Happy Frugal Friday!
Here is how we saved money/spent money wisely/made extra money this week:
- Mark returned home from Raven's Challenge. The bomb team had a great week of training with teams from around the world. The long hours there did result in overtime pay for Mark.
- Saturday for lunch we enjoyed time with Mark's mom for her birthday. We celebrated her birthday along with Owen's and had pizza for lunch and ice cream cake for dessert.
- Saturday evening Annabeth and I headed to her best friend's birthday party. It had a "Wednesday" theme and as always Melissa had INCREDIBLE decor! Their family is so warm, welcoming, and I'm so thankful for their friendship. Annabeth chose to gift Sophia a Tiny Art Kit.
- Sunday morning Annabeth I served at greeters at early service. Annabeth also helped lead music and the Lord's Prayer during both services as part of VBS Sunday. I am forever thankful that she fell in love with the Lord at such a young age and that she seeks to serve him in all she does.
- Owen was very sick Friday evening through Sunday evening so he and Mark stayed home most of the weekend resting. He was finally feeling back to normal by Monday lunchtime.
- Monday evening O did make it to his baseball game. The weather was gorgeous - under 70 with blue skies and sun. O had his best game yet with three hits and two runs scored.
- Tuesday morning I cleaned out a drawer and found a Starbucks giftcard. Much to my surprise it had $14.70 on it. Woohoo!! I was so surprised - I am usually pretty good about spending money on coffee. I used it Wednesday morning when I went to volunteer at the kids' dance rehearsal.
- Wednesday morning the kids had dance rehearsal with their recital Wednesday night. They were excited to have Nana, Grandmama, and Grandpa all there.
- Yesterday we had an adventure day with Grandmama and Grandpa. We drove to the Richmond area and stopped at the Richmond Fossil Park, ate at Pizza King where enjoyed 10% off thanks to our kind waitress, stopped by the Levi Coffin House Museum, saw the highest point in Indiana, and popped in an Amish grocery for some snacks. We had a great day out exploring.
- Last night we went to the pool for free swim and dive in movie. It was packed so we swam 2 hours and then came home for popcorn and the movie in our own living room.
We have had a great week with Mama and Dad here. Now we look forward to a weekend of baseball, graduation parties, and Father's Day.
Happy Savings to All!
