Yep, it's official...I'm DUTCH

This is how our day started. Abby's been begging to feed the ducks in our backyard. We haven't been home enough to actually catch them in the yard, but this morning there was one lone duck out there. So, we headed out and Abby shredded her bread for the duck. She loved it! There are usually 5-6 ducks out there, along with quite a few bunnies, a few deer and every once in a while a muskrat or opossum. I guess you could say we live in a wildlife preserve.
We had some friends over for a play date later that morning. The three girls played and played. They dined on strawberries with sugar and then played again. It was fun for both Abby and me. I got to have adult conversation while they played. This picture is the highlight of my day! This is the one that prompted the title of today's blog. I have officially become the epitome of the Dutch girl, always searching for a new deal. While Abby was napping today I was searching blogs and found one that had coupon deals at Target. So, I printed off some coupons and ventured to Target with Abby. We got 10 bags of fruit snacks, one vitamin water bottle and a chutes and ladders game....a $16 deal for only....are you ready???? For only $3.90!!! That's right folks. I had $1 coupons for each fruit snack and they only cost 89cents so they credited me 11 cents for all 10! Then I had another coupon to get the water free. The game was originally $5 (on sale this week) but with my savings I only paid $3.90! What a deal!! I'm going to check this website again tomorrow. Who knows what great deals I'll find there.

Here's Abby playing the chutes and ladders game. We played together quite a few times and then while I made dinner, she played with her doll. Then the game came out again when Jessie came over. What fun!
