Last day of school!

The kids are done for the year and these are the teacher's gifts I've put together for them. We went out for diner to celebrate and then dad took them to the store to pick out a present! Can't wait to see what they come home with :)

Fun day at the marina!

The city put in a splash pad at the waterfront. It's super nice and a great hub to entertain the kids for the afternoon. There is a skate park, stone ballon animals, a playground and beautiful paths to walk. We picked up an extra boy, because 3 kids wasn't enough ;) they had a great time and we even got ice cream ( a crazy $22) which seemed even crazier when two of the kids threw away 80% of theirs. But considering the rest of the activities were free $22 for a days entertainment seems like a good deal. They ate all of the healthier stuff I packed (muffins and fruit) so I guess they're better off to have thrown away there $4 ice cream just seems a shame to waste food though.

Daddy loves me!

Father's day at our house was with both our dad's and my husband being celebrated at a father's day brunch. Then we took the kids to the cascades for a hike and now back home to BBQ with the homemade rub Charlotte made Dad for a gift.

Yards sale season

So I finally got out to some sales today in this foggy day...and got some great finds! I got a great quality trick bike for my son. Looked them up online and it would have been $300-$500 new, I got it for $40! I'm sure they would have taken less but it was already a great deal I didn't even offer less.

Second find was for my daughter she LOVES the plasma cars at chapters and when i was leaving the yards ale I spotted another sale down the street it was $20 and I only had $10 left so offered that and she took it! She just wanted to clean house so that was another amazing deal because they are around $100 too!

Lastly I got a whole lot of baby toys. Everything was $1 or $2. But I still ended up spending about $20 on them.

All in all a successful trip!

Card making party

Went to a stampin' up party last night and made these fun cards! Lynda always puts together such beautiful creations for us.

Free car wash!

Well it pays to ask! I found an OLD punch card for the car wash it's not even the same loyalty program they have now but they honored it and combined with my current points I saved almost $20 today! Woohoo!

Best deal yet!

Used air miles to get a $50 Hbc gift card then went to zellers for their closing sale and I picked up this $90 bedding set for $26, so it was basically free!
