Our CVS refuses to take manufacturer's coupons on items that are on sale "With Card."

Just got back from doing a bunch of errands. I try not to make a trip out for just one thing. Also, I am "routing" the errands so I can drive the least distance possible. Anything to save on gas.

We picked up some of the picture books on tape at the library, in the little bag with the book and cassette. Luke is having a lot of fun with these.

And it just occurred to me how I can save a little electricity....I can't believe I didn't think of this before. Luke can use the bathroom by himself but he can't yet reach the light switch. So someone goes in with him, turns on the light and walks away. When Luke is done, the light stays on until someone comes back and turns it off. Well, we have a little step stool--and he can stand on it and reach the switch all by himself! This is better, and he learns a good habit of saving electricity.
