Just finished watching the Sponge Bob Movie with my 3 kids...they laugh out loud so much at him. It's funny just to sit and watch their reactions to things!

Spent 16.00 at Superstore yesterday. Bought 3 loaves of bread, 3 dozen eggs, chips for dh, tons of bananas (only 29cents a lb.), a big box of soda crackers, and 5 mini bottles of dasani water that were in the sale box and the plastic bottles will be perfect to refill and send in lunch boxes to school because they are the perfect fit. I was going to buy some new rubbermaid drinking containers, but these should work fine and were only 29 cents each! I only send water to school for my kids because I don't think that they drink enough of it and I have a problem with garbage created by drinking boxes and packaging in general. Our school has a vending machine for drinks that does have juice and lemonade (no soda), but my kids are only allowed to buy a drink if they use their own money. The older two (11 and 9) share a paper route and are given 30.00 each a month of that money to spend as they wish, but at 1.00 per drink they don't usually choose to go there! Ds11 loves to buy books, and dd9 likes jewellery, stuffed animals, nail polish etc. They use their own money for junk food, but since they're not permitted to go to the store on their own (it's just a tad too far away for my comfort zone, although most of their friends are allowed to go alone) it's maybe once a week that dh or I will take them there.
Youngest ds5 has his own spending money. We give him tickets for jobs and each ticket is worth 25cents that he may cash in for money as he likes. It usually adds up to about 2 dollars a week, but he'll sometimes earn nothing and other weeks go all out and make 5 dollars.

Today is going to be a huge spending day because we are going to do our back to school clothes shopping and need 6 pairs pants, 4 shirts, one pair of runners and everyone in the house needs new socks and/or underwear.
I'll check back in later with the grand total...
