August Offerings

Ok, since we are going into August, I took an inventory of what we had in the fridge, pantry, and freezer. I'm hoping to get through a good portion of the month with the items we have, I've got a birthday for Kevin to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese, Mary and Kevin are going to need some school supplies (we have a bunch left form last year though, may need to just get each a new pair of sneakers), Sarah has her third tuition payment for LFCC, and three more books to rent, and the kids are going to be going to the dentist for September. I am going to have to increase our gas usage and costs to get my kid to her LFCC classes.
