Yay! Another no spend day--that makes 3 out of 10 for the month. Tomorrow will hopefully be another one.

Ways I saved money today:
1) Hung up a load of laundry.
2) Baked zucchini muffins, and brownies. Froze half the muffins for school lunches.
3) Made homemade pretzel buns. When we were out on Saturday ds11 had a soft pretzel bun from the bakery and the kids all loved it. I went on the internet, found a recipe for soft pretzels, and made the buns. I had to sprinkle regular salt on the top because I didn't have any coarse salt, but they turned out yummy! Everyone has one packed in their lunch for tomorrow.
4) Threw the shower curtain and liner in the washing machine with towels. Usually I throw out the liner and buy a new one but I thought I would try this first and it cleaned really well. Hung them back up straight out of the washing machine. I don't think the liner can go in the dryer anyways, and really, does it make sense to dry it?

The kids are in bed, lunches are packed (with the exception of the pasta that will go into their thermoses in the morning), backpacks are by the door, and clothes are laid out. Tomorrow is ds5's first day of kindergarten and he is so excited! I will be dropping the kids off at school, working from 9-2 and picking them up on my way home. I'm glad to be going to work--don't want to think too much about my last baby going to school. I bawled with my first, cried with my second, and think if I drip a few tears tomorrow, oh well! As long as he doesn't know, I don't care! I'm sure I'll get used to the freedom fairly quickly.
