Jumpin' on Sarah's bandwagon...

December 15th, 2014 at 07:53 pm

...with a festive pic of my girls!



This was at a Christmas village thing happening in downtown. I wasn't going to take them because I'd heard it had an entrance fee and everything there cost money. But on Sunday, NT needed to finish a paper for school (his last one!), AS had to buckle down on a big freelance project, and it was 50 degrees out (very warm for MN in December). So I said to heck with it. I had no plans for my weekly spending money anyway.

It wasn't a great festival, but it had a merry-go-round, music and snacks, which is about all preschoolers need to have a fabulous time. I enjoyed seeing them so happy. I spent:

- $6 admission
- $10 on 3 rides on the carousel
- $3 on cider for the kids
- $1 to let the 4-year-old give to a street musician whose performance she was enjoying
- $14 on pizza and drinks at the Target cafe

NT gave me $10 of his spending money when I got back, I guess since I'd kept the kids out of their hair!

    Can barely stand the cuteness here. I'm guessing from the grin, big sister here is the mischievous one, though little sis looks like she'll follow suit before long. Enjoy the holidays. I really, really, really miss little ones seeing all these pictures. Thanks for the share. Again, beautiful family.

    Hee hee, she's just hopped up on cider and excitement here. No, actually the younger one is the real handful, always getting into things and pushing everyone's buttons. Not that big sis is a total angel by any means! Wink But they're both exceptionally smart and warmhearted girls.

    What beautiful babies! I think the money was well spent. The day comes all too soon that outings like these are nothing but fond memories.

    Now I'm off to see Sarah's pic. Smile

    Spending on things like this is an "investment" in great memories. They are very cute, especially in the matching sister jackets.

    Temperature of 50 in mid December in Minneapolis is worth celebrating; the memories for the girls and their smiles are priceless. Thanks for sharing. Let us know what you and kitty think of your Roomba
