I ran the numbers and I was $100.00 over budget last month. While I always strive for better, I am not to upset as this is month two and I didn't go into debt at all.
I am getting April's budget all cleaned up and hopefully have it posted in the next few days.
I got my grocery list done for the coming week. I choked a bit when I saw the estimated total, but $50.00 comes out of the Easter budget and $20.00 out of DS1's birthday budget so I am still in the normal range for weekly groceries.
I am really excited about all the cooking I am doing this weekend. I HATE daily cooking but I love make big special meals. Easter brunch is Sausage Souffle, French Toast casserole, fruit and rolls. Orange juice to drink for the kids and Mimosa's for the parents. DS1's birthday is the same day as easter and he requested homemade chicken noodle soup and Ice cream cake. Both of these meals are recipes I grew up watching my grandmother's and parents make so it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to be making them for my family.
My weekend is booked! We have an Easter egg hunt at my dad's Saturday morning. My little sister and I are doing an Ikea and Easter basket filling shopping trip together in the afternoon. Saturday evening DW is taking all the kids to a charity event Roomate is chairing while I get all the Easter preparations done. First half of Sunday is easter related activities, and then the afternoon is dedicated to DS1's birthday celebration.
I am really looking forward to some family time.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
