Today was a good day. At our local Movie Theatre they are showing older movies for free at 10 am. I figured this would be a nice thing for me and the kids to do. Early this morning we went to the grocery store and bought some peaches to make a homemade peach pie after the movies.
I found some coupons for the concession online for $5 and figured I would print them out and see if they would work. So we swung by the store got our pie fixings and then dropped them off before heading to the movies early to make sure we got a spot.
When we got there we were the second people there so we definitely would get in. They opened the doors a bit before the movies started and the kids and I headed to the concession stand. I handed the girls each one of the coupons and let them order the kids reel deal (box with popcorn, small drink and small candy) which cost $5. They didnt know if they took them, manager said yes they are put in as cash. As my girls were finishing up and I was ordering myself one I hear behind me a mother and her 2 kids talking about what they can get. They pull out ziploc bags of change that they have saved to get the overpriced goodies. I dig in my purse and pull out 3 more coupons that I just happened to print out and hand them over and let them know they can get the kids meal deal "FOR FREE!!" The light that shone over the kids and mother's face just made my day!
Now maybe they could use those carefully saved coins for gas to get home...LOL!!
So I felt really good about that and we had a wonderful time at the movies.
Then when i came home we made the really beautiful peach pie I have been waiting all day to make.
Then to make the day even ore rewarding I had a lady come over that I contacted whose sister just passed away a few days ago. She was left with her sister's 2 kids and has 2 of her own. I gave her a ton of the girls old clothes as well as Mychael's. She was so thankful.
I did two good deeds today and was rewarded with a free fun day with my wonderful kids and a delicious(hopefully) peach pie I made with my own two hands.
Life is good!!!
