Man where has this day gone!!  We have been very busy!   Last night hubby came home and wanted debate a current event….argh..  we were up really late. Oh well….   I still managed to get up fairly early this morning.  I had to make my shopping list in the AM and was showered and at ALDI by 9:15 or so.    I did pretty good on my budget only spend 76.68 on groeries for the week.   Not too bad.   I wish our budget was so that we could shop every two weeks.  But we also eat so much fresh produce so that wouldn’t last for two weeks I don’t think.   After Aldi I went to Cub Foods and bought a couple of sale items and my pop for the week.   

Then I came home and put everything away and we went to buy Tommy somenew shoes.  He was getting a blister on his big toe from his old ones.  Unfortunately the ones on clearance at Kohls for 7.10 were all gone.  Bummer…I saw them last week, but didn’t know what size he needed.  So we went to target and he picked out Scooby Doo shoes, which were 12.99.    Then we went to Sam’s Club for crossiants and I picked up a new bathing suit for my Duluth trip next weekend.   Then our weekly library run.  When we pulled into the library parking lot, Amy and Josh were there.   They were waiting for Amy’s mom to pick her up.  

Then home for a quick bit to eat and off to the CIRCUS!!   Tommy really enjoyed the circus.   Our seats were pretty good!   Tommy got one little light up toy and was very happy with that.  When I bought Tommy the toy I said ” this is your treat!” and he looks at me, turns the toy upside down and says “you mean there is candy in here??”   I guess the word treat does normally mean a piece of candy to him.   lOL!!    I had brought alone crakcers, juice and water in his backpack so he had plenty to snack on. I had cotton candy…YUMMY! And hubby had some popcorn.  So we had lot of treats and a great time.   I had budgeted $25.00 and we only spent $14.00.  

We stopped at a Thrift store on the way home and I found a couple of things.  Tommy wasn’t in the mood for shopping.   We came home and grabbed a coupon hubby had to rent a movie.   I can’t even recall what we rented now…..hmmm….

We had a late supper, we are actually just finishing up with it now.   We had Garlic Herb chicken breasts on my new family size Foreman grill and Garbanzo Bean Salad.   Hubby said to write by the recipe for the salad it is like “eating at a restraurant”.   Hmm….might be like that but he didn’t leave me a tip.  I guess that just means he liked it.   I have a number of recipes from this week to type up and post.   I will try to get to that this weekend yet.    I am ready to go to bed now!!  I think I will go relax for a bit!  Hope everyone had a great day!!
