Just for fun!

Just for Fun!June 21st, 2009
Good morning! Hope you had a wonderful Sunday! WE sure did! Ok, so Dylan officially graduated from Highschool in May. Since we homeschool- no ceremony. But, it is a big deal. We have been so busy with his and Tim’s work schedule, that we had not had our “day” yet. We had it yesterday! The idea is to have the max amount of fun in one day…and spend the least amount of money. There are 11 of us remember. So…….
We got to Red Lobster at 11am for an early lunch. We ordered the Calimari - 5 of them. They are huge plates of Calimari and broccoli and peppers fried. With a $9 tip- because she was so sweet( the manager recognized us and came over to meet the kids. Tim and I date there once in awhile)- it was $50 even. They serve free biscuits( a ton) and we drank water.
Then we went bowling. I have coupons- so we only paid for the shoes. $46 total and we each played two games.
Then we had a bit of time to kill. So we went to Staples. This is not part of the $ count of the day- but just had to tell this. They had packs of pencils- 8 in a pack for 1 cent. There was a limit of 2 packs. I have a homeschool teachers card though…so they let me have 25 PACKS at that price. So 200 pencils for $.25 They had kids scissors for $1 for a two pack. They let me get 5 packs- so $5 for 10 pair. Then erasers were a 3 pack for $1 and I got 4 packs. So spent just over $10
So, on to Sonic. It was HOT yesterday. We hit the “happy hour” half-price drinks. 11 medium slushes for $12.80
We had just enough time to drink them down and get to…
The cheap movies. Tickets- $2.50 each. We saw Monsters VS Aliens. LOL! What fun! I had made treats with cereal and marshmallows and we took those in with us. So $27.50 total.
We drove home and made pizza for supper, and watched August Rush while we ate in the livingroom.
Total for the day- $136.30 ( not counting the $10 school supplies! HAHA!)
Hope your day was as fun!Hugs, Barbara
