Frugal birthday party: oldest is turning 10 this week (my baby!) and wants to have some friends sleep over. Will take them fishing, order pizza and I will bake a b-day cake. He also wanted to rent a playstation 2 to play games and a neighbor boy offered to lend him his for free! So we only have to pay to rent the games. Pretty frugal! We're getting him a new bike, which is expensive, but he's getting old enough to be responsible for an expensive item like that. Will also make cupcakes for him to take to school Thurs. He's fine with that.
Vickilynn: Isn't Door Co. beautiful? Haven't been there for years, but it sounds more expensive and commercialized than when we were there last (16+ years ago).
Water pump: At least you didn't have to drill a well! The well went out at our place here just before we bought it and the previous owners (14 years ago) had to pay $2500 to drill a new one! The old one was inside, and they needed to install a pressure tank, etc.
DH just ordered a part and fixed the dishwasher himself-saved tons of $$$. It sure is nice having a handy husband.
We need to do some major reseeding of our lawn--will have to bring in topsoil, etc. Not cheap, but at least we enjoy growing things. Got my flowers all planted and outside-on the beautiful mother's day we had here. Really enjoyed it. Still need to till and plant the veggie garden.
Unfrugal: The motor went out on the table saw in the middle of dh's coffee table project. Very costly. It stinks when that stuff happens.
Have a good Tuesday!
