Boston Market, Buy 1 Adult Meal, Get 2 Free Kid Meals

For those of us who have many little people to feed, this feeds three people for $6 (or in my case five for $6). Which I consider awesome when I'm tired and hungry and in the vicinity of Boston Market. And they even have vegetables that taste good to kids. And me. So I'm totally going. See the details here. Most important is no coupon required. And they want to see your kids. So no sneaking two kid meals back to your husband (wink, wink). And it ends on Halloween.

Target 75% off Swim Gear

While returning some items today, I noticed that they were marking down swim gear to 75% off. I picked up a couple of mega floats for the twins and a backyard pool with a slide and waterfall for about $20. The pool is going to be one of Enoch's b-day presents next year. Just in time for swimming to get started.

You just have to see this

Does it make me a bad person that I find this amusing? OK, so not the broken chicken legs and scalding to death. Maybe it's the suggestion that we wear the evil Ronald mask to school. Something about it just had me laughing silently. Maybe they should send out Evil Lisa masks next.

Oh, and it's FREE!

Free Starry Night at the Museum

Florida Museum of Natural History is having a Starry Night this Friday, Sept. 25th, from 5 to 10 p.m.

This is what their website says about the event:

See the night sky closer than ever before. Join the Florida Museum of Natural History, the UF Astronomy Department, the Alachua Astronomy Club, and the Florida Space Grant Consortium for an inside look at the universe beyond! Build a telescope, see a portable planetarium show, or view a moonscape in 3-D!

Join astronaut, Captain Winston Scott, for an inside look at what it takes to visit space!

Bring the whole family for a fun-filled night of astronomical proportions!

The best part is, it's FREE. Of course.

Also, I want to share a personal museum experience we had this week. We went to Orlando to visit with friends, but we needed a quick activity to do while we waited to meet up. Of course the parks are astronomically (I'm on a space kick) priced, and even going to the Orlando Science Center was going to cost $60 for our whole family. So we joined our local (see above) science museum to go to all of their temporary exhibits for free and go to the Butterfly Rainforest free (we did the membership plus). Then, whenever we travel anywhere, we can look up the museum network and visit a new museum. So we got in the Orlando Science Center for "free." Which I won't actually count any of it as free until we have used the passes enough to surpass our membership fee. So I'll give you updates later. But I am pretty excited about the future educational fun we'll be having. But the point is that in the end we will have a year of fun for less than it would have cost to go to one of Orlando's many giant money traps (which are super fun, but also super pricey). It's hard having a big family and still wanting to have fun (outside of the living room)!
