Our day was packed full of fun today! I woke up early to go grocery shopping at Publix. I spent $30.60 and bought 5 bottles of Snuggle, 4 boxes of fiber one yogurt, 6 boxes of french bread pizza, 2 tubes of arm and hammer toothpaste, 8 1lb packages of ground beef, 5 bottles of Dove body wash, 1 box of coffee sticks, 1 container of Breakstone cottage cheese, pears, and 2 bags of cauliflower and broccoli. My total savings was $105.xx. I did all of my shopping in a little over an hour.
When I got home, the family was ready to go to the festival. We got there as soon as it opened. Each of the kids got a free bag of popcorn, then they went to make planters with whatever plant they wanted to put in them. C chose a cool looking plant and M chose a plant with a pink flower on top...who would have guessed she would pick something with pink in it. Then we went over to the ceramic booth. They each painted a ghost holding a pumpkin. After that, J took C to look at the huge train track setup on the tennis court. M painted a pumpkin. C and J came over to paint a "mean looking, baseball player" pumpkin. While those were drying we went over to the police motorcycle and bug. They were giving out free bicycle helmets! What?? Then we went over to the bounce house, where M could have stayed all day. We couldn't pass up the chance to get our free snow cones. After the snow cones, the kids played a few games and won some candy and a necklace. They played in the park for a little bit and then it was time to head over to Chuck E Cheese for A's birthday party. The kids had some much fun at the party. They played a lot of games and got all hyped up on pop and cake. The last stop for the day was back to Publix so the kids could make a goody bag and Publix filled it up with goodies. They put some noise makers, a pumpkin hat, candy, coloring pages, and a bracelet in it. The kids were so tired, they didn't even want to get their face painted. We did not trick or treat around the store either. When we got home the kids took a nap and I sorted out my coupons. J is going to set up the scarecrows while the kids play outside.
