What a Great Week!!!

We had a wonderful week around the Mazingo house thanks to Snow Days on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The only problem is we have now used all our built in days and must make up any more that we miss and it is only the end of January. The snow days were nice to be able to spend extra time with Emma. We spent the first snow day being really lazy. Actually all three of us took a 3 hour nap! The best part of these snow days were that we knew we didn't have school the night before. The other two days were a bit more productive. I took care of some stuff around the house and Jason worked on some stuff for student teaching.
Friday night Emma and I stayed at my parents house so Jason could get a nice night of sleep for his test Saturday morning. On Saturday Emma stayed with Pop Pop and Mom and I headed to C-Ville to do some shopping. I had Toys R Us Rewards money I had earned from Christmas so I cashed in on a gift for Cloey. They had all their clearance clothes marked down an additional 40% off. I was able to get Emma a ton of stuff for next Fall/Winter and a few things for now for great prices. We then headed to Sam's to pick up a big girl carseat for Emma. She still needs to be rear facing, but the carrier is getting heavy and awkward when we are out and about. We got a great deal on the one we had our eye on and had researched. She has to rear face until one year and 20 pounds, but with Emma it will probably be past a year because the 20 pounds might be hard to hit. The new seat takes up a bit more room, but she seems to like that she can see more out the window. We finished up at Old Navy where they had clearance items marked an additional 30% off. I got some great deals - one shirt ended up being 67 cents. We then headed back to Mom and Dad's neck of the woods and hit up K-Mart(again a bunch of great clearance deals) and the Cheap Grocery Store - my favorite store. It was then time to head home for the night.
Today we went to church, installed the new carseat, cleaned out cars, and a trip to Wal-Mart. After all that we came home and did some serious cleaning of the house. Now it is getting time to gear up for the next week ahead of us and start all over. Cloey got her new glasses this week and hopefully we will be able to post a picture of them after next weekend. She is staying busy at school and doing a great job. We are looking forward to her coming this weekend. Breakfast for dinner is on the menu for Saturday night and maybe we will play some Uno Attack. One thing I know is that it will be a relaxing weekend spent at home.

Emma's new coat. It was originally $34.50 at Old Navy and I ended up getting it for $6.00

Our little dare devil decided to climb into her shoe basket this morning before church. When she can start climbing up on higher things I think we are in for it.
