Name FIVE fun and frugal things you're planning on doing this weekend! Here are mine:

1. Set up the Slip N Slide for the Kids
2. Have friends over for dinner instead of going out
3. I'm going to try making mojitos with the mint in my garden (anyone have a good recipe?)
4. Reading a good book on my chair on the deck
5. Taking a nap, hopefully.

What are yours?

1. Working my 14 hours shift tomorrow and 13 hour shift on Sunday. I will take my lunch to work so I won't be tempted to order out.
2. Have a freezer meal ready for the family to cook while I am at work.
3. Kids will be staying at home or going to the lake to swim for free.
4. DH is out of town working also so that is frugal also.
5. Sleeping as much as I can when I am not working.
