10 more weeks...

Time for a new Menu!!! This has worked fantastically for our family. It doesn't give us a ton of variety, but knowing what is for dinner takes a ton of stress of me and makes B happy. I know what groceries we need for the week and am able to plan ahead. If it's something complicated I know I'll have to use nap time to get everything together. I've made some adjustments such as: It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to eat soup in the middle of the summer. Duh. I have found that I LOVE breakfast for dinner and it's really easy so I made that every week instead of every other. I switched easy night to wed for B since I have to work every other wed.

Not much else going on here. It was a good weekend at work and I think my mom survived the kids. I think B is a little exhausted from all his fun, but I haven't asked too much about the happenings. The house is pretty clean so that's all I can ask. I have a lot of unpacking and laundry to get done....we'll see how many days it takes me.
G goes to the doctor for shots this afternoon. Tomorrow M has her first day of Fall Kindermusik. Wed I have to work :( and then Thursday and Friday we are taking it easy! Luckily Casey called this morning and asked if she could have M today- that leaves me lots of free time to waste on line and also some time to get caught up with the laundry and unpacking. Whew. I better get going.

Wow! I'm impressed by your menu planning. I'll have to start doing something like that, since right now Josh cooks and I'll be taking over from him in the next few weeks.
