I don't think there's anything wrong with being frugal. You're teaching your boys valuable lessons about money, that they will take with them forever.<br /><br />I hope everyone is enjoying the Wii!<br /><br />Hey, we'd like to feature you next Tuesday on BlogTrotting!

I won't embarass myself by saying how much our own is, but I will say that we have NOT been as financially responsible as you and after my year-long maternity leave, things are not pretty. We are making the sacrifices now, or at least trying. I'm not good at it. Money was never an issue before kids. <br /><br />At any rate, I love your idea of the jar. I think we might pinch that one for our house. I'll look forward to reading about your summer adventures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-21294931443311526712010-04-04T22:39:14.584-04:002010-04-04T22:39:14.584-04:00Happy Easter!!!!!!

The wood on the barn and fences really show up. Looks like the boys really enjoyed their day. Glad you got in one of the pictures!! Love, A.

Thanks for the link to the bike dump. D has already outgrown the bike he was given (hand me down) last year and he is growing so fast I just don't have the heart to buy a new one. He will just outgrow it in another year. Your boys will love the Wii, and you will too. There are lots of Mommy friends "games" out there. And I am one kick ass singer on Rock Band! :)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623046375096046381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-23149248159718284542010-04-01T09:07:15.808-04:002010-04-01T09:07:15.808-04:00i love "fun" money. but never really ha...i love "fun" money. but never really have any. and you haven't seen a tighter tightwade than me! for the next couple of years anything that might be extra will have to go to the ridiculous amount on the line of credit (you don't want to know, but jst think 4 yrs on one salary, school and $800/month in daycare). we want to move in the next 5 yrs and will have to make as much money as we can to move where we want to move (your neck of the woods being one of our possible destinations).<br /><br />as for rewards, bribes, what ever you want to call them? i am a HUGE fan! yeah for liam for gaining the confidence and yeah for all of you for the Wii. i'm no gamer, but the wii is a lot of fun and great for the whole fam.<br /><br />happy bunnies and chocolate!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740293052409345978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-76991545218569180012010-03-31T10:44:57.324-04:002010-03-31T10:44:57.324-04:00I have such a hard time spending money on anything...I have such a hard time spending money on anything that is not practical as well, and have only recently learned how to do so. That said, we have had a Wii for awhile (I justified it by saying it was better than TV, and that I could work out on it and save how much money that would otherwise be spent at a gym... and driving to the gym).<br /><br />The wii is great! You will all enjoy it! And it does promote a 'family time' of sorts! I hope you find one and have a ball! :)Sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366504500666420418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-11995455584553981332010-03-30T21:48:18.106-04:002010-03-30T21:48:18.106-04:00I think Jonathan and Monika bought theire wii at E...I think Jonathan and Monika bought theire wii at EBGAMES, but not sure...<br />And by the way you can tell Liam than not ALL of his friend have game system..we don't even have a tv!

Buying used when we can, not going out on random shopping adventures, spending our money wisely. But we've day dreamt about buying a Wii, yep, sure have. Eventually though, we decided that we'd never own a game system, no matter how much the kids decided to hate us. There are always things around the house to be done, with all of our food allergies. Foods to prepare and freeze, things to get cleaned, gardens to tend to, blah blah blah. Ask me how that plan works out in 5 years though, hahah. <br /><br />Good for you guys, for spending money ON YOURSELVES. You deserve to. It takes A LOT of will power to behave the way that you do, saving your money and spending it wisely. So many familys could learn so much from you <3Tia Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055062627149820244noreply@blogger.com
