March 2017 Spending

We had a really fun March. We got our profit share check and our California tax return this month so our savings accounts are looking pretty good again, however little pup pup Roxy hasn't been feeling so good. We had to take her to the vet and put her on special kibble and a pill since she was throwing up a lot... were still not sure she's 100% better, but we can put her back on her normal kibble now and she's almost done with her pills so we get to watch and see if the yacking comes back. But at meal times, she has to go on the patio so she doesn't eat little dudes table droppings.

The warmer weather is starting to continue and we are feeling the spring summer itch to spend time outdoors. Little Dude discovered sand toys at his birthday party and oh man is it adorable. I'm glad our little complex has a sand playground, were going to get a ton of use out of it now... and his scooter. He loves his helmet and likes to just wear it around the house. It's cute folks... it really is.

Now that we have done most of our annual purchases, we should start to see a more accountable budget that doesn't pull from savings as much as we have the past couple months (well minus the computer upgrade hubs is planning).

We have also continued house hunting and have hit a few open houses in the area to decide where we will want to move to. We feel like we don't have to move, but can and now is a good time to look and see what's going on out there in the market so we can get a good idea if we want to buy or wait for something nicer to pop up.
