Well, I was cleaning out the big stack of paper that had accumulated over the past couple of months, and I found a few items I had forgotten to record in the spreadsheet.
We are not doing any of these this year:
1. Wentzville parks and recreation activities, including self-defense/hapkido $55, little wizards $15, little chefs $15 and Wentzville Readers' Theatre $80.
2. St. Louis Soccer Club - $140. (We are playing soccer, but for about half that price.)
3. The Green Tree Science Fair - $5 per project board.
Wow - I just saved $310!

From Basket Raffles to Laundry Baskets
Not much to tell yet about the upcoming basket raffle...but I have a feeling it's going to cost me something! Especially since one of my neighbors is the co-chair of the fundraiser!
Next Friday night is movie night. AD wants to go, so I suppose I'll shell out $5 for that. It's for a good cause, right? I hope so, because it's a movie he's already seen and grandma is watching him that night anyway, so I won't even get a "night out" out of this deal.
We'll not be signing up for youth football for $65. (We've already signed up for soccer and baseball, which were not included in the spreadsheet, since they were not sent to us in the backpack.)
Oh, and it's Valentine's week. We've picked up a $2.50 box of Valentines, donated all of our old shoeboxes and purchased two bottles of chocolate syrup and a bag of Oreo's for the ice-cream sundae party toppings.
What do you think? Should I include the $15 I spent on jeans this weekend? On one hand, he could have made it without them, but on the other, he barely had enough pants for a whole week, and I suppose I wanted laundry reprieve! I won't include them in the spreadsheet yet...

Snow Day!
Today is a snow day - no school - fun sledding to abound...
Yesterday in the backpack there was a note for Junior Basketball. Wentzville Parks & Rec. $55 for us. It begins on January 28. Yes...yesterday was January 31. So I guess that means if we sign up we'll have to pay the $10 late fee. If they are sending this home to us just now, I have to assume it is because they didn't have enough interest on Monday. If that is the case, why don't they waive the late registration fee? We'll show them - we just won't sign up! And I had high hopes for Junior's Basketball abilities. *sigh*
It's also time for the PTO fundraiser for Art Supplies. We loved this one last year. They take a piece of your student's artwork and sell all kinds of items emblazoned with the art. Last year we bought two t-shirts, a tote bag, a quilt square, a mug and a notebook. Maybe we won't go quite so crazy this year. But you'll definitely see something in the spreadsheet for this one.
