Spring Break fun for $10 or less a day

One week down and one to go. Overall we had a pretty good week. We did not have any plans to go out of town so I knew I had to keep the boys busy doing fun things around town. I started out the week with a plan to do something fun each day. Bad weather at the end of the week made us change the plans a little but overall I think the boys had a fun week.
Monday- My friend was nice enough to watch baby for me so the boys and I could go have some fun. We went to the dollar show ( really it cost's 1.50) and saw Bolt. The movie was actually pretty cute. After that we went the library and then we stopped at Qdoba for lunch. Total spent $18. This was our splurge day as you will see.

Tuesday- Skate City here we come!!! Little did I know how popular Skate City was going to be. When we arrived there was a line all the way out to the parking lot. Once we finally got inside the boys had a lot of fun. After a couple of hours of skating we left and stopped at McDonald's on the way home for french fries and ice cream cones. There is a red box right outside so we picked up Madagascar 2 to watch when we got home. Thanks to the boys school we had coupons to skate for free and only had to pay 1.50 for skate rental for Dylan. Total spent $ 7.

Wednesday- Off to Denver we go. We have a membership to the Museum of Nature and Science in Denver so that was our destination. We happened to have some guest pass so our friends were able to come with us for free. We spent most of the day there and the boys had a blast. On the way home we dropped of the movie we rented the day before and picked up a new one for Thursday. Jax got to pick and his choice was Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Total spent $1

Let's have some fun.

Thursday- The weatherman was calling for a blizzard so we went to Target early in the morning to pick up a few essentials. That included food for baby,Dr Pepper for me, Root beer for the boys and Mac and cheese for lunch! The boys had some friends over to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua and we watched the storm roll in. Total spent $ 0

We took this picture about 3 p.m.


This is our backyard a little while later.


Friday- The storm wasn't quite has bad as I thought it would be but it did leave enough snow for the boys to play in. Surprisingly the spent most of the day outside playing together. Total spent $0
Watch out here comes a snow ball!

My sister and her family are coming tomorrow and will be here all of the next week. The boys are really excited to play with their cousins and I have lots of fun things planned.



One a different note Ally is almost 7 months old. We got lucky for the first 6 months and she escaped without getting any of the colds going around. Our luck came to an end when she came down with bronchitis. She was pretty sick for about ten days but thankfully she is back to normal now. She loves to sit and watch her brothers play. She has her two bottom teeth and her two top teething are coming in. This has meant some sleepless night this week as she is in some pain. We finally got smart and started giving her Tylenol the last couple of nights. I hope they come in soon. Here are some recent pics.

Whose a big girl now?

No more laying down now, it's sitting up or nothing.
