Idea for SOMETHING to do........The Musuem of Fine Arts....

Have you been to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts lately???
They have the great children's section (even BIG kids have fun!! We love the light show, and the great NASCAR type track thing) there is even a "play" room upstairs....puzzles, games...(we used to do this when ours were younger in between Karate class and speech therapy...we would go there to "kill time" and just chill...)

It is still FREE and we actually like looking at the exhibits....we have not been since they had the Shakespeare Festival Exhibit (showing items used in the plays) Carol Beth is FASCINATED with Shakespeare!! (I need to take her to a play....maybe....what if she "falls" asleep!!!)
With it still "cold" outside....this might be an idea for your families to "have fun together", they are not open on Monday's!!
We also enjoy going out to the Pond and watching the ducks....they can be quite amusing.....watch those swans though!!! THEY CAN GET YOU !!!!!

Free MOVIES!!! at home thru your computer!!!

Have you heard about Channel 131

You can see FREE movies....like NEW RELEASES!!!
We are planning to watch Tooth Fairy (we will make pizzas and popcorn, move the couch where it is facing the computer....we have this down to a science now!!!) During the day they even know to throw blankets on the windows to make the room dark!!! MY INDUSTRIOUS KIDS.....YET THEY DON"T KNOW HOW TO TURN ON THE WASHER!!!!!

Try it out, they load fast...and we have never had a "computer" issue...no viruses or anything...
So plan a "movie" night with your family

Budget Saver Idea!

The other day when we went to the store (Friday).....I knew we were going to be awhile.....Dr. office, Publix, I ran in Winn Dixie looking for those Cole's breadsticks (raincheck), the library (you can get an out of county card for $15.00 for the year!! GREAT LIBRARY....they have DVD's a great children's section and the people are really sweet!!),Walmart...(Bo was with me this was his stop....WHY!!!)
and the thrift store...(Carol Beth has finally grown taller!!! She has not "grown" since 2006!!!! We thought she was done!!! So some jeans and a few tops (Becca found Carol Beth the cutest Hannah Montana hoodie for .50 cents!!!! all green tagged items were .50 cents!!!)

Anyway, I knew it was going to be a LONG day.....I made the time (10 minutes) before we left the house to grab some snacks, drinks, and the Smuckers uncrustables (we had never tried these before!!) threw them in a little cooler....and in between our running....we had lunch!!! When they said they were thirsty....grab a drink out of the cooler!! That little bit of planning saved us anywhere from $20-$30 dollars!!!
and it was perfect..just enough to fill us up and FREE!! or you know it was using what we had!!
Think about putting some of those "deals" to work for you.....
