Tristan's Pokemon Birthday Party

It has taken me a while to blog about my Tristan's 6th Birthday party because life has been in a whirlwind of craziness lately.

But here is my post! I had to pinch some pennies this year so we did most of the decorating and Pokemon things ourselves.
We worked on drawing a big poster board for decorations.

 We made a Pokemon ball pinyata.

 

We did pin the tail on Pikachu

I made cookies and cupcakes and cake. 

Pinching Pennies Entry #1

Ok, so I am just in the find ways to stretch a dollar mode. Rethinking my financial situations in life. :)

Ways I am going to clean up my act and start saving money... So I am going to blog about my ideas and ways here.

First thing I am doing is tackling the laundry monster. My family is in the habit of getting out of a clean bath, wrapping in a towel (or 2 for our hair) and drying off, then dressing and those towels are washed. WHY? Why can we not hang them to dry and reuse them? I have a load a day of just towels for my family. So I installed an inside clothes line and I am going to start teaching my kids to hang their towels up to use again the next day.

And after a nice clean bath and we go to bed in our jammies - why do my kids think they can only wear them one night? New rule - two nights!
