We made another trip to Target yesterday!  We picked up two Milky Way bars with a $.75 off coupon.  I also picked up another cami--originally $8 and on sale for $5, it cost me $2 with a $3 off coupon.  The boys each got a pack of gum--I had a buy one, get one free coupon and the peach mango variety was on clearance.  We also picked up another trial-sized tube of Aquafresh, which was free (plus some overage) after a $1 off coupon--we gave it to the Soldiers' Hospitality House.

While the boys attended the chapel youth group, I went to a "Peace of Mind" workshop at the Soldiers' Hospitality House.  Elizabeth covered 72-hour emergency kits to keep in the event of a natural disaster or anything else that might stall normal life (like having to evacuate) for up to 72 hours.  It was interesting, considering that my family is prepared for a major crisis, but that I haven't given much thought to a shorter event.

Alan made dinner last night (potato parmesan soup) and picked up the boys while I was at the workshop.  Youth group ran late and Alan said everyone seemed enthralled (okay, not his exact words) during the extra half hour--they discussed the Aurora tragedy and how it is part of God's plan--so I had enough time for a quick run when I returned home.

We also celebrated C's "other" birthday--since he won't be celebrating his actual birthday in Texas with us, we gave him a cookie cake (and he had a burger from Five Guys for dinner) and some gifts last night.  Gifts are his secondary love language, and Alan and I are trying to learn to speak it better.

couponing--new camis, pens and toothpaste

Thanks to coupons and sales at Target, we purchased two trial-sized tubes of Aquafresh, two tubes of Aquafresh Kids (one isn't pictured because we gave it away), two Mossimo camisoles and two packs of PaperMate pens for $1.92!

Target currently has coupons for:

$1 off 4.3-oz or larger Aquafresh toothpaste

$1 off PaperMate writing instrument

$3 off Women's Mossimo apparel item

Mossimo tank tops are on sale for $5 (originally $8), so the coupons brought the price to $2.

A 10-pack of PaperMate pens is $1, so they were free when we used coupons!

The Aquafresh Fresh 'N Fruity toothpaste is $1.87 (and it's 4.6 oz.), but the Aquafresh website has a $1 off coupon, and because we paired it with the Any Aquafresh Extreme Clean coupon on a trial-sized tube of Aquafresh ($.97), the toothpaste cost less than $1 and the trial-sized tubes were free!
