The kit we purchased makes 24 different foam ornaments. Each one is a penguin or a snowman. Kids simply punch out and glue the foam bits together and a circle pic in the middle. Even comes with a '2009' piece!

For me anyway DS#1 def costs more and that's even with him not having tons of stuff on his list...a few clothes and electronics. DS#2 is obviously eay easier to score cheaper stuff but certainly not as easy as when he was a baby/ toddler or preschooler.
Also my budgets for Christmas may be higher than the next person too because I am NOT a big toy/ treat/ clothing purchaser during the year. Many things wait for Christmas and their birthdays. ]]> Money Saving Tips: Family Momof2boys2005 http://mommysavers.com/boards/money-saving-tips-family/139488-so-do-you-feel-ages-your-children-changes-your-x-mas-budget-them.html http://mommysavers.com/boards/money-saving-tips-family/139447-there-outdoor-ice-skating-where-you-live.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:19:44 GMT Just wondered if there is outdoor Ice skating where you live in the winter? when I was a kid we went every weekend and it was so much fun there is really only indoor here now but what about where you live?

Our money has been so tight this year. We finally made some changes that will help out tremendously but not until next year. So now here we are at Christmas and we are broke yet again. What are you spending? How many gifts are you getting each of your kids? My toddler would be fine with just a few things but my older ds expects more you know? On Christmas gifts for your kids?

Probably too late for anyone to do now as I noticed at our Walmart last night, all the costumes are gone. My boys have always loved to dress up in old Halloween costumes and play. Last week at Walmart I got $20 costumes for $5 each for them. They were all GI Joe costumes. I also got them the GI Joe movie. So they will watch that and than dress up and play. I am giving them all of that for Christmas. Here is an idea for either Christmas or just for fun.

I thought it might make a cheap and fun gift to give to the kids that my 4 yr old DS plays with.
I can't decide which would be cooler - so opinions please
1) I can put the ingredients into a container and share the recipe and how to make it
or 2) I just make it and put it into the container ]]> Money Saving Tips: Family 3to4 http://mommysavers.com/boards/money-saving-tips-family/137938-kids-gift-idea.html http://mommysavers.com/boards/money-saving-tips-family/137923-any-your-kids-re-wearing-old-costumes-halloween-year.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:14:55 GMT My son wants to be a pirate again - luckily he wore that costume last year so we're getting it out again.
