Here is how we saved money/spent money wisely/made extra money this week:
- I hosted two parties with my Usborne Books & More business. I am very excited to announce the 30th Anniversary $30 Kit Special. Ask me how you can start your own Usborne Books & More business for just $30 this month!
- Friday morning, Mark was the storytime reader at Toodleydoo Toys. Each fourth Friday, a member of the Franklin Police Department reads a story, hands out stickers, and answers questions. We were very happy to see our favorite officer! The toy store also kindly gave him a $10 gift certificate to spend. He bought Owen a die-cast school bus - this has been a wishlist item for Owen since Christmas and he was very happy to have it!
- Saturday we had our first stay-home-comfy-clothes day in about a month. We watched two 90s era movies, Mark took care of breakfast, and we stayed in our jammies until 11 or so. It was wonderful!
- Saturday evening we enjoyed a pizza party celebration for one of Owen's friends. She graduated from Kindergarten and we were so happy to help her celebrate that achievement. We gifted her a fun, musical Usborne Book.
- Sunday we worshipped at Mt Olive because Annabeth was singing with the VBS group. We enjoyed a church picnic afterwards, Annabeth had her face painted, and the kids especially loved seeing some live animals brought in for the event. There was a water balloon station where the congregation could throw water balloons at Pastor Jeff (Owen was VERY excited for this) but by the time we got to that Pastor Jeff had taken his lunch break. I got in the wet chair and let the kids throw and break their water balloons on me. #mamaoftheyear

- Monday we drove down to Charlestown for a day of play with our friends the Eblings. We brought fruit and oreos and Rosie made the rest of lunch. We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon golf cart ride and swim at their neighborhood pool. The kids and I love it! Thank you Eblings!
- We started back to school on Tuesday. I had originally scheduled to go back July 15 but some changes to our summer plans meant I needed to sneak in a few days before then to keep us on the schedule that we like. (In Indiana, children ages 7+ are required to have 180 instructional days between July 1-June 30)
- We found a gas gift card in our room. Neither one of are sure where it came from but it has the full amount on it so we plan to use it for an upcoming trip.
- We ate all of our meals at home. Mark packed his lunch to work.
Thank you all so much for reading this series for the past 300 WEEKS!
Happy Savings to All!
