So much for staying home . We went to Discovery place, a bit more than we needed to spend, but if I am going to splurge I want to do it on fun/educational stuff. Ran about 30$ for admission and parking (sigh in pgh parking is free and the center is bigger) But the kids had a lot of fun and so did we.

Then DH decided to splurge on food, we usually get a 'reward' for finishing the peanut butter sandwhiches, but this time DH got a whole hamburger meal, and two chicken nugget meals, on the up side it was a LOT of food, we didn't manage to finish the fries, and we have some sandwhiches to use tonight when we go to the skating rink. (I know more of a splurge, but fun and kindof educational)

DS finished the k-5 program, so we lit a candle at dinner, let him pick it, and then made a badge with contact paper and a picture of him. It looks cool, and IDs him as being in the 'first Grade division' we made one for DD (no sense listening to her want his) and it said 'Exploring division, since she isn't even in Kindergarten yet. Thye both liked them . (and rather frugal .)

Today DH will head to the grocery store for a few essentials, and tomorrow we will head to BJs for more. Since we only have 300 in the bank (till the next pay check), I really really hope we can stick to the cheap stuff!.

We had the greatest time last night playing a childs version of charades! It was awesome, we had the kids pick an animal and then act it out, my youngest is only 1 but she was the cutest little imitaor, making most of the sounds and even trying to waddle like a duck. My 'oldest' is 2.75. he had the hardest time not telling me what he was being, he wanted to say it then do it, which took the guesswork out of it, but was still the cutest thing, great fun.

This morning my kids decided I should play revers pictionary, they gave me an animal and I was supposed to draw it, I have no artistic talent whatsoever, that all went to my bro, but the kids thought it was fun, I am a big girl so the description of my horse being more like a 3 legged dinosaur didn't bother me, much. just kidding, they were right. it did look like a dinosaur. next time I think I will try making a dinosaur and see if it looks like a horse!

This has nothing to do with money except that it was free entertainment!, well we did have to buy the crayons and paper but honestly we are using up the stash of paper from my DHs highschool, and the crayons are frequent gifts for kids. So really free .
