Old Cell phone pictures

I thought I'd share some old random cell phone pictures since I never take new ones. :) David peaking out of a slide in GA.
How could you not love that little sad face. He looks so small there. My babies are not babies anymore.
The Force is strong with this one. I didn't even buy the mask. I know I should have but that meant three masks and well we just didn't need them.
There is a Grammy under all those balloons. I'm not sure what this was for but I'm assuming it was a birthday.
Jack is a man of many emotions and boy is he just cute through them all too. I love that kid.

Frugality

Just been thinking about the state of the world today and wondering if any of you have good ideas on being frugal. We have taken our Suburban to the Lemon lot to sell. We realize that not many people really want an SUV right now but we don't want any more payments so we are hoping someone will buy. :) Meanwhile please share ideas on what you do to be frugal. Here's one of mine.

My kids NEVER eat the crust of their sandwiches so I cut it off before I start and then think "I don't want to throw away all this crust" I save it up and make crutons, bread crumbs, stuffing, and bread pudding. Tonight I made something I love with some of those bread crumbs. They are sweet potato croquettes. They are so yummy and savory. It seems sweet potatoes are not typically savory but they are. Yum yum. I also recently made Halibut Picatta. Waste not want not. Right?

I also recently read a list of reasons to be happy we are in a recession. Any reasons you'd like to share that you're happy for one?
