![]() I did spend way more on those adorable school pictures than I wanted to, there PTO is having a fundraiser, but I am not buying anything, I really dont need cookie dough in my house or gourmet popcorn. I am not even really pushing to sell it as she will get nothing (prizes) out of it. ![]() -------------------- Di ~ mommy to Kaitlin wife to David

i think the school rents out the classes for foreign language etc at night so anything left in desks is not safe and my children would lose their heads if it wasn't attached, so getting them to remember to bring them home daily would be a miracle
![]() i forgot that they also had their fall fun fair too. that usually costs me $40 but i sent my ex to take them with $10 so he paid the rest. ![]() -------------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Administrators of Parenting Club take violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

Yup, we just doled out $$ for the cookie dough/card/wrapping paper fundraiser and pictures gotta go in this week too. We also pay for pizza lunches but only 1 week before the lunch but boy is it starting to add up. Now we will have hockey fundraising to do this year too.

I'm afraid to admit how much school is costing me for both of my children.

Yup there's been a lot of extras this year. Mainly because there's a cafeteria, which I think in the long run is actually cheaper then making lunches, and more healthy options then I can send.
We've had a school trip Pictures Terry Fox Run Christmas Order Dances Robbie is costing me a lot since we've moved here with all his extra activities as well. I'm starting to make him pay half. Why else do I give him an allowance? -------------------- |

Well, they are 2 and 6...I don't want them to have their own apartment just yet. ![]() ![]() Ethan is in preschool and Maddie is in a private christian college prep school. That's a mouth full, huh? ![]() ![]() |

I'll agree with Aimee- my older two are in private school as well, which is worth it, but ungodly expensive.
The thing that is killing me lately besides the supplies and all that is the different sales and drives going on. In the past month, Ryan's had a Scout popcorn sale and a space derby fundraiser, both kids have had the wrapping paper company sale, and Aliyah's had a cookie dough sale for Daisy Scouts. Not to mention the school rummage and book sale. ![]() -------------------- |
