Menu Plan Monday Sept. 16

Oh, hello Monday.  When did you get here?

I feel like I had an exhausting weekend, but it wasn’t any worse than the ones before.  I think I am still recovering from the summer.

Sunday I had to run to the store so I used a promo-code at Redbox to rent the newest Star Trek movie.

LOVED IT!

I am so happy they decided to do a younger Enterprise crew, as opposed to creating a new crew.  I think the cast is excellent.

After doing dinner, baths, dishes, putting boys to bed, and making lunches, we finally turned it on about 9:30.  Which meant I didn’t get to bed till after 11:30!

I know, I am a party animal!

 

 

I started my meal plan earlier in the day, but the kids took over and I didn’t get it done yesterday.  When looking at recipes I came across the one for the Cheeseburger casserole, and just then my hubby walked by and said “tater tots! that looks awesome!”

So I had to add it to the plan.  Not really my first choice for a meal.  And let’s be honest, I will probably make some kind of pasta to eat with it.

 

Baby Sid has found a new way to get messy during meal times.

Really?  Not only to I have to clean his face, hair, ears, hands and arms; but now I have to clean his feet too?

Menu Plan Monday Sept. 9

It has been a crazy week and weekend.

Baby Sid’s party turned out fantastic.  I can’t wait to put up some pictures.

I have seen him do a number on food and make a spectacular mess, but he didn’t really get that messy with the cake.  The Jello though, that was everywhere, and the blue took forever to come off his fingers!

Menu Plan Monday Sept. 2

Happy Labor Day!!

We are having Baby Sid’s first birthday party this coming weekend.  And let’s be honest here.  I really have no plans for dinner.

I am still gonna have to make dinner, I know, but it will be a surprise!

Since the party is this weekend I have tons of stuff to do this week, so I know that dinners will be made on the fly.  Even if I did plan stuff, it wouldn’t get made.

The crockpot will probably get used more than once this week.

I have been making some great decorations for the party

Thank you tags for the guest gifts

Menu Plan Monday Aug 26

I have a portable high chair that I usually take to other people’s houses.  Because not everybody has a high chair at their house.  I know, shocker right?

Recently I forgot it.  Look how I improvised.
