There is nothing I love more than a "free" day and last Monday was just that kind of day. We started off with a trip to the local library where the kids turned in their books from last week and checked out new ones for this week. For reading one book, they each got the weekly summer reading program incentive prize (mini white boards and markers) for FREE and then, since they read more than 5 books apiece, they got to spin the prize wheel too. Emma won a FREE kids meal at Togos and TJ got a coupon for a FREE frosty at Wendys. I timed our trip to coincide with the start of a music program at the library as well. So we got to take a Mommy & Me type music class for FREE and I got a music CD for FREE and each of the kids got an egg shaker instrument for FREE. After we left the library we took a quick trip to 7-11 where, since it was July 11th (7/11), it was FREE slurpee day! We each got a FREE small slurpee and headed home. Later that evening I dropped the babies off to swim with their cousins while I went to meet Karen for our pilates class. Ok, technically this class wasn't free, but we bought them as part of a package deal a while back on a Groupon type site, so it was already paid for... which made it FREE today! After class we finished up the evening with a quick trip to Target where I used some coupons to get some (nearly!) free school supplies for the kids and a new pillow for Mikayla. I think my total expenditures for the day was only a couple of bucks. Can't beat that for a fun filled day!
