Graduation and Snow Cones

So smarty pants graduated from College...I mean Kindergarten last week! There was a really wonderful ceremony at the school. The kids sang song and got awarded certificates. The songs were so cute! And if you know me I am not a person who cries easy so I will have to chalk it up to the fact that I am pregnant, that I nearly lost it when the kids started singing about growing up! It was all I could do to hold it together! His school has been so wonderful to us this year, there could not have been a better place for him. They have made sure to challenge him in every aspect, and his principle totally believes in helping not only the children who need help, but also keeping the ones who don't need help moving forward! It was a great year for him. I know he is looking forward to summer though!


Here is a picture of him from graduation


So since graduation is over summer is in full effect! If you have ever been to Nampa you know that during the summer months they set up snow cone shacks all over town. The other day we went to the snow cone shack and for the three of us to get snow cones we paid $6.25! I thought that was NUTS! Especially with my new frugal state of mind. So I went to Wal-mart and purchased my own snow cone machine for $18 and I got 3 different kinds of syrup for $9. So if we make 4 snow cones each it pays for itself! (FYI: we each had 3 snow cones the first day I got it) So we are snow cone loving fools! Right in the comfort of our own home! Now that is Thrifty if you ask me :)

Here is a picture of Ty enjoying a Sour apple snow cone after school today!
