Groupon

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today was the day of Groupon. We were actually able to use four Groupons in one day.

It started out this morning. Rachel had an 8am appointment up in Round Rock at a salon to get a Brazilian Blowout. She left the house around 7:20 or so. The boys got up shortly thereafter.

They played in the game room for a bit and then we left to go to Barry and Lisa's. We were giving Lisa a sling for when she had her baby. We forgot it when went to Lincoln's party. Plus we didn't get to talk to them much. So Evan, Noah and I drove up there. They were excited to go on the swing set at their house. They played in the backyard for most of the time, and then played with Lincoln's toys for a bit inside.

Rachel met us over at Barry and Lisa's when she was done.

We came home and had lunch. The boys and I ate our lunch upstairs in the game room on TV trays as Rachel was tutoring.

In the late afternoon, Rachel and I had a massage class to go to. It was an hour long class with a massage therapist that we had gotten on Groupon. It was four two couples but the little girl of the other couple got sick so they had to cancel. So our lesson was private. It was kind of nice learning how to give real massages.

To do this class, we dropped Evan and Noah off at the Clubhouse for Kids. It's a drop-off daycare. Rachel had gotten a Groupon for 20 pre-paid hours. They served the kids pizza there.

We went to dinner downtown at Garrido's since the boys were being taken care of. Rachel had gotten a Groupon for Garrido's as well. We had a nice dinner there with another large discount.

We haven't figured out how much we saved today. I'm thinking it was over $300 that we saved today with the hair thing being the largest savings. That also doesn't count that we bought another group coupon from a site called Urban Dealight for a tree trimming. I made an appointment for them to come out on Monday. That's another $125 we saved there.

After dinner, we picked the boys up. They seemed to have had a good time. They said they'd go back.

We just put the boys to bed but somehow they are down here. Normally every night, I read Captain Underpants before bed to Evan. Noah listens sometimes, but he doesn't sit still very well. We just received a book from Zayde called "You Can Count on Monsters". Evan decided, instead of having me read Captain Underpants to him, he'd read this new book to Noah. They were sitting in Evan's room as Evan read the book to Noah.

We are going to have to put them back to bed now.

Until next time...
