Wiener Wednesday!

I pride myself on being cheap frugal. I love finding deals and hate spending money... just ask Eric:) Having a family of six, it is not always easy to do things fun and not break the bank. Couple weeks ago, I was on FB (shocker) and came across a deal for FREE tickets (up to 4) to go watch the new Tucson Padres AAA baseball team play! It was great! You see it was "Wiener Wednesday" so we all had wieners (hee hee hee)- 15 to be exact- and sodas and it was $26! Not bad for a family of six for dinner and a ball game! PLUS, the kids LOVED it! I was having flashbacks to when I almost got smacked with a ball in Phoenix so naturally I was plotting ever angle the balls could from and the plan to save the lives of my children, but I did have fun too.

There's the fam. Notice the steep hill and the UNPROTECTED airspace?

Aww....

Such a good big sister

Nothing but the best for MY family! That there is 15 wieners.

Dinner time!

I think I will edit this one and make it fun! I love it!

This is what Brody did the whole time! He would throw a foil ball (like I said, nothing but the best!) down the hill, run to go get it, run back up, stall out about half way and throw again. He had a ball!

I love when things are fun, family oriented and cheap!

"F''ing Fridays: Frugal Family Fun Friday

We have been trying to save money and one of the things that we have been doing it basically cutting out any entertainment that costs more than $20. Since we moved we live SUPER close to a park that has a great playground and awesome ramadas. I take the kids there a lot to exhaust them let them exercise before nap time. Last week we had the big kids and I was watching my friend's little boy PLUS our nephew was going to stay the night and all I could think about was how to NOT be in the house. Eric got home work, we ordered 3, $5 pizzas for pick up at Pizza Hut, loaded up the killer mini-van (which was FULL) and headed to the park for dinner and dancing playing. It was super fun! I put a blanket down and Delaney and Braydon had a little picnic, we all ate around the table. The funny thing was, it was SO COLD. Yes, I know I live in Tucson and you people with the snow (Jen C.) think am crazy, but it was cold! We hardly noticed it though. The big kids, Eric included, played football, I held Brody and Delaney and Braydon went up and down the slide over and over.















I loved it! The best part was.... it cost $16.20! For a family of 6 PLUS a toddler PLUS another 10 yr old! My mom and I took the kids there again today, she brought McD's. SO much better than sitting in the germy play land with the other smelly children. Plus, I think we are going tomorrow night for pizza and playing! The only drag.... no beer allowed:(

Delaney and Brody "shinging"

Brody loves to swing!!! He fell forward here and thought it was hilarious!
