The US Presidents Song - Video and Words

If you have been a reader of the Frugal Indy website for more than a year than you might recognize this video - but since President's day is coming up, I thought I would repost it.

This video is of my son singing the names of the Presidents. If you would like to have your kids learn them - it was actually pretty easy and fun! I've included the works at the bottom of the page for you.

IMCPL Book Sale 2/5-7/2010

This weekend there is a Library Booksale at the Library Services Center. This is a great place to find books for yourself or your children.

I like to have books available for the kids to look at, and if I've only paid .50 or $1.00 for the book, I don't feel bad if a page or two gets ripped while they develop a love for books.

As you see, we love books!

Here is more info. about the book sale:

Also - you cannot take strollers or carts into the center, so keep this in mind. I suggest taking a heavy duty canvass bag. I have a bag with wheels, that is not a "cart" so I use that when I go.

First thing Saturday it is quite a crazy zoo! It thins out a bit as you get toward lunch time. Several times, I have dropped Hubby and kids off right up the street at the Children's Museum
and went down to do my looking and then come back to join them when I was finished.

Muncie Children's Museum - Free Family Night

Just about an hour North East of Indianapolis is the Muncie Children's Museum. This is a fun, small, family friendly museum. It is a nice change from the very large Children's Museum of Indianapolis where we normally go. My son loves it and asks often when we can go again!

On February 5th, 2010, the Muncie Children's Museum is FREE from 3-7 pm! If you live North of Indianapolis, this might be a fun evening for your family!

If you are not able to go then check these coupons good for other times.

Disney Store Closing - Greenwood Park Mall

The Disney Store at the Greenwood Park Mall is closing on or before 2/20/10. Currently all items are 25% off the lowest marked price.

























I was able to get this pretty little dress for only $15.00. The retail price is $49.50. As you can see, my little girl was very pleased with her "Princess" dress. If you get one of these dresses - they seem to run a bit small. My daughter wears a 24 months and this dress is a 2/3.

























She was very excited that it matched her dolly's dress!

An added bonus is that our floor is now "sparkly" - even without mopping =).
