Day 4: Our First Sunday

We've told the kids about our January plan, but our son was none too happy when Daddy informed him we were not eating at a restaurant after church today. He was craving McDonald's or Mexican, not lame leftovers at home. We were all hungry and the thought of cleaning up yet another kitchen mess didn't appeal to me. But we stuck to our guns, heated up leftover spaghetti and bread, snacked on grapes and carrots and topped it all off with peanut butter pie and vanilla ice cream. We left the mess until after "family nap", but we all agreed it was worth the $30-$40 that we saved.
