Finally warm weather!

This weekend was beautiful! It was so nice to have Raegan outside playing all day. Saturday morning I got up and went to Greenwood with my bff Brandi, for a coupon class. Have you seen the show Extreme Couponing on TLC? Ok, yeah, a class to do that! It was interested but a little overboard for me. Tonya the coupon lady said it is a full time job to extreme coupon. Yeah, so not happening. It was interesting to learn some tricks and tips and save a little more money but I dont need to stockpile 200 rolls of toilet paper, cases of paper towels, enough laundry detergent for the rest of the year, and a deep freeze full of frozen milk, cheese, yogurt and chicken. It was awesome that in Tonya's stockpile that she spent less than $200 for everything but it was in deed extreme. I don't have time to drive all over town going to Meijer, Target, CVS, Kroger, and Walmart to get free food. Gas is almost $4 a gallon. I will continue to do my grocery shopping at Kroger so I can get my fuel points and then Target for other household stuff. I also don't have time or energy to spend 8 hours a day 7 days a week looking at coupon blogs, clipping coupons, buying coupons, making list, organizing a coupon binder and shop all over town with a 1 year old. So not happening.

But I did learn some good coupon stacking tricks and where to find good deals so I look forward to my shopping trip tomorrow to see how much I save.

While in Greenwood I received a text that a house in our neighborhood was struck by lightening and was on fire. It knocked our cable and power out. Ryan said it was super bright and so loud. It was nice knowing 5 firetrucks were at the house, just one street over, in 3 minutes. By the time I got home early Saturday afternoon it was bright, sunny and warm! We took a walk around the neighborhood and walked by the house that was on fire. It had quite a bit of damage and you could see where the lightening struck the roof. We talked to their neighbor and she said the owner of the house was on their way back from Spring Break in Florida. So heartbreaking. It could have been a lot worse though.

We spent the rest of the afternoon outside hanging out with some neighbors and their kids. Its great that there are so many kids Raegan's age on our street. Our neighbor has a little girl Ellie who is 6 months older than Raegan and across the street in Ally who is 4 months younger than Raegan and then a couple houses down in Kate who is a couple months younger than R as well.

Sunday morning Raegs and I got up and went for a run in the jogging stroller. I showered and then we went to Scotty's Lakehouse for brunch. It was very good and very different than the Brewhouse locations. We then went downtown and went to the Indianapolis Indians baseball game. They are a minor league AAA team of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The game started at 2 and well that is Raegans naptime. So she slept about 40 minutes in the car on the way there and was still so tired at the game. She laid down on the blanket and went night night! It was sunny and 84 degrees and she just wanted to cover up and sleep! I kept getting so many compliments all weekend from neighbors and friends at the game about how well behaved she is. Pat on the back for me!
