My frugal thing today--taking the kids to the park after school. I'll stop for sodas somewhere but I'm taking a bag of chips from home for snacking. I'm trying to reward them every Friday with a trip somewhere to play and for poor Jarod who is sooooo lonely and bored without the sissies all week.
When the weather turns cooler or is wet we'll go to indoor activities like skating and bowling. Right now though it's still nice and we have a wonderful breeze today. I've invited a couple of friends to meet us there but even if they don't the kids will get some outdoors play time.

Other frugal thing--I made a pot of compost soup for dinner. Turns out this one is more of a chicken and rice soup and it's SO yummy. (I already taste tested it. ) I also made a loaf of bread using Jeannie's White Mountain bread recipe that she posted on WFD? It is wonderfully easy and smells terrific. I'm resisting tearing into now. It is the first loaf of bread I've ever successfully made wihtout a bread machine. I used my KitchenAid mixer (no bread machine currently) and may never buy another bread machine now. This was TOO easy!

Happy Friday all!
