after obligation expences no avalable money.
we have have 3 boys and the middle boy Jacob B Day is on the 24Th of this month also money is aside for hid b day. But no plans as of yet not sure what to do.
Its his big 30 so I would like him to remeber it. my 30th was last june and same situation no money. and nothing done but a nother day.fathers day was same weekend kids made him some thing in school. I got him a pack of cigs, cycle trader and a little play money toy.
Do you have a printer? A camera?
One year I took photos of the kids and found a really nice song on the net. I think it was "Daddy don't walk to fast" or something like that. And surronded the song with the different pictures of the children and printed it out on regular paper then put the picture in a frame. You can get a frame from the dollar store. Or even consider having your kids make the frame out of things they can find such as beads, buttons, sea shells, etc….
Also, have the kids decorate by making their own streamers out of construction paper. They can make their own party hats out of construction paper too and if you are a seamstress, check your sewing kit to see if you have any elastic for keeping the hats on your heads. Don't have contruction paper? Drag out those Christmas lights and decorate the wall or ceiling around the table.
You can bake your own cake. If you can't afford to buy a cake mix. Go to your local food bank. They usually have cakes and/or cakes mixes and icing. You just need to ask for it and tell them it is for your husband's birthday. (I have had to actually do this before. They are very kind and helpful. They even gave me a box of stuff that had party supplies in it like candles and balloons and paper plates/cups/napkins)
Find an old white sheet and let your children decorate with their crayola markers. They can draw balloons and other things all over it.
Find candles from all over your house and place them all over your table around your cake. Have your cake elevated on something so it really stands out. Turn the stereo on with his favorite song playing so when he walks in the door it is a happy feeling.
Cook him his favorite dinner.
Rent him his favorite movie.
As your gift to him,
Write out 30 great things that you love about him…..
Best wishes!
