Ryan's Frugalicious Birthday
What do you do when you're low on the dough?
But you hope to celebrate as much as bfoe. (Ebonics for before)
Take the steps devised by a frugal pro:
Step #1- Sleep in. Miss breakfast entirely so you only have to worry about lunch and dinner. And then make a brunch.
Step #2- Make a homemade gift. Or in my case, a mostly finished homemade gift.
Step #3- Get a free video rental from Hollywood Video. We recommend Primer to those who like indie films that make you go, "Wait, what's going on?" Seriously, if you understand it the first time you watch it you are either a genius or lying.
Step #4- Get a free burger and shake from Fudruckers
Step #5- Get a free burger and bottomless fries from Red Robin
Step #6- Get a free yogurt from Yogurtagogo (For a pic see here.)
We can't have birthdays without good food. Good food this year meant free food. And Ryan is to thank for that as he got us those free coupons. Thanks, honey! It was so much fun celebrating the day together as a family, especially when it didn't break the bank! By the way, please be aware that we will be having a huge party on 11/11/11 for Ryan's 30th and you are all invited. (We're saving up for that one!)

Sorry, these pictures are just a little late...
For Halloween this year we decided to make our own costumes. Well, 2 out of 3. I had designed a pattern for Jonah's jacket but we ran out of time to sew it. That's why he's wearing an enormous jacket intended for a four year old. Thank you Francesca for letting us use your sewing machine, dr's jacket, and crutch! Sorry, Jonah, next year we'll start with YOUR costume. What kind of parents are we?!
We also got pumpkins from Dave's pumpkin patch, and carved them with our friend, Stan. We bought a $3 carving kit from Walmart and MAN, what a difference good tools and guides make!
Here, in case you can't tell, I'm imitating the carved witch:
And here are all three of our rad pumpkins being admired by our little punkin:
