who says you need to have an endless supply of money to have a good time doesn't know what its like to be creative.
we hit up the circus as a family a couple of nights ago, and saved 50% of the ticket price since we had an entertainment coupon ($30 instead of $60). dinner at mcdonalds-a local special had hamburger happy meals for $1.29; we each had one, dinner was under $5. parking was $7. brought snacks and drinks in the diaper bag, avoided all the crap toys and marketing, and had a really nice time out. total cost $42!
tonight, i went to a local mom's group event, met lots of new moms, out of my comfort zone, spent $5 on the buy-in for the game. hubby brought me there, a new friend brought me home, saved on gas that way. the boys all ate at home (skipped the church carnival they had intended to visit), and i ate at the event. everyone had a good time-and best of all-boys went to sleep w/o much of a fight.
tomorrow's a long day. hubby has a union meeting, so i'm on my own all day. debating whether to hit up the zoo first thing in the morning, or go somewher else. we'll see how the boys moods are, and go from there. happy friday everyone!
