Beach Ballerinas

Abigail LOVES spending time at the Mulder cottage. She loves the beach! This year she got this great bathing suit from Grandma Yo-Yo. Bebe of course got a matching one. :) Aren't the two bathing ballerinas cute (and a tad bit sassy)?

Coupon

Most of you know how much I love coupons and how much I love Target. I put the loves together and usually use a ton of coupons at Target. Well...recently I've received NUMEROUS forwards from people with a coupon for $5 off any $25 purchase at Target. It's a printable coupon, so you could print as many as you wanted. Because of the forums I daily read I knew this was a fake coupon. Let me explain. Months ago Target put out a coupon for $5 off any $25 TOY purchase. Target is well-known for putting out vague coupons...not extremely specific and known to work on lots of things. For example, this TOY coupon would work perfectly fine on any purchase over $25, but only a few people knew that (like those of us who frequent the forums). Anyway...someone altered the TOY coupon, making it good on ANY purchase. Then started emailing it and it spread...like wildfire. It would scan at the store since it was really the toy coupon (that worked on anything over $25), so people used tons and tons of them. Now Target has stopped accepting EITHER coupon...the original and the altered one. Ugh...and right before the big summer toy clearance. I can't believe one idiot could cause such a stink.

Here's an article about it

ETA: In response to the first comment here (and I don't know who you are...please out yourself!)...the memo/signs went up last night/this morning at Target. Yes, the Holland Target is included. I was there this morning. Each lane has an 8 1/2 x 11 paper showing both coupons and says they won't accept either.

Just stopping in...

To say we are still around...just busy! Summer is full of fun, busy days it seems. Colin works 4 lunch shifts a week and I work 3 nights. I works out well, but we try to pack fun things into the days we have off. Henry started swimming lessons this week and seems to be enjoying them. Colin goes with them, so it's something fun for them to do. Birthday season has officially started...really we have a million of them. From June 8 until Sept. 1 we have birthdays/anniversaries for: my parents anniversary, Anita's birthday, Lois and Andy's anniversary, Bebe's birthday, Tavid's birthday, Haans and Anita's anniversary, Henry's birthday, my birthday, our anniversary (8 years!), Brett's birthday, Martha's birthday, Abigail's birthday and Sylvie's birthday. Yeah, it's busy and so much fun too! Nothing really to report, just wanted to say hi. I hope to have a more fun post next time! :)
