Menu Plan Monday Aug 5

I ended up taking Monday off due to childcare conflicts.  Which means I have to work on Wed. and that means I have to work four days in a row! yuck.

But that also caused me to forget that Monday was coming and I needed to plan some meals…

Oh well. Better late then never.

We spent the last 3 days pool side at Bamma’s house.

Menu Plan Monday July 29

What happened to July?

This week is our trifecta of wedding anniversaries.  My sister got married on Aug 1st, then I got married on July 31st, then my cousin got married on July 30th.

 

So go ahead.  Party hard this week and celebrate this week with us.
Sometimes I think Monday should be Food-Photo Day.

I love taking pictures of Baby Sid eating.  I think cause he loves to eat so much.

Menu Plan Monday May 27

On Saturday I was walking in from the garage and threw out my back.

I wasn’t even carrying any laundry!

I would try to stretch my back out, trying to put things back, doing some yoga.

Every time I would lie on the floor I would have some visitors.

Ian asks “canna I sit on your back an put my feets on your arms?”

There was a point when I had to crawl down the hall pushing a laundry basket.  It was pathetic.

But alas, life goes on as does motherhood.  Ian keeps asking if my back is better, but then forgets and asks me to pick him up.  He then has sympathy pains and tells me his back hurts too.  He is such a great kid!

Mr Hubby is leaving town on Wed to do some fishing with Da Boys.  So I decided to cook things I know Ian will eat.  Hopefully this will make my life a little easier.

Menu Plan 7/15-721

Mon: Spaghetti with garlic bread

Tue: Easy Beer Mac & Cheese with chicken

Wed: Baked Ravioli 

Thr: Tacos

Fri: Caesar Chicken Burgers with pasta salad 

Sat:

Sun: Garlic & Rum Grilled Pork Chops with Pepper Jack Potatoes 

Happy Cooking
