A half bag of new trims $1.99 and Johnny recieved 4 pair shorts, Allison 3 shorts, 1 skirt, 1 capri, and 3 shirts, Paul 3 overalls and 1 short, Erin 1 short for camp and lauren a pair of lovely olive green gouchos with belt perfect for back to school.

Thrifty Heaven
JOhnny was at Scout Day camp making a bulls eye and a wooden thing to sit on. Lauren and Allie were at 1/2 Day Bible school. So, this time is best spent scavenging the many many Pattern boxes at Mission WOrld.

There is a Bannana knocking at the door
SO... big suprise the kids are only half completing chore jobs. And fussing about everything. Sunday was DS1's 1st communion and company was arriving for a luncheon that day. I am worn out . On these days it is best to find the humor and grab it.
While putting laundry away in another room, DS1 is playing in his room and after DD2 leaves the room he locks the door against DD3. DD3 decided she wants to play...... I hear Knock knock knock... DS1 asks"who is it?" the reply of course is "bananna" he is not sure who it was so does not respond. the of course happens two more times he never bites and opens the door nor does he ask the standard "bananna who?". DD3 gives up and wanders off and I have a good laugh and a title for today.
Sunday...... DS1 looks wonderful in his charcol pinstripe suit. He was nervous but, did well with propmting from Father. I missed the look on his face from the wine however. His father caught it and will remember it always. The luncheon after wards was nice and simple. Salads, sandwiches and time with family. Oh, the coupe de gra was a 4 hour hard sleep afterwards.
