On Wednesday, Box 402 options for our weekend of fun were either GaGa Ball (FREE!) or St. Augustine (Cha-Ching!). Although we really wanted to do both, St. Augustine just couldn't fit in to our time schedule. So we are delaying that a week and going to celebrate Mother's Day next weekend there! How fun! </div>

So each weekend there would be two choices. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We would open the P.O. Box for each weekend the Wednesday before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If we had extra money we could choose the "cha-ching" activity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If not we could choose the "free" activity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And some weekends we could choose to do both!</div>

A few years ago one of my good friends gave me this set of P.O. Boxes. And we are a very creative family. So we put our minds together and came up with a way to plan for all our weekends together. 143 for anyone who doesn't know stands for "I Love You!" The perfect number for our P.O. Box idea.</div>
