Notes: It was a busy day! Obviously, the bills needed to be paid and there are plenty more to pay in the next few days. I treated the kids to McDonald's to kind of break up the shopping trips. We also went to the library for an hour or so. I love that our library has free movies. Beat $3 rentals at Blockbuster any day!
