I got mail!

As you may remember, I've been battling a terrible diaper rash for a few weeks now. Even worse, my favorite cloth diaper store has been out of my diaper rash cream! Yikes!!

So we had to find someone who wasn't out of it. Mama found a few places, but it was super pricey, 'specially when you have to pay for the shipping. Finally, she found a good deal on Amazon.

The best part was, mama and daddy had gotten some Amazon moneys by doing seaches here instead of using other search-y places. Basically you type what you want to look for, and it will randomly give you "Bucks" that you can cash in. If you get 45 Bucks, you get some Amazon moneys. If you get a bunch of Amazon moneys, you can buy things!

And sometimes the things you buy even come in boxes. With packing peanuts. And a jar that goes THUD! when thrown. All of which can be stacked!

Coupons and discounts and sales... oh my!

Today is Thursday, and you know what that means: Old Navy coupons. If you go to www.OldNavyWeekly.com, there will be coupons hidden. To find them, you have to click or drag or move different stuffs. Last week, we took the candy from the kid's bag and put it in the guy's mouth. And ta-da! We got a 15% off our total order coupon.

We used the coupon to buy my Halloween costume. It's super cool, but it's a surprise!

It's a surprise when the coupons will be updated, but usually it's after mama gets home from work. We check all day though - just in case! When we find one, we'll let you know. And if you get a $50 or $75 off a $100 purchase coupon, keep us in mind if you want to send one to a friend. Or if you want to buy me a present. I like presents.

Update: Well, mama and daddy found three coupons, but not the "good" ones. They found a $10 off a $50 purchase, 15% off your total order, and buy a sweater get 10% off. If you want to know where any of these coupons are, let me know.

Buh-bye to daddy's car!

Daddy's car has gone buh-bye. He said that he was sick and tired of it being broked down all the time. So he took it to the car store and they offered him moneys for it.

Then he took it to another car store. They said on TV that if the first place offered daddy more money, they would offer even more money.

{Two hundred and fifty dollars more.}

When they offered him less money, daddy told them about what they said on the TV. Then they 'membered about it, and offered him more. Hooray for daddy!

After he buh-byed the car, daddy walked home 'cause he didn't have a car anymore. And that made him happy.

I get to go shopping at the mall {free!!}

I get to go shopping at the mall and get TeN DoLLaRS worth of new stuff for ME! Mama and daddy got a free $10 gift card voucher by going here.

{If you go there, you gotta click on the Gift Card Voucher button, and hurry! there's only 500 for each mall.}

Now mama and daddy get to take me to the mall on September 17-19 and get my gift card!! That means I, Gabriel, have $10 to spend on whatever I want!! Mama and daddy say I want clothes, but I'm not so sure about that...

Either way, we get to walk and look around the mall, which is one of my favoritest things to do!!

Free Food!

My mama ordered me some couscous from the computer, and it was yummy!

She said she got it for no money by going here.

I'm trying to learn to eat with a spoon and a fork, and I ate the food all by myself! Well, I did need to use my fingers sometimes. {And sometimes it felled on the floor, but I picked it up.}

I also learned that you can't use a comb to eat your food, but you can use it for your hair. So much to learn!
