Upcoming expenses?

The school trip post got me thinking.....


What is our summer looking like? What kind of expenses do we have coming up?


Right now I already have gifts for most summer b-days I think we are attending. Except my nephew in August but I know what I want to get him. Just need to buy it. I want to get him a scooter and roller skates - probably about $35ish. I got my niece a gift and my nephew is being baptized and I already ordered him a gift.


I got my DH something already for Father's Day. (I shop a lot ahead of time in case you haven't figured that out.)


We have our block party in July. We always donate for the jumpy so the kids can have fun all day and then we have our BBQ expenses......


I am going to the Amish Acres Craft Fair this year. That will cost me money for crafts/food. Mom is offering to pay for the hotel. Thanks mom!


The Wilton tent sale is coming to my area in June. For those non-bakers its a HUGE tent sale put on by Wilton industries and they have a TON of amazing kitchen/crafty products for REAL cheap. I always allow myself about $100 to get new pans, stuff, gifts.


Otherwise, I don't see anything upcoming that will bust my budget until fall when I will start *gasp* CHRISTMAS shopping!

I have Father's Day and my Dad's Birthday next month, but after that point no more family birthdays!

Ugh, I don't really want to think about it, but I suppose better that I do.


$260 left to pay on DD's cheerleading (due May 21)


Approx. $250 flight for DD to fly back and forth to Michigan (although my parents usually pay for the flight to Michigan, so we will see), $100 spending money while she is in Michigan


Approx. $1000 for 3 flights back and forth to Michigan for DH to pick up and drop off DSS.


Approx. $150 possible camp fees for DSS while he is here for visitation.

Huh, I thought I had replied to this one already. I must be losing it!

Swimming lessons $100: that should have showed up on my visa already and has not?? must check into that!

Camps: I got one of their camps fully paid for by the local church which was a wonderful bonus. I have already taken care of the deposits for the other camp the boys are attending. The fee will likely come to $400.

Museum: I wold like to take the kids to a museum in the city. Pack a lunch and browse around at some point this summer. Tickets?? $100 total?

Garden: $200 Still too wet and cold to put that in!!

I don't have anything else planned. Something will likely come up. It always does.....

This is a good idea, getting my list down in black and white.
