Did you enjoy some delicious frugal fun at Cold Stone Creamery tonight? We sure did!

How cute are those matching dresses! I particularly love the hair bows!
We went and gave $2 donation. Still a very good deal for the ice cream.
You have beautiful children and you look great too!
We did too! A few too many toppings in the ice cream for me, but we still enjoyed the outing thanks to your heads up.
I love Frugal Fun!!! You all look GREAT!! Such an encouragement to all of us!!
Blessings,
Deb @ Frugal Living “And Having Fun” (smile)
little man is SO BIG NOW!
Your girls are so cute! And Silas is getting so big! How fun!!! I’m glad you all got to have some “frugal fun” tonight as a family.
Did you sew your girls’ dresses? I can’t imagine you’d have time to sew, but one never knows! If they were sewn, I’d like to know what pattern it was. It’s a cute, simple design.
God has blessed you with a beautiful family!
I can’t over how big the youngest is getting!
We missed out tonight because the closest store to us just closed down this spring. Glad you guys were able to enjoy a night out!

Love it!!! My little boy just turned 4 months old.. and they both have about the same amount of hair lol. he is adorable!!
You have Beautiful children!!! It looks like a good time was had by all!!
We did too! For a $5 donation, the four of us enjoyed the free ice cream. Not a freebie, definitely, but a very good price for Coldstone ice cream and a chance to help sick kids.
Love the girls’ dresses! Our good camera has a broken lens and so we’re currently taking low quality photos, as well.
We didn’t go, unfortunately. Looks like you had fun- what can be better than cheap or free ice cream. BTW – did you sew those dresses? What a cute pattern.
The dresses and matching bows came from:

Love them and Julie does excellent sewing! Their family is saving to adopt so all of the profits from dress sales are going to their adoption fund. Definitely go check them out!
I still hope that someday I might learn how to sew myself. I’ve tried long and hard to learn, with little success. I’ve just had to accept that some people are much more talented in that realm than me and it’s okay to let them sew for me instead!
Too cute! We didn’t go, because the closest one is MANY miles away, but I love their ice cream!
So glad you got the dresses! You have such a sweet family
We got our Cold Stone last night. It’s always nice to give to a good cause.
Hello!
I love it when you post family updates and photos! I can’t believe how big your children are getting. They grow so fast, don’t they?
I popped over to see the Flitterbug site — so many cute dresses! I love to sew, but seldom find the time to do much more than mending. No matter how you try, mending is nowhere near as fun as creating beautiful new clothing:)
Take Care,
Trixie
Your children are precious! Count me in as another mom of a 4 month old almost bald little guy! Is there a printable for Rogaine? LOL
Beautiful, beautiful family. I loved the pictures. Donna
We did!! I forgot about it and then we drove by and they were holding out signs, had to turn around! I was surprised how not crowded they were, but hey we got 4 cups of ice cream for 5 bucks!
How stinkin’ cute are your kids?! I could just eat them up!
We didn’t go because my 8th grader came home from school sick, so I made him some cookies instead.
Thanks for all the great tips!
Your family is beautiful – we enjoyed ice cream last night too! We also got free ice cream cake slices too!
Oh wow he has really gotten big! Your family is beautiful as always
Look at how the baby has grown. He’s adorable! Sadly, all our Coldstone’s have closed, so we missed out on the free ice cream. We sat by the firepit in the backyard instead!
We went but went ahead a paid about full price since it was for a good cause. $20 for four ice creams and good feelings for all
I love this dresses, they are adorable. Where do you find matching outfits for your girls? I have 2 girls 2yrs apart and the only place I can find matching clothes is Babiesrus.
**********************
Money Saving Mom here: My favorite places to find matching clothes for the girls are by ordering through Target.com or JCP.com. I’ve found then when I look at their clearance items, use a free shipping coupon, and order through eBates, I can often find outfits for less than $5 which are matching, too! I love matching the girls as it makes it so much simpler for me!
love the outfits. my 2 year old has an outfit i made out of the same fabric. your kids are so cute.
The girls are getting big! So is Silas! They are are beautiful!
We were planning on giving $5 for 3 of us, but the store was selling tickets at the door (to be redeemed at the counter) for $1 donation per person. I told her to just keep the extra, but she gave us 5 tickets and said that they were small servings so we should get 5. It was yummy!
Glad you made it out too! The manager at our Cold Stone was hoping for a bigger turnout, but we did our part. We got 6 scoops for 5 people.
I’m a little surprised that you would have a cell phone, given the cost of a cell phone bill each month. (Your comment of snapping photos with ur phone.) Do you have cell phones and land lines?
