Groceries, Goodwill, and Anne's Haircut

Update on groceries - Albertson's has General Mills cereals 2/$3, and in this past Sunday's paper, there was a coupon for $1 off of 2, which brings them to $1 each. And, when you buy 3, you get a coupon for a free gallon of milk. The best part is that Spencer's favorite (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) and Anne's favorite (Honey Nut Cheerios) are included!

Today was Goodwill Dollar Day - I got a couple of pairs of pants for Spencer, and a few shirts for each kid, but the best purchase was something that I actually paid full price for. I found a Guardian Serviceware Roaster for $14.99! I am so excited! It has the glass lid and the metal lid. These typically sell for $50 or more on eBay. Why are these so awesome? Well, they are cast aluminum and are very durable. They were made in the 1930's and 1940's. They just don't make cookware like that anymore.

Lastly, Anne got her first "big girl" haircut last night. We've been trying to grow out her bangs and the rest of her hair, but yesterday, just before Johnny got home from work, I was putting some things away when Spencer came running down the hall shouting, "Mom! Mom! Anne just cut her hair!" Sure enough, there were a few large chunks missing right on the side of her face. She tried for the next 30 minutes to blame Spencer for it before finally admitting she was the one who cut it. I have no idea where she found the scissors - they are hidden for just this reason! Anyways, I called my friend Blaire, who cuts my hair, in a panic. So we went over to her house, and she did a great job fixing it. It's a cute haircut, and the one section that's really short is easily hidden, but now we have to start over growing out her bangs. All in all, I guess it could have been much worse.
