I Should Use Coupons More Often

Our shopping was very basic because of all our plans this week. I often forget to look through our coupon stash but today I had time. So I pulled out the backpack from under the bed and emptied it out. I don't really have THAT many but I tossed the file folder of clipped coupons in there a few weeks ago when I was in a hurry to get David and shop together as a family.

Now, flashback to our Valentine's night out. As we looked at the camera in the store, I hesitated. David noticed and said he wouldn't be grumpy even if we end up finding the old camera.

I took him up on that. For at the bottom of the backpack, I found a silver shiny thing...the camera. It got tossed in the open coupon bag either from on the bed or as we unloaded the car. Then I replaced the coupon bag under the bed and didn't think to check it when the camera went missing.

All is well. #1 and #2 are excited to use the old camera.

If the camera had been gone forever, we would have missed these fun shots:


#1 and I checking out the turkeys


Play-dough and school work


Why do I love pictures of sleeping children so much?


Bass on the easy level. One song attention span.


Pay no attention to the child falling off the couch in the background. That's normal.

OH, it is so good to find cameras! We found one of ours wedged between car seats (not children's boosters, but the built-in seats), and we didn't find it until we were having the middle section removed and an additional seat put it! And what fun it was to get those photos of of it, too!

So glad you found yours! :)

Yay! I'm glad you found your camera. We actually need to go through our coupons and get rid of expired ones. :) Those are fun pictures too!
