A whole sleeve of Graham Crackers, all for myself.

Right now it's just me, nap time, & a glass of milk w/ an entire sleeve of graham crackers.  Call this a rare moment of which I am taking FULL advantage.  (By the way, how much is milk where you live?  Because at Costco today, Vitamin D milk was $3+...I was like, "Excuse me???")

Well it's almost May and the grass is definitely getting greener.  Temperatures are teasing us, and can't decide what to do.  For example, our porch April 1:

 And on April 3:

See what I mean?  It's been raining for 3 days straight---POURING rain.  Which is kinda fun, but kinda cold, too!

Let me just interject here and say how GRATEFUL we are because I keep praying for help, and it keeps HAPPENING!  We are certainly being watched out for by a loving Father in Heaven.  I mean, we are pretty cheap people, let's be honest.  For example, at our rare date night of dinner (with a gift card!), there was this (picture below) left from our chip dip.

I mean, it was incredibly good salsa, black bean dip, guac, and sour cream.  We both concluded that it was like $2 we'd be throwing away, which is ridiculous, so of course we took it home!  (And took a picture, giggling at ourselves)

But even with being "cheap" (I would up myself to "frugal".  Perris is much, much worse than even "cheap" can describe.  Remember used pacifier found on the street story??), we actually are on an extremely tight budget.  So, when I was planning an important family trip and not finding a ticket that worked with our schedule/budget, I prayed.  Like the words, "Please help me to find a ticket we can afford & that works".  The next day, I thought of new ideas and found miles we haven't used to get myself a ticket for $85!  Umm WHAT?!???!!!!

Then our blender broke.  It was a wedding gift, and had a good 5 year run.  It was partly my fault, but it was still dying slowly anyway.  So I've been looking for blenders and they be spency!  This week I prayed for help to find a blender.  Today, a friend texted to ask if I wanted her cheesecake springform pan that I'd borrowed before, and I said YES.  Then I thought I should ask her if she's getting rid of a blender.  AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW?  She was! 

And that, my friends, is how I know I am known & loved by the heavens.  Small and simple things are sometimes greater than the big things.

Seriously.

I bid you farewell because I'd now like to enjoy an episode of Psych before the boys awaken!  Look at them driving together in the grocery store!  Crazy-face Wade was not messing around!!
