I have been working night shift for the weekend. My DH was looking for something to do with the kids. I gave him some money form the checking account, and he took the kids to the historical museum today. It cost 36 dollars total and they were there for three hours.
It's cheap entertainment, easy on the budget, and gave them some quality time together.
Do you have any programs (around here, they are run thru public libraries) where you can get discounted, and sometimes FREE vouchers for things such as state parks, museums, etc? HTH
ReplyDeleteYes. My kids have done the library reading programs and are avid readers. They are 19, 17, and close to 16 now. The museum offers a free day on Wednesdays from 10-4. They love being at the library, but the museum was my husband's idea.
DeleteI work weekend night shift. The kids are loud during the day. The goal is to get them out doing something, so they don't wake me up. I'd rather give them something to do that's constructive and educational (even if I have to pay for it) instead of them sitting at home while I am trying to sleep. It's priceless and keeps me from being confrontational when I get up to get ready for work.
