we were given 5 new schedules to look at, and all the employees get to vote on them.  I'm hoping and hoping that I will be going to a day shift.  The one I really want is 5am to 3pm.  It would be perfect because I would be out of work every day around the same time Emma would be getting home....and my inlaws wouldn't have to keep her at night much anymore!  That's a really big thing for me right now.  She is 6 years old now, and I think it's important that I work my schedule around as much as possible for her to stay at home every night.  It's very difficult when both parents work nights.  Anyway, enough of my complaining about this!!  =)

In 2 weeks Emma will be starting her 4th round of gymnastics!!!  We don't find out until Friday which level she will be in.  She's pretty excited =) 

So I only have one picture today.  Back almost 3 years ago now I bought Emma her very first Matilda Jane dress.  The dress has been worn a ton of times and still looks brand new.  I tried it on her yesterday morning before school and was soooooo excited that it still fits =)  This is one of my favorite dresses she has ever had.  So of course she had to wear it =)

Have a great morning every one =)
