Some things to do for Free this summer

I had found that United Neighbors in my area was doing FUN IN THE SUN SUMMER PARK PROGRAM. So I called to get some info about it. I have to my child ages 4 to (I can not remember) to one of the parks that they tell me. It is the one that is closes to your house. Its from 9am-3pm they provied lunch and other then doing things at the park they will go to the Zoo, Swimming, cheerleading, Baseball, Tennis, Doble Dutch, Golf and much more. So I asked how much is this And ITS FREE!!! So Call your United Neighbors to see if they are doing something like this too.

Money Saving last few Days

I have been really bad over the weekend. My girls went to my sister n laws house Friday to stay the night so, Peyton, Dan and I took him to Chuck E Cheese, to have some one on one time with him, he dose not get that a lot. and Saturday, and Sunday We went shopping I oly spent 40 for the two days and I have posted some of the deals that I got.

Now to Yesterday.

Windows open still trying to keeps lights off as long as I can but with not a lot of light in this apt kinda stinks but I am working with it. Had at least 2 tvs off all day (and night), dinner was whatever everyone could find, While Skylar and I went to her last Skating party for the Year. That cost us 10 but I got a cup that was 2 but we can reuse and get refills later for 50 cents. If I did not do that it would cost me 1.50 everytime we want a drink.

And today well So far we still have not turned the air on, I really wanted today but did not do it ( I did a fan on when my Daycare boys took a nap) . 2/3 tv have been off for most of the day. and only one computer has been on.


I have been cleaning all my Window today and using my Sundays Paper it works great. they dont leave stikes on the windows.


Flip Flops 2 Old Navy Saturday

I was told that,
This Saturday only, Old Navy will be selling their flip flops for $1 per pair! There is a limit of 5 per person, but I hear that people line up so make sure to get there early. What a great deal just in time for summer!


Sundays Paper

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!
Take the day off, and enjoy not having to clip and organize coupons!
