The day was mostly quiet while the eco tot made memories with his grandparents.
When he arrived the Halloween festivities began & this message was waiting for him.

A big thank you to Mr. Porter who sent us these photos!! We’re so grateful.
Frugal is Fun!
We live in the desert…and it get’s really HOT! Scorching hot. With summer approaching we’ve been getting some high temps around here. Unfortunately, we’re not that privileged to own a pool! Tristan doesn’t start swimming lessons for another 2 wks. so lately I’ve been filling up the plastic containers with ankle depth water for Tristan to soak in. They make great toddler pools. You could even use them as a temporary play pin; they’re tall enough. Make sure you keep your eyes on your baby!!! Adult supervision is required at all times! What’s awesome is we can use them for storage and for fun! Afterwards, we dump the water in the veggie garden and there’s no waste! We have 2 dogs and they enjoy taking a cool dip too. We used to buy a plastic toddler pool for them until we inherited a horse trough (metal) from a friend. They love getting in and out of it, too. A huge bonus here is that these containers are made out of recycled plastic…way to go hubs!!! Who needs to spend tons of money on a pool- of course when you have a toddler….!!! Storage containers are perfect entertainment when acting as a pool. Mr. Tristar enjoys taking a dip!
What sort of frugal fun do you do with your kids?
