Since my class was cancelled -and since I didn't have a car today- I didn't take Ale to her Scouts meeting...
We went to the eye doctor in the morning: her eyesight is perfect!...so, she has to go to classes to catch up!...she says she doesn't want to, and I tell her that is up to her...if she applies herself more in the mornings, there won't be a need for her to go, but, if she continues to get distracted when she should be working, then...
in the afternoon, a friend came to pick us up and we went to La Gran Via- a new shopping mall, with a huge fountain in the middle...the kids run around and, we bought them a ride on the kiddie train ($0.50) and then we went for cake and ice cream...we ordered a strawberry shake in two glasses for the kids (perfect size! they each finished their halfs!) and a piece of cake for each of us...so, it wasn't really a very frugal weekend, but, it felt soooo good to be able to have a more "normal" weekend for a change!
