Minor money stuff in my favor :)

July 19th, 2012 at 02:00 am


This morning was the used uniform sale at the high school. I headed over with my daughter right after it opened. She found a pair of school pants in a size Jr 1 and a long-sleeved polo shirt. Total price for those two items was $10. The school uniform provider was also there measuring and selling items. I was able to exchange two uniform shirts for the correct size and was able to get a $70 refund on two pairs of pants in a size 3 which were huge on my daughter, and the uniform company happened to have discountinued any size 1s in their line. Happy about that Smile

I was able to locate a Lacrosse stick at a local Play It Again Sports for $29.99. Not the top of the line, but perfectly basic and fine for a novice. Happy news is that daughter had a good time at Lacrosse camp, the coach met her during VBS in June and said that D is a good player for someone who has never played before. AND she's making some new friends. I had some concerns because her best friend (with whom she is two peas in a pod) is going to the other parochial school.

We returned to VBS today and everyone was in much better spirits than yesterday when we skipped. My older girls were helpers and the boys were campers. We had a parish potluck (as we do each year during the program) and it was nice to see some families we don't usually, and everyone is so nice. Makes me feel very fortunate to have a church community that is warm and welcoming.

Had some minimal spending today: $12 for gas (forgot how much we go through driving back and forth to camps, etc), $7.09 at Aldi's (for recipe items for my jello dessert that I brought to the potluck), and $10.00 for the uniform items. Not horrible and all necessary.

Tomorrow we are opting out of VBS and oldest son is having a band concert at the pool we belong to. I'm looking forward to a fun time at the pool, lounging and relaxing and listening to primary school band students! Friday will be back to VBS, but the last day is fun.

Off to catch up on the blogs!
