Trying not to freeze!

Ok, so the differnce this winter from previous ones that I have lived in the Midwest (which is 5 now), is that I actually have to leave the house most days no matter how cold it is! It is so cold here and will be for the next few days! And we have had a lot of snow! A good thing for Ellie, not so much for Shelby. We have school 3 mornings a week, gymnastics one morning and ballet the other! So, before if I didn't feel like going out I stayed in. Now, I have to be a responsible parent and take my child places. And, even though Shelby is walking, quite stable I might add, I still have to carry her through sloppy parking lots and what not! I know...bitch, bitch, moan, moan!!
So, Shelby is quite fussy compared to her sister and much more high maintenance! However, she may be my little superstar! She has gone poopy on the potty. Ok, so I put her there, but she still went and thought it was fun. And she has gone tee tee twice today. The second time, she pointed at her diaper and I asked her if she needed a dry diaper. Usually the answer is No, with a shake of the head! She HATES to have her diaper changed!!! Well, this time she talked to the bathroom and pointed at the potty! Now, all I have to do is teach her to get up there and hold her balance. Maybe we need our "little" potty from our Tecumseh house sooner then we though!

go to my sister's site and click on some of her frugal mom blogs. i printed a ton of coupons off there. one was for $2 off a box of kashi cereal bars!! but i get a lot from the papers and a handful from online. busch's won't take online coupons for some reason so i stock pile those for a meijer trip.

it is snowy and nasty here too!
