What do you Use your allowance for?

Today was the last day of the Maryland Renaissance Festival. It made me sad to walk onto the Faire ground and to say goodbye to old and new friends.

One of MACs favorite things to do is to eat. When she gets to go to the Faire and eat it is even happier. She was sad today because she knew that it was the end of all the goodies I tend to bring home to her.

Last week we had to fix my car, to the tune of $780, so this was a very lean last day at Faire. As I was leaving this morning she asked me to get her a spinach pie and some cheese bread. I told her that I was happy to get her a pie but that if she wanted the cheese bread she would have to pay for it herself. I thought I was being smart but she ran upstairs and grabbed her wallet.

She has both spinach pie and cheese bread for lunch tomorrow. Each time I spoke with her father she would yell at the phone, "Did you get my bread?" I was very happy to be able to tell her that she got double cheese bread. I was able to get Hubby a last piece of Spicy Beef Jerky and to have my first steak on a steak. 

It was sad that it was the last day of Faire but I know that it will only make us look forward to next year all the more!
