My kids are almost pre-teens. They have moments filled with angst. They tell me that things that used to be their favorites are baby-ish and that they don't need a babysitter anymore. There are still times though when they still like to be tucked in and read to. Some days they still want to sit and color in a color book or eat a Popsicle on the porch on a hot day. And once in a while someone stills falls asleep on a long car ride.
Maybe there are things we never outgrow.

Goal 5: Celebrate Often and Together.
This month has been a crazy month in my house. May-June always is. It's every single holiday for the entire year all rolled into one.
My baby turns 8 today and although I may not be ready to stop nagging him about keeping his room clean or eating veggies... 8 is pretty darn grown up and something very worth celebrating so here is my awesome shout out to one of the greatest people I have ever known. May you continue to be the stellar human being you have started out as. ;) Happy Birthday Nate!

Free stuff to do!
Wow! It's been a while since I have blogged. I guess I will get back on track with ways I have found to get around having to pay BIG BOKOO $$$ for every outing this summer. Summer fun doesn't mean you have to be broke.
1. Look around for neighborhood activities. Either things like picnics and garage sales in your neighborhood or outdoor movie nights in the city nearest you.
2. Check out pools in the area.
3. National anything usually = free something. For example last week you could get 10$ free play at D&B for National Play Day and yesterday was free doughnut day and the 11th is free fishing day.
4. Use survey coupons at places like Burger King or Dave and Busters that guarantee free stuff for 5 minutes of your time.
5. Always fill out contest drawings for tickets. almost no one does so you have a great chance of winning.
