Cutler has this pair of jeans that are supposed to be "cool" and have a little worn place in the knee. Well over the last few months the worn place turned into a small hole but he still loves these jeans. So today I noticed the hole was a little bigger so we had "the talk" about leaving it alone. Well what do you know, the talk did not work and this is what it looks like tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and in case you did not know, Batman is the coolest thing ever!!! (right now anyway)

The past couple of weeks have been busy but nice around the Turner house. Cutler's soccer practice is down to the last two weeks but we are still playing in the yard as a family. I think we are going to skip the next session of soccer as I just found out Cutler is old enough to play T-Ball through the YMCA this summer and that made me all giddy! The Spina Bifida Association has finally hired a new Executive Director and are making great progress, our first board meeting of 2009 is this week and I can't wait to see all the progress made thus far. Anthony is still waiting to hear from EMC with a final offer but he has been in contact with them and should be receiving that offer this week. Worst case scenario he starts the last week of March and heads out to Boston the first week of April for 9 weeks of training. Cutler and I plan to fly up a couple of times during that time and I am sure those 9 weeks will fly by! Some of our great friends have asked us to vacation with them this fall in Maine and I have become a addict to checking out some places we may get to visit. Check it out for yourself:
I really can't imagine anything more beautiful that this!

I ran by Publix on my way home today to pick up a few more things during the sale.
So this is what I got:
8 Yoplait Yogurts
4 Toaster Strudels (Cutler and Anthony love these things)
2 can of Rotel tomatoes
2 packs of Ronzoni spaghetti
2 boxes of Crystal Light
2 cans of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
2 cartons of Egg Beaters Southwest blend (you should really try these if you have not already)
16 oz Friendship Sour Cream
1 pack Oscar Meyer Canadian Bacon
and my total at check out, tax included was $17.61
I saved a total of $30.72!!!!!
This was a truly awesome shopping trip, I have determined that I am completely addicted to trying to save the most money each trip. My stockpile is getting full and we are down to spending $60 a week on groceries, health care and household items.
If you want to know how I do this, let me know and I will be glad to help you get started!
