What You Do When You Don't Have Toddlers

Last Thursday [yes this is late!] we were toddler free!  So what did I do with a 5 & 8 year old and no little ones?

Go to Barns & Nobles to get a free book from their summer program
Go to Boarders to get another free book from their summer program [this program is the best!  Each time the kids complete 10 books they can go to the store & grab a free book.  Best part..they can do this over & over all summer..Boarders only though.  B&N is a one time deal.]  Mackenzie also purchases a book with my 40% off coupon.

Stop by a local Library book sale
Grab pizza for lunch
Go to 'our' local Library to switch out books
Grab Cold Stone Ice Cream for treats [with free coupon for reading 5 books]

Swim & Slip n Slide with the neighbor kids


Seriously the kids were in heaven & we got over 30 books, lunch, & ice cream for $30.  I couldn't do this every day but it was not too bad!


*See official rules for summer reading programs at their website..this was not an endorsed post.
