It's the little things (14 of them)

So last week we went to the "Parent Connection Swap Meet" it's exactly what it sounds like. A bunch of "booths" with stuff other kids have grown out of, tired of, etc. We found some great things! A teeter-totter thing, (it's still in the back of my car) some really thick fleece one piece outfits, (in case we go to the snow over the holidays) but the deal of all deals, the thing that I AM STILL GIDDY about, (one week later!!!) I found Pampers -- in our size -- for $.14 a piece. 500 of them!!!! (Actually 490 but who's counting) Now, on sale with a coupon, my best price here in town is something like $.23, I usually have to pay $.26 -- so $.14, $.14, .$14!!!!!! Now to those of you without kids, or without twins this may not seem like a big deal, but do the math. We change our diapers a minimum of 6 times a day. times 2. times 365. times .$26 that's like $1150 before tax (rounded up for the days when we change a wet diaper only to find poop in a clean diaper 30 seconds after getting pants back on a squirming baby, maybe I should round that up to $1500!) No matter how you look at it, it was the best deal in town, if she only had more...after all, that is only about a month's supply. .$14!!!!! I'm still smiling.

We can't wait to see Axel and Outlaw in their new duds. We're slightly over two weeks away from seeing you all, the stress.
