Casa de Cheapskate: Family Fun Night "BACK TO SCHOOL"

My regular weekend post got neglected this week on account of me spending 5,777,012 hours in my classroom this week. ;)
Instead I wanted to share our Family Fun Night that we did last Friday night with a BACK TO SCHOOL theme.

Craft=pendant (be true to your school!) (& any other craft your new Kindergartener might need to complete for open house!)
game=pencil on ruler relay (balance is key!)

snack time!

pendent preparation

snack served in cafeteria-style paper bowls

momma's leftover butcher paper from her bulletin board at school (that's what you call recycling!) turned into a town!

You could one-up this by serving dinner in a brown bag. By having your kiddos wear their backpacks to the dinner table. Or by doing relays with apples.

Can't wait to hear about your Family Fun Night!!

Mid-Week Shouts Out: Lion's Choice's 14 cent cones

After three hours of swimming, my crew couldn't think of anything but an ice cream. Enter mini cones from Lion's Choice. Lucky for us, we are content to pass on the dipped option (that'll be an extra 14 cents, ouch!).

I don't any that don't participate. It's not a coupon or special deal, it's their regular price. Our family has been enjoying them for over a year, since a friend at church shared the deal with us....Can't find them that cheap anywhere else!
